Biblestore com. Our writer goes further--he says that all they are is a reminder of sin. The third point is how to walk with God, and this again is by faith. And for this cause he is mediator of the new covenant, that by means of death, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance." Without faith it is impossible to please God; and the stronger our faith is the more glory we give to God. Not so Moses. He presses them to persevere, from that recompense of reward that waited for all faithful Christians (Hebrews 10:35; Hebrews 10:35): Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. Their own Psalm, in its grand prophetic sweep, and looking back on the law, pointed to the place in which Christ is now seated above; and where it is of necessity He should be, in order to give Christianity its heavenly character. Apply it to Christ's death as the testator, and nothing can be plainer or more forcible. As the result of enduring the cross, having despised the shame, the word for sitting down here has a remarkably beautiful shade of meaning different from what is given in all the other occurrences. These, when convicted by two or three witnesses, were put to death; they died without mercy, a temporal death. All that I have in my relationship with God today must and does come through Jesus Christ. Accordingly it is shown that such an one becomes an adversary of the Lord, and God will deal with him as such. "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.". In Hebrews 10:1-39 he applies the matter to the present state of the believer. . (2.) He requires also profession or confession, for it is not true faith except it shows itself before men. That is to say, let us never forget the duty of worship. The apostle is dealing with the saints as to their walk; and as he had shown how Christ alone had purged the sins of the believer, and how He is on high, as the Priest in the presence of God, to intercede for them in their weakness and dangers; so now, when he is come to the question of the walk of faith, Christ is the leader of that, walk. Not of course that one denies that He has His own proper place, for all is perfect as to each person of the Trinity and all else, but never to this end. At first sight every one may have been surprised, especially those that read the New Testament in the language in which God wrote it, at the double meaning of the word which is here translated "covenant." Second, he was sure that sin had become doubly serious because of the new knowledge of God and of God's will which Jesus had brought. Patience and perseverance are nearly the same. But if so, He was the Priest after the order of Melchisedec, as well as seated at Jehovah's right hand a cardinal truth of Christianity, the import of which the Jews did not receive in their conception of the Messiah. Have you come to mock me because of the fate that I have?" "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, confessing his name. It may then be stated summarily, in few words, unless I am greatly mistaken, that the word should always be translated "covenant" in every part of the New Testament, except in these two verses; namely, Hebrews 9:16-17. Jesus said, "In your patience, ye shall possess your souls" (Luke 21:19). There is no necessity for considering anything else, but that the Spirit of God, forecasting the future, was pleased to conceal the line of Melchisedec's parentage, or descendants if any, of their birth or death. 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. It is wise and necessary to examine closely what they mean. Accordingly he now turns to set forth the contrast between the weakness and the unavailingness of the Jewish sacrifices, which, in point of fact, only and always brought up sins again, instead of putting them away as does the sacrifice of Christ. Through that the way was once and for all opened up for us. 12:4 a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while # Phil. Every man carries with him his own secret shrine, but so many forget to enter it. 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. 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). With Zion then the apostle justly begins. Those who have had and exercised much patience already must have and exercise more till they die. And the apostle would that their work of watching might be done with joy, and not groaning for this would be unprofitable for the saints. 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. [1.] Impossible to rise higher than the Highest, whence therefore the apostle descends, to consequences. Sin separates man from God. By a testament, to be sure, as every one knows. Now the apostle puts them upon observing what signs there were of the approach of such a terrible day, and upon being the more constant in meeting together and exhorting one another, that they might be the better prepared for such a day. It is easy to laugh at men's ideals, to pour cold water on their enthusiasm, to discourage them. The inheritance of eternal life is indeed certain to us, but as life is like a race, we ought to go on towards the goal. 32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; 33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. Dillow, p. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we areyet he did not sin. If you wanted to use this verse to scare people, there are a couple of angles you could take: 1. These evidently are the elders of olden times. Now the apostle, having given this general account of the way by which we have access to God, enters further into the particulars of it, Hebrews 10:20; Hebrews 10:20. iii. In truth, the substratum was the same, and therefore it was not only quite lawful so to call it, but if he had not, the design would have been marred. Every day, so long as the Temple stood, the following sacrifices had to be carried out ( Numbers 28:3-8). You that go after the tabernacle (as he persists in calling it, even though now the temple) have no title to our altar, with its exhaustless supplies. "For," says he, "there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof (for the law made nothing perfect)." All his life showed God; but it was on the Cross that God's love really was revealed. (2.) It is a new way, both in opposition to the covenant of works and to the antiquated dispensation of the Old Testament; it is via novissima--the last way that will ever be opened to men. 