Partly, while you were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while you became companions of them that were so used ( Hebrews 10:33 ). For then would they not have ceased to be offered? "By faith Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than Cain.". The writer to the Hebrews makes a quotation from Habakkuk 2:3. And a thousand of them, a thousand streetwalkers in the city every night. (iii) We need the memory of the end. Consider each other to provoke each other to love, to good works, and then not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, in order that we might receive exhortation. [All that remains is] the certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries ( Hebrews 10:27 ). What they say is that God wants not animal sacrifices but obedience to his will. God furnishes the grace; you must exercise it. For this, knowing His grace in the work of Christ for them, they do not look; on the contrary, they rest in the assurance of the perfection with which their sins are effaced by the precious blood of Christ. For if he were on earth, he should not even be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was oracularly told when about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was shown to thee in the mountain. For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise. Why turn back to "meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein?". We have many duties required of us in our Christian callings, and in our particular vocation (for the honour of God, and the service of our brethren), which we have need of patience to go through (526). Holy Scripture then demanded that a man should sit down at the right hand of God. The day of execution came and she was led into the woods and tied securely to the post there in the bottom of the pit and was left to her fate.As it grew darker, she heard the crunching of gravel above her head. "It's a fearful thing to fall in the hands of a living God.". There remains, therefore, a sabbath-keeping for the people of God. 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. Thus distinctly have we set before us the general doctrine of the chapter, that Christ has suffered but once, and has been offered but once; that the offering cannot be severed from the suffering. He has shown its the symbolic mount Of grace in Zion, contrasted with Sinai the mountain of law. ", This naturally leads the apostle to bring before them One that never ends "Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday, and today, and for ever." What man could not offer, Jesus offered. It is still possible for a man to think that he is a Christian and yet abandon the habit of worshipping with God's people in God's house on God's day. 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. They would not even recognize them on the street as existing. Perfection cannot be improved upon. 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. You can't go back to the old system. He's not some senile Santa in the sky. He may infer that there must be; but he never can say that there is. So whenever you read of the Septuagint version, that is what it is, a translation by seventy scholars of the Hebrew Old Testament into Greek two hundred years before the birth of Jesus Christ.This quotation, as do others in the New Testament, come from the Septuagint version, and interestingly enough, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not," or you don't care for, "but you have prepared a body for me. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the Holy of Holies by the blood of Jesus ( Hebrews 10:19 ), I can enter in where He entered in, right in to the presence of the Father. And their relation to their leaders he puts forward in various forms. The third point is how to walk with God, and this again is by faith. Thus, before he enters on the subject of the sacrifices at length, he takes notice of the covenants, and thence he draws a conclusion from the well-known prophecy in Jeremiah, where God declares that the days were coming when He would make a new covenant. You need fortitude so that, after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. 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. We live here in a vale of misery, where we meet with a thousand petty crosses and vexations in the common road of our lives, which we have need of patience to digest; 2. So it is said here, "Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. If only we were always at our best, life would be very different. He could know nothing of the mystery of the church, Christ's body, nor of her bridal hopes; but he did look for what is called here the "heavenly Jerusalem," that city "whose maker and builder is God." The prophecies, the hopes, all prefigured there in the Old Testament.He speaks here of the burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin. Again he insists upon the honour and purity of the marriage tie, and the abhorrence that God has for those that despise and corrupt it, and the sure judgment which will come upon them. "Thou hast given me an open ear," means, "You have so touched me that everything I hear I obey." He presses them to perseverance, by telling them that this is their distinguishing character and will be their happiness; whereas apostasy is the reproach, and will be the ruin, of all who are guilty of it (Hebrews 10:38; Hebrews 10:39): Now the just shall live by faith, c. We have need of it because there is in us so much disposition to complain and repine; because our nature is liable to sink under sufferings; and because our trials are often protracted. Jesus said, "In your patience, ye shall possess your souls" (Luke 21:19). Accordingly observe the change of expression. In the Revised Standard Version, which is close to the original Hebrew, the passage runs: "Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire; Burnt-offering and sin-offering thou hast not required. God's purpose is that man should know Him, that he should fellowship with Him and that he might cooperate with God in the accomplishing of God's purposes here on the earth.Now sin creates a breach between man and God. . But they are trying to protect their national identity and they fight fiercely. His shadow was cast over the past history. That was their danger.Don't underestimate how deeply rooted traditions are, especially among the Jewish people, and even to the present day. The apostle argues that, just as the blood of the beast was brought into the holiest of all, while the body of the same animal was taken outside the camp and burnt, so this too must be made good in our portion. 