The end of the chapter reminds us that faith is and it is for we who follow in the footsteps of the faithful men and women of previous ages. I. We are beset, surrounded with a world of temptations, assaulting us within and without, which we have need of patience to withstand; 3. 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. 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. 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. "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." Although the blood on which that covenant was founded may be now long shed, when the covenant comes into force for them will it not be as fresh as the day the precious Victim died and shed His blood? "Conscience of sins" means a dread of God's judging one because of his sins. Verse 39. They were to leave the dead to bury their dead; and they did so. God alone who spake it into being can pronounce upon it. 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 ). That can't be. 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. It was not so of old, when the Israelite brought his goat or calf. We cannot receive the grace of Christ unless we have an unhesitating conviction. At that very moment therefore the tide begins to turn. 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. (2) Willful sin shall certainly result in eternal destruction. This is the greatest truth of Christian faith. And now a tiger, drawn by the scent of human flesh, circling the pit, and then the fast footsteps as it approached and leaped into the pit. In the first chapter we saw the seat of personal glory connected with atonement; in the eighth chapter it is the witness of His priesthood, and where it is. camp, bearing his reproach." What a surprise to the Hebrew believers to find such truths as these so strikingly shown out in type even in the Jewish system! The veil is rent: the believer can draw near, as is shown in the next chapter; but meanwhile it is merely pointed out that there is no veil now, eternal redemption being obtained. 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." How easily we even forget that we are not Jews but Christians! Let us hold fast the profession of our hope [for so it should be] without wavering (for he is faithful that promised); and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 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." ", Finally, he beseeches his brethren to hear the word of exhortation. And they baked it into bread and offered it unto God.Finally, I could offer the peace offering, which was communion. 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. The word he uses is eikon ( G1504) , which means a complete representation, a detailed reproduction. (196) This then is the only way or means by which we can firmly and constantly advance; we shall not otherwise obey God, nor even enjoy the promised inheritance, which is here by metonymy called the promise. "There was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called holy. . In this phrase there is no allusion whatever to the church; nor indeed anywhere in the Hebrews is there any reference to its distinctive portion in union with its Head. There is something unrepeatable about any great work. 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. he's pointing out these offerings cannot take away sins. In my judgment it is correct to translate it both ways, never arbitrarily, but according to context. There had been a time when those to whom this letter was written had been up against it. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised. We hear first of Melchisedec (King of righteousness), next of Salem or peace; without father, without mother, without genealogy. (i) Jesus is the living way to the presence of God. It is sui generis; it is one of these masterpieces which can never be done again. Without Him I have nothing. Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, a. From henceforth [or from now on] just waiting until his enemies be made his footstool. There were in the apostles' times, and should be in every age, Christian assemblies for the worship of God, and for mutual edification. (i) We need to keep our hope before us. Now this was under the old covenant, and had it been effective, once being cleansed, they should have no more conscience of sins. The severest and final trial of Abraham's faith was giving up the son, in whom all the promises were infolded, to receive him back on a resurrection ground in figure. What fellowship hath light with darkness? The Lord has waited, but the days of waiting are almost over. It is not only that we believe it, but we understand it thereby. Our way to heaven is by a crucified Saviour; his death is to us the way of life. And observe that it is assumed to be so common and obvious a maxim that it could not be questioned. 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. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is witness to us: for after he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their hearts, and their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more ( Hebrews 10:15-17 ). This new covenant is predicated upon the promises of God, and God is faithful who has made these promises to you. From this practical lessons of great value are drawn. There were five offerings that were made in the Old Testament. