Day 6: High priest and/or sacrifice

In the Jewish tradition, all our sins required a sacrifice, and a priest was set apart to offer that sacrifice to God. Jesus plays both these parts. He is the perfect sacrifice, but he is also the one who offers it. He offers Himself. How can He play both roles at the same time and fulfill the requirements of each?
