He is the kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has now been set apart from sinners, and he has been given the highest place of honor in heaven. He does not need to offer sacrifices every day like the other high priests. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all when he sacrificed himself on the cross.
Hebrews 7:26-27

The reason we do not practice the Old Testament animal sacrifices is because of the sacrifice God made when He sent Jesus Christ to the Cross. It is not because we who claim Jesus Christ as Savior are no longer sinners but because when He died for our sin on the Cross it was a sacrifice “…once for all…”
The New Testament formula for the sin of believers is confession, repentance and faith. We admit our sinful condition … we turn from our wicked ways … we place our faith in the ultimate sacrifice.
Jesus Christ died “…once for all…”