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. [Note: Cf. For we know who it was who said: "Vengeance belongs to me; it is I who will repay," and again: "The Lord will judge his people." He always keeps up the evidence of the utter inferiority of the Jewish priest, as well as of the accompanying state of things, to that of Christianity. Now, in looking at these words, two things are noteworthy. . The reason is obvious because he is caused himself. There is no sanction here, of course, of the vulgar and outrageous error that pastors give an account of the souls of their flock. But they are trying to protect their national identity and they fight fiercely. Such is pre-eminently the bearing of this epistle to those who had no such frequent opportunities of profiting by his teaching as the Gentile churches. I've consecrated my life and my service to God, and now I come into oneness with God and I offer the peace offering. To exhort one another, to exhort ourselves and each other, to warn ourselves and one another of the sin and danger of backsliding, to put ourselves and our fellow-christians in mind of our duty, of our failures and corruptions, to watch over one another, and be jealous of ourselves and one another with a godly jealousy. So little was it a question, that our Lord could appeal to its acknowledged meaning, and press the difficulty His person created for unbelief. He has nothing more to do with sin; He will judge man who rejects Himself and slights sin. After the Babylonian captivity, the Hebrew language was almost dead. It is possible that the word "worlds," which is a Hebraistic word, belonging to the Alexandrian Jews particularly, may embrace dispensations; but undoubtedly the material world is included in it. This is a different way of looking at His session there. Verse 36 and through the end of this chapter conclude the fourth great exhortation of Hebrews. Finally, the writer to the Hebrews says that our Christian duty to each other is all the more pressing because the time is short. All that I have in my relationship with God today must and does come through Jesus Christ. God honoured the son for the father's sake. If you say," For where a covenant is, there must also of necessity be the death of the covenanter" the person. Every night a thousand priestesses would come into the city of Corinth from the Acropolis above Corinth, the temple there of Aphrodite. He presses them to perseverance by putting them in mind of their former sufferings for Christ: But call to mind the former days, in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great fight of afflictions,Hebrews 10:32; Hebrews 10:32. Here the apostle sets forth the dignities of the gospel state. 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. It is wise and necessary to examine closely what they mean. And again, pointing not to our faithfulness, but the faithfulness of God. It meant that a man was taking something dear to him and giving it to God to show his love. I may, of course, see what is before my eyes, and. 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. "Into the second [goes] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way of the holies was not yet made manifest, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing: which is a figure for the present time according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not, as pertaining to the conscience, make him that did the religious service perfect; which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation." It became God that Christ should go down to the uttermost; it became us that He should be exalted to the highest. 2. That after ye have done the will of God - That is, in bearing trials, for the reference here is particularly to afflictions.Ye might receive the promise - The promised inheritance or reward - in heaven. 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. THE MEANING OF CHRIST FOR US ( Hebrews 10:19-25 ). It is the conflict which introduces the reign of peace founded on righteousness, when God will manifest Himself as the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth. Don't you see what a sacred thing it is?" In short, the word in itself may mean either; but this is no proof that it may indifferently or without adequate reason be translated both ways. They from Italy salute you. If we are ever to have fellowship with God, obedience is the only way. Another point follows, connected with what we have had before us, and demanding our attention. On the other hand it is notoriously true, that in no case can a testament come into execution without the testator's death a figure that every man at once discerns. The reference is therefore plain and sure. Accordingly we have a remarkable line of blessing pursued for our instruction here. He currently serves now as the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara. It is once and for all. Holy Scripture then demanded that a man should sit down at the right hand of God. 6. Faith brings God into everything. Only Jesus can really cleanse a man. Thus in every case it is faith. For Christ is not entered into holies made with hands, figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us.". He faced it all with gallantry and emerged erect and unbroken. Such is the emphasis. "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. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. There is an appointed time for both, and beyond that time he will not tarry, Habakkuk 2:3. This proves that the city of the heavenly Jerusalem does not mean the church, because here they are certainly distinguished from each other, which therefore completely settles all the argument that is often founded on Abraham's looking for a heavenly city. This shows that, beyond question, among the Jews of that day, Psalms 110:1-7 was understood to refer to the Christ alone. Hebrews 10:23-25 23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. I refer to the fact just to exemplify on the one hand the true bearing of the epistle, and what I believe will be discovered in it, and on the other hand to guard against the mistake of importing into it, or trying to extract from it, what is not there. He is talking about a heart that is void of hypocrisy and deceit. The Christian's present conflict may be sharp, but it will be soon over. may so far have sensible evidence of what exists now; but it is only God who can tell me that He in the beginning caused to be that which now is. But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. How much worse will be the punishment of those who have experienced the grace of God through Christ, yet deliberately reject and disown it (28-31).The writer encourages his readers not to forsake Christ, by reminding them of what they have suffered for his sake. As it was God's will and the work of Christ, so the Holy Ghost is He who witnesses to the perfectness of it. 