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. He taketh away the first, that he might establish the second ( Hebrews 10:8-9 ). We do not know the steps of His work, until we come to the preparation of an abode for man. At that very moment therefore the tide begins to turn. I should like to ask whether (or how far) all the believers here assembled can take this as their place with simplicity. 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. 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. In short, there is. "For by it the elders obtained a good report." But he offered one single sacrifice for sin and then took his seat for ever at the right hand of God, and for the future he waits until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet. He had shown the work of Christ and His coming again in glory. Think of the shaking of heaven and earth being a promise! "It's a fearful thing to fall in the hands of a living God.". But this time is not yet come. Where you've already had the remission once and for all, perfected in Christ, there is no need for any further offering for sin. The epistle sets before us the seat of glory prepared on high; the Revelation speaks of the bride represented as a glorious golden city with figures beyond nature. Then he descends to a new or fresh covenant (not , as elsewhere, but ), the recently inaugurated covenant for the two houses of the ancient people. It is perfectly true that, if we think of Christ, He was here below absolutely without sin; but He who was without sin in His person, and all His life, had everything to do with sin on the cross, when God made Him to be sin for us. Thus the Pentateuch and the Psalms bore their double testimony to a Priest superior to the Aaronic. He uses in the most skilful manner the change of the priest, in order to bring along with it a change of the law, the whole Levitical system passing away "but [there is] the bringing in of a better hope." David cried out, "Oh how happy is the man whose transgressions are forgiven. 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. 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. But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. And, (3.) (a) It could not be repeated. This one simple act to hear and or read with your heart the ospel of our Lord Jesus g Christ and That we should observe the approaching of times of trial, and be thereby quickened to greater diligence: So much the more, as you see the day approaching. Many are the troubles of the righteous. A man can stand almost any attack on his body; the thing that beats him is a broken heart. Those were now gone from the scene of their trials and labours, of "whom, considering the issue of their conversation, imitate the faith. You are the one that puts the ending on the story. (6) We are not of them that draw back to perdition but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. . 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. Lectionary Calendar. [Note: Ibid., p. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word. Observe, The greatest part of the saints' happiness is in promise. And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works ( Hebrews 10:24 ): And so that's as we're together exhorting each other for a greater love and good works. At the heart of Christianity there remains for ever a threat. None but the Old Testament saints, as a class, can all be in the separate state: not the church, or New Testament saints, for we shall not all sleep; nor the millennial saints, for none of them will die. To disregard these voices is to insult the Spirit and to grieve the heart of God. that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise: The doing and the receiving Paul speaks of here are in the future, and both require the Christians patience and steadfastness in obedience to the will of God. It is a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God ( Hebrews 10:30-31 ). "Remember the things that you endured because of your faith in Jesus Christ.". He is showing us the efficacy of Christ's death. The NT does not reject the notion that Christians will receive rewards, though, of course, that is never the prime motive for service." [Note: Morris, pp. (a) He may not go to church because of fear. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us (Romans 5:1-5). At the end of his course there was a still heavier tax on him. Never was there a time when men used terms with a more equivocal design than at the present moment. All I can say to that is, "Amen!" They felt that the people should have the Bible in a language they could understand, and so they translated the Old Testament scriptures into Greek. So little was it a question, that our Lord could appeal to its acknowledged meaning, and press the difficulty His person created for unbelief. It is a way that will always be effectual. It did not matter whether it was a priest or an Israelite. He has set His mind upon making us, patterns of His holiness. (2.) He saw his error at last, and put his seal on God's original appointment of the matter. "Then would they not have ceased to be offered?". 