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 if God has changed the heart and if His saving life is "in the vine," the person will repent, endure in faith, and bear fruit unto eternal life. with. Search Tools. Then by accident he discovered who it was who had laid information against him--it was his own son. 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 . Christians should know this in themselves, they should get the assurance of it in themselves (the Spirit of God witnessing with their spirits), for the assured knowledge of this will help them to endure any fight of afflictions they may be encountered with in this world. He describes Him thus in His judicial character. At the end of the day it is not all one for the good and the bad man alike. They were to suffer patiently their trials, looking forward to their termination; and in order to encourage them patiently to endure, he reminds them in the next verse that it will only be for a very short time. He argues that the word "new" puts the other out of date, and this to make room for a better. Observe, Wise governors should be careful to keep up the credit of their government and the authority of the laws, by punishing presumptuous offenders; but then in such cases there should be good evidence of the fact. The consequence is, that many have tried (and I remember making efforts of that kind myself, until convinced that it could not succeed) to give , in the English Bible rightly rendered "the testator," the force of the covenanting victim. That is often true of Christian life. "And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better." Then he adds: "And to myriads of angels, the general assembly" for such is the true way to divide the verse "and to the church of the firstborn," etc. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God ( Hebrews 10:6-7 ). By abandoning meeting together, believers can drift away and cease to thrive. He brings proof. Thus the only time when he comes into notice he is acting in the double capacity here spoken of: King of righteousness as to his name, King of Salem as to his place, blessing Abraham on his return from the victory over the kings of the Gentiles in the name of the Most High God, and blessing the Most High God the possessor of heaven earth in the name of Abraham. 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. Had the energetic activity of faith been first noticed, it would have made more of man; but when the heart had been disciplined in quiet endurance, and lowly expectancy from God, then he could be clothed with the energy of the Spirit. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised ( Hebrews 10:20-23 ); Notice now this new covenant: hold fast, hang on, don't worry, because God is faithful who made the promises. These two last verses bear witness to the grace of God in redemption. This was a final call; and how gracious! He rests confidingly on the cross, that only valid moral basis before God; at the same time he is waiting for the glory that is to be revealed. The Christian spirit is a sympathizing spirit, not a selfish spirit, but a compassionate spirit; it makes every Christian's suffering our own, puts us upon pitying others, visiting them, helping them, and pleading for them. Professors may go a great way, and after all draw back; and this drawing back from God is drawing on to perdition: the further we depart from God the nearer we approach to ruin. From this the writer to the Hebrews goes on to urge three things. 297. In other words, they would have done it once in Moses' day and that would have been it. Hannibal wintered his troops in Capua which he had captured, a city of luxury. In the blood of the Lamb, sprinkled on the door-posts of Israel, we see the type of God's judgment of their sins; next, in the passage of the Red sea, the exhibition of His power, which, in the most conspicuous way, saved them, and destroyed for ever their enemies. These characteristics he proves to be really found in Christ Himself. David Guzik is the pastor of Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara, California. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God." Do you not discern in this striking combination the distinctive features of Christianity? Psalms 110:1-7, which, as all the Jews owned, spoke., throughout its greater part at least, of the Messiah and His times, shows us Jehovah Himself by an oath, which is afterwards reasoned on signifying that another priest should arise after a different order from that of Aaron. Instead he exhorted his readers to endure rather than apostatize. Endurance is essential, since there must always be some waiting time before a promise can be fulfilled. Many a time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet. It did not matter whether it was a priest or an Israelite. In this passage his thoughts are going back to the grim instruction in Deuteronomy 17:2-7. it is there laid down that, if any person shall be proved to have gone after strange gods and to have worshipped them, "you shall bring forth to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones. But they are completely gone; and therefore at God's right-hand sits down He who is its witness. The second was the trespass offering where I had deliberately trespassed against the law of God. If that does not take place, then the second thing that will happen concerning your sins is that you will stand before God and be judged, and your sins will condemn you.Years ago, I was told the story of a wonderful prince, the heir to the kingdom, who had married a wife who proved to be undeserving of him and of his love. The favourite thought is "development;" and so they hold a development or genesis of matter, not a creation: matter continually progressing, in various forms, until at last it has progressed into these wise men of our day. The victory comes only to the man who holds on. That took a different type of a sacrifice. he's pointing out these offerings cannot take away sins. Because Christians are a heavenly people, and none but a heavenly Priest would suit them. There is no sanction here, of course, of the vulgar and outrageous error that pastors give an account of the souls of their flock. And during the night the tigers, drawn by the scent of human flesh, would come and devour the victims. This is the meaning of the phrase, not that He will sit there throughout all eternity. But mark another striking and instructive feature of this chapter. Having brought its to see the "church of the firstborn which are written in heaven," the apostle next can only speak of "God the Judge of all." "In those sacrifices," referring to the law to which some Hebrew Christians were in danger of going back, "there is a remembrance made again of sins every year. This was also a grand point of distinction. The writer to the Hebrews began this chapter speaking of faith in the present tense: Now faith is. 