Paul speaks of Christ as the Great High Priest, who, instead of offering animal sacrifices, laid down His own life to provide the way for us to be brought back into God’s presence (Hebrews 4:14). He sacrificed His life upon the cross and taught that because He did so, all men can be drawn unto Him (3 Nephi 27:14). He is the Redeemer of the world, and His Atonement makes God’s eternal plan efficacious.