4. Faith puts life and vigour into them. The fact was plain that the priest was always doing and doing, his work being never done; whereas now there is manifested, in the glorious facts of Christianity, a Priest sat down at God's right hand, a Priest that has taken His place there expressly because our sins are blotted out by His sacrifice If there was any place for the priest, one might have supposed, to be active in his functions, it would be in the presence of God, unless the sins were completely gone. The communion of saints is a great help and privilege, and a good means of steadiness and perseverance; hereby their hearts and hands are mutually strengthened. Barrie somewhere wrote to Cynthia Asquith: "Your first instinct is always to telegraph to Jones the nice thing Brown said about him to Robinson. For three days he hovered between life and death. I have no access to God. Because of Jesus the barrier of sin is for ever taken away. There, is no ground, in my judgment, for the thought of anything mysterious in the facts as to his person. Nothing produces a shudder like sacrilege. Read full chapter Hebrews 10:36 in all English translations Hebrews 9 Hebrews 11 New International Version (NIV) "That is, Jesus, when He came into the world, God prepared a body for Him. Our being brought to God supposes, and is founded on the fact, that our sins are gone perfectly by His one offering; otherwise no madness is greater than indulging such a thought. 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 remains no more sacrifice for such sins, no other Christ to come to save such sinners; they sin against the last resort and remedy. This is taken out of Psalms 94:1, Vengeance belongs unto me. Its members must be loyal or nothing. You cannot come to God by the first covenant.There are always those who want to come to God on their terms. 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 priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 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. In establishing of the new covenant, He has put away the first. THE FINALITY OF CHRIST ( Hebrews 10:11-18 ). First of all, it is love that calls us to the path that Christ trod; next, it is love that chastens us. The other descendants of Abraham honoured the house of Aaron as Levitical priests; but Abraham himself, and so Levi himself, and of course Aaron, in his loins honoured Melchisedec. Only Jesus can really cleanse a man. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. (1.) In their own persons; they were made gazing-stocks, spectacles to the world, angels, and men, 1 Corinthians 4:9. What it was that enabled them thus to bear up under their sufferings. Behold, to, obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of, "Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay your vows to, "For thou bast no delight in sacrifice; were I to give a burnt, offering, thou wouldst not be pleased. Establish yourselves, for the Lord is waiting for the full fruit of harvest. Hence the apostle takes care to keep up the real link with the past witnesses for God in faith and suffering, not in ordinances. Compare alsoEphesians 2:1-22; Ephesians 2:1-22. All scripture, at its deepest, declares that the only sacrifice God desires is obedience; and in the life and death of Jesus that is precisely the sacrifice that God received. And their relation to their leaders he puts forward in various forms. Of how much worse punishment, do you think, that man will be deemed worthy who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, who has failed to regard the blood of the new covenant, with which he was made fit for God's presence, as a sacred thing, and who has insulted the Spirit through whom God's grace comes to us? Every year when the priest would go in, you'd be reminded again of your guilt and of your sin. It is by a living Saviour, who, though he was dead, is alive; and it is a way that gives life and lively hope to those who enter into it. And my just man shall live by faith; but if he shrinks back, my soul will not find pleasure in him." 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. (3.) This is the meaning of the phrase, not that He will sit there throughout all eternity. The Greek word parresia, which appears in Hebrews 10:19 ("confidence") and in Hebrews 10:35 ("confidence"), frames the section and forms an inclusio tying the thought together. The writer to the Hebrews was not saying anything new when he said that obedience was the only true sacrifice. It is not only that we believe it, but we understand it thereby. "And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better." It is an idea that superstition hatched, for the purpose of spuriously exalting a clerical order. What is the value, the import., of the sacrifice of Christ viewed according to God, and as bearing on His ways? This is precisely what modern research amounts to. Nothing but obedience could open the way to God; disobedience set up a barrier that no animal sacrifice could ever take away. No argument could be more distinct or conclusive. So, taketh away the first that He might establish the second. Therefore, don't let any man judge you in respect of meat, or drink, or new moons, or holy days or Sabbath days, for these were all a shadow of things to come, but the substance is Christ.So Christ standing here in this point in history. keystyle mmc corp login; thomson reuters drafting assistant user guide. The content of our hope is our complete salvation in Christ. The gracious Lord gives and designs that we should take His own place both in heaven and here. This was the burnt offering, and it was symbolic of just consecrating my life to God. Social snobbery is bad but spiritual and intellectual snobbery is worse. There it was written, "Lo, I come to do thy will, O God." 