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 conviction of the writer to the Hebrews was that, if under the old law, apostasy was a terrible thing, it had become doubly terrible now that Christ had come. They were necessary to bring man into fellowship with God. He demonstrates its vicarious nature and value from the sacrifices so familiar to all then, and to the Jew particularly, in connection with the covenant that required them Now his rapid mind seizes, under the Spirit's guidance, the other well-known sense of the word, namely, as a testamentary disposition, and shows the necessity of Christ's death to bring it into force. In essence the meaning is the same. (iii) He stresses the final triumph of Jesus. Which of these two most commends itself as the unforced meaning of the passage it is for the reader to judge. But it is . If you believe in Christ at all, such is your portion nothing less. If in these two verses we bear in mind that it really means "testament," growing out of the previous mention of the "inheritance," I am persuaded that you will have better understanding of the argument. Indeed it is only the body that is here spoken of. This it was of all consequence to have stated first. Such is the emphasis. Let them not throw it away. However, the latter part of the quotation, "a body thou hast prepared me," is not as your King James reads, but this was translated from the Septuagint version.The Septuagint version of the scriptures was a Hebrew to Greek translation of the Old Testament that was made by seventy scholars two hundred years before the birth of Christ. Every now and again the writer to the Hebrews speaks with a sternness that is almost without parallel in the New Testament. Observe, The greatest part of the saints' happiness is in promise. (b) It need not be repeated. no mention of family or ancestors, "having neither beginning of days, nor end of life" neither is recorded in scripture; "but made like unto the Son of God, abideth a priest continually. (3.) Its greatest peril was from the possible evil living and apostasy of its members. There is a wholeness about the life of Jesus that perhaps we ought to give more thought. He sat down there as of His own right and title, but nevertheless making a part of His divine glory to be witnessed in, as indeed His person was necessary to make His blood efficacious to the purging of our sins. The wisest man is a fool in the sight of God; and the strongest man is weak in the moment of temptation. This baptism appears specific to John the Baptist. If, therefore, when you find the word "testament" anywhere else in the authorized version, you turn it into "covenant" in my opinion you will not do amiss. (Compare Acts 15:22.) Click to Sign Up Now! It's complete, the cleansing in the blood of Jesus Christ is complete, and the blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanses. The motive or reason enforcing this duty: He is faithful that hath promised. He does not draw attention here to the account, that there was only blessing from man to God, and from God to man. "What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? The priests must go on with their weary routine of animal sacrifice; but the sacrifice of Christ was made once and for all. In other cases the epistle to the Hebrews speaks of sanctification by God's call, and Christ's blood. Apostasy is the mark and the brand of those in whom God takes no pleasure; and it is a cause of God's severe displeasure and anger. He does not require to add more to the person and facts of Christ than the Old Testament furnishes, to prove the certainty of Christianity and all its characteristic truths with which he occupies himself in this epistle. This is natural and pleasant to the flesh, no doubt; but it is precisely what opposes the whole object of God in Christianity, since Christ went on high till He come again, and therefore the path of faith to which the children of God are called. The Old Testament is all about Jesus Christ. "As it is appointed unto men once to die," wages of sin, though not all, "but after this the judgment," or the full wages of sin, "so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;" this He has finished; "and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation." The death of Christ is sufficient once and for all. The unrent veil bore evidence on its front that man could not yet draw near into the holiest that he had no access into the presence of God. The word he uses is eikon ( G1504) , which means a complete representation, a detailed reproduction. Of this we saw somewhat inHebrews 10:1-39; Hebrews 10:1-39. Sin is not disobedience to an impersonal law; it is the wrecking of a personal relationship and the wounding of the heart of the God whose name is Father. For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. The writer to the Hebrews finishes his appeal with a threat. Jesus is the King come home, his task accomplished and his victory won. As Paul points out, Christians need patience that they may do the will of God and that they "might receive the promise." Of Christ who was given up to death, who is risen and gone above, in whom we find all the blessing promised, and after a better sort. Once Christ had come, the awfulness of sin lay not in its breaking of the law but in its trampling of the love of Christ under foot. If the one figured the imposed measure of man's responsibility, which can only but most justly condemn him, in the other we behold the mountain of God's grace after all was lost. And observe that it is assumed to be so common and obvious a maxim that it could not be questioned. You've got to come on His terms, and His terms are that you come through Jesus Christ.The Old Covenant is disannulled; it's passed away. 28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? How they had suffered. He is everything. 