Those who will not enter in this way exclude themselves for ever. "This is the covenant," says he, "that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. ( Micah 6:6-8). The Jew never understood his law until the light of Christ on the cross and in glory shone upon it. Had he merely referred to the covenant ( i.e. I am made righteous through Jesus Christ. They had met that situation with gallantry and with honour; and now, when they were in danger of drifting away, the writer to the Hebrews reminds them of their former loyalty. does not express eternity (which would be , or some such form of words) but "for continuance." By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned." (b) He may not go because of fastidiousness. For there is seen not only the proof that the Messiah is the One whom God pronounced by an oath "a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec," but the glorious seat He has taken at the right-hand of God is now worked into this magnificent pleading. And is he better or safer that slights the sacrifice of the Son of God, and goes back either to earthly sacrifices or to lusts of flesh, giving a loose rein to sin, which is expressly what the Son of God shed His blood to put away? It is a trial of the patience of Christians, to be content to live after their work is done, and to stay for the reward till God's time to give it them is come. There are two kinds of sacrifice to which we are now called. Alas! For Christians the promised reward will be at Christs return, when he judges between those who persevere in faith and those who turn back (36-39). If the law could show little mercy in such a case, the grace of God views all sin as intolerable. That is still true. By faith we understand ( Hebrews 11:1 and 11:3 ). For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. It is possible to repeat the kind of poetry that is written in sentimental journals and on Christmas cards; but not to repeat the blank verse of Shakespeare's plays or the hexametres of Homer's Iliad. This leads him, from speaking of Esau's case, to add as a known fact, that afterward, when he desired to have inherited the blessing he was rejected (for he found no place of repentance), though he sought it carefully with tears. It is sinning wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, sinning wilfully against that truth of which we have had convincing evidence. This is, as is well known, the special characteristic of the millennium. There must be the death of him who so disposes of his property in order that the heir should take it under his testament. Looking up, she saw silhouetted in the evening sky not the form of a tiger, but of a man, who vaulted down into the pit. By His one offering we have been perfected forever. There is no further sacrifice. He faced it all with gallantry and emerged erect and unbroken. It was only owing to the blindness of Israel. Language Tools. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.". It is true that victims were sometimes slain in ratifying a covenant, and thus were the seal of that covenant; but, first, they were not essential; and, secondly and chiefly, , the covenanter or contracting party had in no case to die in order to make the contract valid. A lot of them had their possessions taken away, but they didn't care. We may remember how the dying soldier lad looked up at Florence Nightingale and murmured: "You're Christ to me.". As it was God's will and the work of Christ, so the Holy Ghost is He who witnesses to the perfectness of it. The world is full of discouragers; we have a Christian duty to encourage one another. That is often true of Christian life. Then you will receive all that he has promised. Those who are tempted to go back to Judaism are reminded that apart from Christs work there is no way of salvation. In heaven they shall have a better life, a better estate, better liberty, better society, better hearts, better work, every thing better. He is describing, then, the indwelling of Christ by the Spirit, the recognition of an indwelling Christ who offers to clothe himself with our personality and is prepared to live his life over again in our circumstances, right where we are. "For a testament is of force after men are dead (or, in case of dead men, ): since it is never of force when the testator liveth. It is "the blood that speaketh better than Abel." And he is a living God; he lives for ever, and will punish for ever. This they shall have at God's hand, they shall lie down in sorrow; their destruction shall come from his glorious powerful presence; when they make their woeful bed in hell, they will find that God is there, and his presence will be their greatest terror and torment. Faith, again, is the only principle of walk with God; as it is, again, the only means of realizing the judgment of God coming on all around us. And as thus were shown the people immutably blessed (for salt shall not be wanting to that covenant) in the scene that will soon come, we finally hear of the earth itself joyful in the curse removed for ever. To their astonishment, they found that the princess was in good shape, still tied in the center of the pit. The reasons will be given in a moment. The Romans will do the last sad offices. So really, you have to put the ending on the story yourself. Let blinded Jews turn their sightless eyeballs to the mountain of Sinai. He takes them into the hand of his justice; he will deal with them himself; their greatest misery will be the immediate impressions of divine wrath on the soul. But as for you who believe in Jesus, wait not for the Romans; let Judaism be nothing but a corpse, which does not concern you. You ought to have the consciousness that there is no judgment for you with God by-and-by, however truly He, as a Father, judges you now on earth. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin ( Hebrews 10:18 ). As Matthew Arnold wrote: (ii) Let us hold fast to our creed That is to say, let us never lose our grip of what we believe. The apostle now resumes his great theme, Christ called a Priest of God for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (Compare Acts 15:22.) The priests under the law were to wash, before they went into the presence of the Lord to offer before him. For, says he, "we have an altar," yea, more than that, an altar, "whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle." (6) We are not of them that draw back to perdition but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. The first covenant that God established with man is over. He knew that in Isaac his seed was to be called. Hebrews 5:11-14)." After the people had been tried and found wanting; after the priests had wrought, if possible, greater corruption; after the king of Israel's choice had reduced them to the lowest degradation. Hey, you're not calling the shots! It is a better substance than any thing they can have or lose here. Nothing but stupid, obstinate, unbelieving prejudice, after the appearance of the Lord Jesus, could have suggested any other application of the Psalm. You're trying to bargain with God or come to God on your terms, and it can't be done. But what punishment can be sorer than to die without mercy? ", But again the solemn notice of Jehovah's oath is enlarged on. He proceeds to show the Hebrews the duties binding upon them on account of these privileges, which were conferred in such an extraordinary way, Hebrews 10:22; Hebrews 10:23, c. 1. But then there are impediments as well as sin, by which the enemy would keep us from the race set before us; whilst God carries on His discipline in our favour. Here he refers to their own consciences, to judge how much sorer punishment the despisers of Christ (after they have professed to know him) are likely to undergo; and they may judge of the greatness of the punishment by the greatness of the sin. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. These two things, the cross on earth and glory on high, are correlative. But these things were ineffective to remove the real pollution of sin. Let us take an analogy. This supposes the people of God not actually settled in the land, but still pilgrims and strangers on the earth; and the epistle to the Hebrews, we have already seen, looks emphatically and exclusively at the people of God as not yet passed out of the wilderness; never as brought into the land, though it might be on the verge; just entering, but not actually entered. This statement is so much the more remarkable, because in the beginning of this epistle he had pointed out what became God. If only we were always at our best, life would be very different. 1:16 in my chains, and # Matt. "He suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust," says another apostle, "that he might bring us" not to pardon, nor to peace, nor to heaven, but "to God." In their own persons; they were made gazing-stocks, spectacles to the world, angels, and men, 1 Corinthians 4:9. Oh how happy is the man to whom God does not impute iniquity." For by one offering he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified ( Hebrews 10:13-14 ). The content of our hope is our complete salvation in Christ. Man was tried by all sorts of tests from time to time God knew perfectly well, and even declared here and there, the end from the beginning; but He would make it manifest to every conscience, that all He got from man in these His varied dealings was sin. After the Babylonian captivity, the Hebrew language was almost dead. How can such a consciousness as this be the portion of the Christian? David cried out, "Oh how happy is the man whose transgressions are forgiven. It is once and for all. This leads to another point; for the change of the priesthood imports a change of the law. And what then? I am alienated from God. The millennial day will see this. For you had compassion of me and in my bonds, and you took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance ( Hebrews 10:34 ). The scholarly Bloomfield, writing on the importance of patience, says: 1. But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions ( Hebrews 10:32 ); Remember what you went through in the beginning of your faith. . He is my sin offerer. So I don't know how we can do any more than we are every night of the week around here and during the day, but anyhow . The rest of the chapter brings in, accordingly, the closing scene, when the Lord comes to shake everything, and establish that blessed day. He acted in faith, not policy. Others doubtless could speak of their Ararat, their Olympus, their Etna; but which boasted of the true God that loved His people in the way that Zion could? Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God." If life is only a day to day doing of the routine things, we may well sink into a policy of drift; but if we are on the way to heaven's crown, effort must always be at full pitch. Christ Himself could not add to the perfectness of that sacrifice by which He has put away sin. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompence of reward. They may enter into the gracious presence of God in his holy oracles, ordinances, providences, and covenant, and so into communion with God, where they receive communications from him, till they are prepared to enter into his glorious presence in heaven. How easily we even forget that we are not Jews but Christians! This blood, being sprinkled on the conscience, chases away slavish fear, and gives the believer assurance both of his safety and his welcome into the divine presence. The value of the studying of Leviticus and the studying of the law, to the Christian, is that it foreshadows the work of Jesus Christ, the offering of Jesus Christ, and the high priestly nature of Jesus Christ. "Who needeth not daily," therefore says He, "as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's." Instead of pining after that which is about to be destroyed, or repining at the call to go out to the place of Christ's shame on earth, Christianity, which replaces Judaism now, may well cause us to offer "the sacrifice of praise to God continually." Now, this judgment and fiery indignation is going to take place, much of it, during the Great Tribulation. (1.) Observe here, What will be the eternal misery of impenitent sinners and apostates: they shall fall into the hands of the living God; their punishment shall come from God's own hand. Anyone who regards the law of Moses as a dead letter dies without pity on the evidence of two or three witnesses. God can strengthen his suffering people with all might in the inner man, to all patience and long-suffering, and that with joyfulness, Colossians 1:11. 2. Earlier verses completed a long, detailed explanation of why the new covenant is superior to the old covenant. So the encouragement is to hold fast the profession; don't waiver. The sacrifice of Jesus was made once and is effective for ever; the animal sacrifices of the priests must be made over and over again, and even then they are not effective in any real way. Before the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle hung the veil to screen off the presence of God. That can't be. Grace be with you all. But this becomes the occasion of a remarkable allusion, on which I must for a moment dwell. How they had suffered. The writer to the Hebrews was not saying anything new when he said that obedience was the only true sacrifice. It ( ) means "testament" as well as "covenant." The fact is, that love of uniformity may mislead some, as love of variety misled our English translators too often. iii. What man could not offer, Jesus offered. For you gave your sympathy to those in prison; you accepted the pillaging of your goods with joy; for you knew that you yourselves hold a possession which is better and which lasts. Unlike others in Genesis, neither parents are recorded, nor is there any hint of descent from him. 5 . The victory comes only to the man who holds on. He necessarily completes all as the pattern for the Christian. But we are not of those who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul ( Hebrews 10:38-39 ). And to this the Holy Spirit is our witness, for after he has said: "This is the covenant I will make with them after these days, says the Lord. Over a month, we're looking at verses 19 to 25. He will have nothing more to do with sin. The cynical voices may try to take our faith away; the materialist and his arguments may try to make us forget God; the events of life may conspire to shake our faith. It may be observed, too, that the Holy Ghost appears but little in this epistle. Are those two things true of you? The first chapters of Acts describe that thousands of Jews came to believe. For let me say this as a parting word, and I say it advisedly, because of circumstances that might well be before our hearts, no deliverance, however enjoyed, no place of death to law, world, or sin, no privilege of union with Christ, will enable a soul to dispense with the truths contained in this epistle to the Hebrews. before God on high? We belong to the holiest of all, and we act upon it, if we iet rightly, when we worship God; nay, when we draw near to God in prayer at all times. From henceforth [or from now on] just waiting until his enemies be made his footstool. Esau would have liked well to have got or regained the blessing; but this was given of God otherwise, and he had forfeited it himself. Where could they find such a Priest? He may be ashamed to be seen going to church. You cannot come to God by the first covenant.There are always those who want to come to God on their terms. ( Hosea 6:6). But the answer to this is, that there is not a single writer in the language, not sacred only but profane, who employs it in such a sense. The father of the faithful was the one first called out by promise. This one simple act to hear and or read with your heart the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and believe and trust you will receive the gift of faith that comes from God our Father (Romans 10:17 There were five offerings that were made in the Old Testament. We do not know the steps of His work, until we come to the preparation of an abode for man. The great exposition of Christ as priest and sacrifice is thus framed by parallel parenetic units . They were dead. He is labouring for this, and with divine skill accomplishes it, by the testimonies of their own law and prophets. Brought nigh to God by the blood of Jesus, we have perfect access, so that there is nothing between God and us; for Christ suffered once to bring us to God, as He intercedes that we may have communion. What it was that enabled them thus to bear up under their sufferings. Now those who know him who hath said, Vengeance belongeth to me, I will