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. What, then, is man's actual estate? He alludes to several facts, but leaves them. It seemed as if everything went against them. He says that these things are a pale shadow. Over a month, we're looking at verses 19 to 25. They were to leave the dead to bury their dead; and they did so. I want to be listed in that hall of fame, those who believe in the promises God. The Old Testament is all about Jesus Christ. And during the night the tigers, drawn by the scent of human flesh, would come and devour the victims. Thus the power of what Christ had wrought was now brought in for future ends; it was not merely retrospective, but above all in present efficacy while the Jews refuse Christ. ], "The safeguard against degeneration, isolation, and consequent failure is to make progress in the Christian life, and to proceed from point to point from an elementary to the richest, fullest, deepest experience." That's the purpose of gathering and assembling ourselves together is for mutual encouragement, the strengthening of each other, the exhorting of each other. You can't go back to the old system. He exhorts them not to cast away their confidence, that is, their holy courage and boldness, but to hold fast that profession for which they had suffered so much before, and borne those sufferings so well. It is not the case in the epistles of James and Peter, with which so far the epistle to the Hebrews agrees. But these things were ineffective to remove the real pollution of sin. Chapter 6 warned about the consequences of falling into doubt and disbelief. They were afflicted in their estates, by the spoiling of their goods, by fines and forfeitures. But this shows the main object of the Spirit of God in directing us for the type that applies to the believer now to an unsettled pilgrim-condition, not to Israel established in the land of promise. [All that remains is] the certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries ( Hebrews 10:27 ). Sincerity is our gospel perfection, though not our justifying righteousness. Hebrews 10:19-36 Dr. Grant C. Richison The most important principle of interpretation is the context. Indeed both should die; for it usually consists of two parties who are thus bound, and therefore, were the maxim true, both ought to die, which is an evident absurdity. They needed to persevere, to keep on keeping on. The foundation is sacrifice; the Power is of the Holy Ghost. But in those sacrifices there was a reminder again made for sins every year ( Hebrews 10:3 ). We cannot receive the grace of Christ unless we have an unhesitating conviction. The Christian's present conflict may be sharp, but it will be soon over. . 6. 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. All things here are but shadows. It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." For these very features did Judaism despise the gospel. There are certain surroundings which indicate to the competent eye when the word "covenant" is right and when the word "testament" is better. Thus the first part of the chapter shows us simply what God holds out to the new man; but the epistle to the Hebrews never looks at the Christian simply in the new man, but rather as a concrete person. But would a Jew infer hence that it was only the city of David he was speaking of? And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children." There were five offerings that were made in the Old Testament. as He will appear to the salvation of His own people. Here ye must be workers together with God. Men who have seemed before to have the blood of Christ in high esteem may come to account it an unholy thing, no better than the blood of a malefactor, though it was the world's ransom, and every drop of it of infinite value. Christians must be on their guard and persistent in prayer if they are to endure firmly to the end ( Luke 21:36 ; Colossians 4:2 ). Now it is evident that in the Old Testament the distinction was not made between flesh and spirit in the way in which we have it brought out in the general doctrine of Christianity. Hannibal wintered his troops in Capua which he had captured, a city of luxury. He quotes Deuteronomy 32:35-36 where the sternness of God is clearly seen. It became God that Christ should go down to the uttermost; it became us that He should be exalted to the highest. That is still true. They must draw near to God, and that in a right manner. As Moffatt translates it: "Your words have kept men on their feet" ( Job 4:4). 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 . Before developing these, the apostle refers to the tabernacle itself in which these sacrifices were offered. Now is it an axiom, that a covenant-maker must die to give it force? with Him in this place of nearness. 806. The Jews, themselves, usually spoke the Koine or they spoke Greek, but Hebrew was only for biblical scholars. 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. He may infer that there must be; but he never can say that there is. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry ( Hebrews 10:35-37 ). By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all ( Hebrews 10:10 ). Finally, on the third day the news went out that the prince has passed the crisis and would live. He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what, does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love. The death of Christ, both in the sense of a victim sacrificed, and of a testator, though a double figure, is evident to all, and tends to the self-same point. Then we have the other patriarchs introduced, yet chiefly as regards earthly hopes, but not apart from resurrection, and its connection with the people of God here below. Every hour a bulletin went out throughout the kingdom telling of the condition of the prince as he fought the battle for life. It is that which infinitely exceeds the deliverance out of Egypt, or any ceremonial atonement ever wrought by a high priest for Israel. If you believe in Christ at all, such is your portion nothing less. It is no definition of what it is to believe, but a description of the qualities of faith.