3. What it was that enabled them thus to bear up under their sufferings. Sin is the failure to realize the sacredness of that sacrifice upon the Cross. There is no indulgence of human curiosity. It would have been sufficient had they been able to perfect man. Our spiritual enemies will do what they can to wrest our faith, and hope, and holiness, and comfort, out of our hands, but we must hold fast our religion as our best treasure. So then I said: 'So then I come--in the roll of the book it is written of me--to do, O God, your will."' And so Paul warned the Corinthian believers concerning having a relations with a harlot. For the martyred saint's blood the earth cried to God for vengeance; but Christ's blood proclaims mercy from God, and the millennial day will be the glorious witness of its depth, and extent, and stability, before the universe. When you spread forth your hands. In point of fact the English translators did not know what to make of the matter; for they give sometimes one, sometimes the other, without any apparent reason for it, except to vary the phrase. We have just the fact of their passing through the Red sea, and no more; as we have the fall of Jericho, and no more. And what then? Compare alsoEphesians 2:1-22; Ephesians 2:1-22. The difference is very great. God never was pleased with the formal profession and external duties and services of such as do not persevere. It is not mere rebelliousness against law; it is the wounding of love. For one thing, the sacrifice of Jesus perfectly shows the love of God In that life of service and in that death of love, there stands fully displayed the heart of God. I ask my brethren here if they are looking to God strenuously, earnestly, for themselves and for their children, not to allow but to oppose as their adversary every thing that tends to weaken either of these truths, which are our highest privilege and our truest glory as Christians here below. Christians ought to observe the signs of the times, such as God has foretold. (ii) We need fortitude. It was therefore necessary that the representations of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. God brings forward His choice, David, when the miserable end of Saul and Jonathan saw the Philistines triumphant, and Israel disheartened as they had scarce been beyond that moment. [Note: Thomas, p. It is the setting aside of God, and the setting up of man; it is the precursor of the apostasy that is coming, which again will issue in man taking the place of God, and becoming the object of worship, instead of the true Creator. So far from purifying a man, they remind him that he is not purified and that his sins still stand between him and God. Of course it is true that Jesus took His seat there, but more is conveyed in the true form of the text ( ) here. They wouldn't have to offer animals every day. Let men who can see only look there, and what will be found? Had he merely referred to the covenant ( i.e. A man can stand almost any attack on his body; the thing that beats him is a broken heart. In burnt offerings [the Lord said in Psalms] and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. I mean his sins now; not sin as a principle, but in fact, though it be only for faith. "And Samuel said, has the Lord as great delight in burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? From their questions and their arguments and their criticisms he said that he had learned that "the greatest handicap the Church has is the unsatisfactory lives of professing Christians." There is then the solemn admonition of the account they are to render by-and-by. They must draw near in all holy conversation, like Enoch walking with God. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant." He says that patience is necessary, not only because we have to endure to the end, but as Satan has innumerable arts by which he harasses us; and hence except we possess extraordinary patience, we shall a thousand times be broken down before we come to the half of our course. The addition of this last clause as a necessary condition confirms the sense assigned. Thus Melchisedec, "whose descent is not of Aaron nor of Levi," like Jesus, "received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises!" 1. So the writer to the Hebrews says with prophetic vehemence: "The sacrifice of animals is powerless to purify a man and give him access to God. We can do it by reminding others of their traditions, their privileges, their responsibilities when they are likely to forget them. Hebrews 3:6; Hebrews 4:16; Hebrews 10:19). "The juxtaposition of Hebrews 10:26-35 suggests that it may have been the experience of suffering, abuse, and loss in the world that motivated the desertion of the community acknowledged in Hebrews 10:25 and a general tendency to avoid contact with outsiders observed elsewhere in Hebrews (see . For ye have need of patience - They were then suffering, and in all trials we have need of patience. Jesus alone. "But now once in the consummation of the ages," this is the meaning of "the end of the world;" it is the consummation of those dispensations for bringing out what man was. If the writers concern had been the salvation of those readers who were unbelievers, this would have been an opportune time for him to exhort them to believe in Christ. If we are ever to have fellowship with God, obedience is the only way. It cost many of them their families. (1.) He doesn't have to do it every day. The NT does not reject the notion that Christians will receive rewards, though, of course, that is never the prime motive for service." Lane entitled this warning passage "The Peril of Disloyalty to Christ." It is a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God ( Hebrews 10:30-31 ). 10:1-10 Because the law is only a pale shadow of the blessings which are to come and not a real image of these things, it can never really fit for the fellowship of God those who seek to draw near to his presence with the sacrifices which have to be brought year by year and which go on for ever. "In the volume of the book it is written of me" a book which none ever saw but God and His Son. I have no access to God. In the roll of the book it is written of me. The writer to the Hebrews has taken the words of the psalm and put them into the mouth of Jesus. But would a Jew infer hence that it was only the city of David he was speaking of? 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.
