How does the daily grain offering relate to the work of Jesus?

Leviticus 6:20 (ESV)

20 “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons shall offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

The daily grain offering of the priest is alluded to in the book of Hebrews (Hebrews 7:27). There the author contrasts the sinful nature of the priest with the sinlessness of Jesus, the Son of God. Unlike the priests who needed to present a daily grain offering due to their own sin, Jesus only needed to make one sacrifice, and that for the sins of others, not his own.