recompense, must needs conclude, as the apostle does (Hebrews 10:31; Hebrews 10:31): It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. "Promise" (epaggelia) refers to "the blessing promised by my Father" (Thayer 227), that is, eternal life in heaven with all the blessings associated with it. The first is, that in spirit the Christian is now brought by redemption, without spot or guilt, into the presence of God. Sinful man cannot have fellowship with a holy God. He is evidently gone into the holiest of all in His own person. They could not deny it to be written in the fortieth psalm. Actually, the families would hold funerals for them. Shall I give my, first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin, of my soul?" The real presumption, therefore, is to pretend to be a Christian, and yet to doubt the primary fundamental truth of Christianity as to this. Please feel free to link to pages on this site, but do not copy articles without authors' permission. But having looked up to Him who is above all, he speaks of the highest group next to God in His judicial character, namely, the Old Testament saints. Therefore his sacrifice cannot and need not ever be made again. It is the purpose of God that man should fellowship with Him. He sees that duty extend in three directions. Hebrews 10:36, NLT: Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Look unto Jesus. When he punishes them by creatures, the instrument abates something of the force of the blow; but, when he does it by his own hand, it is infinite misery. For if they could have been perfect sacrifices that had put away the sins then would they not have ceased to be offered? (iii) He stresses the final triumph of Jesus. Again and again the High Priest bathed himself in the laver of clear water. Another point follows, connected with what we have had before us, and demanding our attention. The sin here mentioned is a total and final apostasy, when men with a full and fixed will and resolution despise and reject Christ, the only Saviour,--despise and resist the Spirit, the only sanctifier,--and despise and renounce the gospel, the only way of salvation, and the words of eternal life; and all this after they have known, owned, and professed, the Christian religion, and continue to do so obstinately and maliciously. If he thinks that the Church has faults, it is his duty to come in and help to mend them. This is the meaning of the phrase, not that He will sit there throughout all eternity. There were in the apostles' times, and should be in every age, Christian assemblies for the worship of God, and for mutual edification. It owns the creation; it recognizes sacrifice as the only righteous means of being accepted with God the only means of approaching Him worthily. I speak, of course, of our entrance there only in spirit. The day of the Lord will come. Such was the Priest of whom God spoke. Then, having finished this part of the subject, the apostle turns to another characteristic in believers the mighty power of faith which knows how to draw on God, and breaks through all difficulties. They do not belong to heaven like the angels; but God had an eternal purpose, which brought them by an extraordinary favour there. He is the same unchangingly and evermore, as He has ever been. Totally forgiven through Him, accepting this new covenant that God has established, your sins are completely put away. It is Jesus Christ and him crucified for the forgiveness of sins who will save those who believe and repent, and who will return again in glory to judge the living and the dead. Theirs is the position of a servant; his is the position of a monarch. "And Samuel said, has the Lord as great delight in burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? And a thousand of them, a thousand streetwalkers in the city every night. Paul tells us this in Colossians, chapter 2, where Christ through His death blotted out the handwriting and the ordinances that were against us, nailing them to His cross and triumphing over them in it. It is an enduring substance, it will out-live time and run parallel with eternity; they can never spend it; their enemies can never take it from them, as they did their earthly goods. (i) We must spur each other to noble living. With a true heart, without any allowed guile or hypocrisy. "Every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of God." The sin here mentioned is a total and final falling away, when men, with a full and fixed will and resolution, despise and reject Christ, the only Saviour; despise and resist the Spirit, the only . You are the one that puts the ending on the story. As far as the soul is concerned, Christ would not go up to heaven until sin was abrogated before God.

His purpose utterly failed to secure the blessing for his profane but favourite son. He has so absolutely swept it away for those who believe on Him, that when He comes again, them will be no question of judgment, as far as they are concerned, but only of salvation, in the sense of their being cleared from the last relic or result of sin, even for the body. A man is ill. A bottle of medicine is prescribed for him. If God's word be true, and to this the Spirit adheres, the blood of Christ has thus perfectly washed away the sins of the believer. These characteristics he proves to be really found in Christ Himself. You could use this verse to present a "balanced" view of God, like this: "He is a God of grace and He is a God of judgment. 10:11-18 Again, every priest stands every day engaged upon his service; he stands offering the same sacrifices over and over again, and they are sacrifices of such a kind that they can never take away sins. III. He is only one of a series of existing objects, and consequently never can rise above that in his own nature. He may try to be what Moffatt called "a pious particle," a Christian in isolation. In effect he is saying: "Without Christ you cannot get beyond the shadows of God.". And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. Remember how, after you had been enlightened, you had to go through a hard struggle of suffering, partly because you yourselves were held up to insult and involved in affliction and partly because you had become partners with people whose life was like that. The text explains wherein consists the perpetual efficacy of Christ's sacrifice, and the reason why it needs no repetition while the world lasts. 11.]. And, (3.) The lamb will do nothing. So the reason why God is waiting and delaying the coming of Jesus Christ is to give opportunity for others to come on into the kingdom. For assuredly if Jewish children honoured their father and mother on legal grounds, much more ought Christian children on grounds of grace. I am accepted in Jesus Christ. He has not been of by the reader before; he is never heard of again in history. The last chapter (Hebrews 13:1-25) follows this up with some practical exhortations as to brotherly love continuing; then as to kindness to strangers, or hospitality; finally, as to pity for those in bonds. They were afflicted in themselves. InHebrews 1:1-14; Hebrews 1:1-14 it is written, that "having by himself made purification of our sins, he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." I've consecrated my life and my service to God, and now I come into oneness with God and I offer the peace offering. And my just man shall live by faith; but if he shrinks back, my soul will not find pleasure in him." He who, having professed to value the blessing of God abandons it, and rushes here below into the sins of the flesh knowingly and deliberately, is evidently no Christian at all. Obviously far more people in the ancient world read Greek than Hebrew. For although outwardly, no doubt, the prosperity lasted in the time of Solomon, it was mainly the fruit of David's suffering, and power, and glory. All the effort of Christendom is first to deny the one, and then to escape from the other. But even the apostle felt his own need of the prayers of the faithful, not because he had gone wrong, but because he was conscious of no hindrance to his work from a had conscience. Jesus said, "In your patience, ye shall possess your souls" (Luke 21:19). We are those that believe to the salvation of our souls.Now the just shall live by faith, and as we go into chapter 11, we're going to get the hallmark of faith, the hall of fame for those who believe. But the apostle goes farther, as indeed was due to truth. Plug in, Turn on and Be En light ened! Some think this refers to the dreadful destruction of the Jewish church and state; but certainly it refers also to the utter destruction that awaits all obstinate apostates at death and judgment, when the Judge will discover a fiery indignation against them, which will devour the adversaries; they will be consigned to the devouring fire and to everlasting burnings. Eliphaz unwillingly paid Job a great tribute. Will the Lord be pleased with thousands, of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? But once I had made the sin and trespass offerings, then I could bring the burnt offerings.You notice the burnt offering here, and then the sin offerings. (ii) Jesus is the High Priest over God's house in the heavens. All that we can expect is to wait in terror for judgment and for that flaming wrath which will consume the adversaries of God. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." In the Greek, it is present perfect tense. This, he says, must be from a father who loves his true and faulty children: others enjoy no such care. And this blessed person, single-handed but according to the will of God, accomplishes that will in offering Himself on the cross. They may be in neighbourhoods where the social status has come down; and the members who have remained faithful to them would be as much embarrassed as delighted if the poor people in the area came flooding in. Every hour a bulletin went out throughout the kingdom telling of the condition of the prince as he fought the battle for life. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very substance of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect ( Hebrews 10:1 ). that after ye have done the will of God: there is the purposing will of God, which is done by himself; and there is his revealed will, touching the salvation of men, which is done by his Son; and there is his will of precept to be done by men; and which, when done aright, is done according to the rule of his word, in faith, from love, through the strength of Christ, and by the assistance of his Spirit and grace, with a view to his glory, and without any dependence on what is done: and the will of God regards suffering, as well as doing; for to that the saints are also called, to which patience is necessary: ye might receive the promise; that is, of eternal life; not the promise itself, which they had received already, but the thing promised; which is the sense, in which this word is often used in this book, Hebrews 6:12 which is so called, to show that it is not of works, for promise and merit do not agree together; but that it is of grace, and will certainly be enjoyed, but must be patiently waited for.