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. He is not simply a saint who lived a lovely life; not simply a martyr who died an heroic death; not simply a risen figure who returned to company with his friends. He sits there not merely as the proof of the perfectness with which He has purged our sins by Himself alone, but as the Priest; and accordingly it is not merely said "on high," but "in the heavens." A. You are to be one with God and if you then go out and sin you are making God a partner in your sin. Christians ought to value their reputation; and they do so especially because the reputation of religion is concerned: this makes reproach a great affliction. Here it is the grand truth itself in its own character. Thither they are to be brought, and there are means for the road to keep us moving onward. This section is meant to inspire Christians to be confident, courageous, and uplifted in living out their faith. (6) We are not of them that draw back to perdition but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. At the end of the day it is not all one for the good and the bad man alike. Hebrews 10:36-39. The Jews themselves acknowledge that Psalms 110:1-7 must be fulfilled in Christ, in His quality of Messiah. As he exhorts here the Jews to persevere, he mentions hope rather than faith; for as hope is born of faith, so it is fed and sustained by it to the last. This We Know to Be the Carnal Israel: Circumcision and the Erotic Life of God and Israel (Critical Inquiry 18). I give Him His portion to eat, the best part of it, being a gracious host, and I then partake of the rest and we eat together. And it seems even in those times there were some who forsook these assemblies, and so began to apostatize from religion itself. (3.) [ k] In Hebrews 10:1-39 he applies the matter to the present state of the believer. Anyone who regards the law of Moses as a dead letter dies without pity on the evidence of two or three witnesses. All that we can expect is to wait in terror for judgment and for that flaming wrath which will consume the adversaries of God. They really mar the sense, because they draw attention not to the truth in itself so much as its application to us, which is not the point in Hebrews 9:1-28, but rather ofHebrews 10:1-39; Hebrews 10:1-39. The intention here was not to dwell either on the scene in which their waiting was put to the test, the wilderness, or on anything that could insinuate the settled position of Israel in the land. Then comes forth the wondrous counsel that was settled before either the sin of man, or the promises to the fathers, or the law which subsequently put man to the test. "Remember the things that you endured because of your faith in Jesus Christ.". You, as a Christian, ought to have the calm settled consciousness that God, looking on you, discerns not one spot or stain, but only the blood of Jesus Christ His Son that cleanses from all sin. When they had suffered: In former days, after they were illuminated; that is, as soon as God had breathed life into their souls, and caused divine light to spring up in their minds, and taken them into his favour and covenant; then earth and hell combined all their force against them. They were to be cut off. It is easy to laugh at men's ideals, to pour cold water on their enthusiasm, to discourage them. "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp." 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. 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. None but a heavenly Priest would suffice for the counsels He has in hand. The grounds why Canaan could not consistently be made prominent in this epistle as a present thing, but only as a hope, we have already seen. Where you've already had the remission once and for all, perfected in Christ, there is no need for any further offering for sin. Its force implies that it is not merely what He did once, but what He is also doing still. It only covered their sins. He goes out, deliberately and knowingly, just at the time of life when a man is most sensitive to the value of a grand sphere of influence, as well as exercise of his powers, wherein, too, he could have ordinarily exerted all in favour of his people. The veil in the tabernacle and temple signified the body of Christ; when he died, the veil of the temple was rent in sunder, and this was at the time of the evening sacrifice, and gave the people a surprising view into the holy of holies, which they never had before. It seemed as if everything went against them. [Note: Thomas, p. Read full chapter Hebrews 10:36 in all English translations Hebrews 9 Hebrews 11 New International Version (NIV) He may infer that there must be; but he never can say that there is. 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. He knew that in Isaac his seed was to be called. 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. The greater part of the affections of the Christian are drawn out toward our Saviour by all this scene of sin and sorrow through which we are passing on to heaven. 297. 11.]. Thus does the apostle reason on it: "For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh" (which the Jew would not contest): "how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to do religious service to the living God? Therefore all such recurring sacrifices only call sins to remembrance; but what the blood of Christ has done is so completely to blot them out, that God Himself says, "I will remember them no more. 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." Every change of mind is far from being repentance, which doctrinally means that special and profound revolution in the soul when we take God's part against ourselves, judging our past ways, yea, what we are in His sight. What it was that enabled them thus to bear up under their sufferings. (3) The Christians who received this epistle had already endured great hardship and suffering and should not throw all that away by becoming indifferent. True belief is shown by the way in which one lives. (ii) We must worship together. There is nothing here below so difficult for the natural mind; and for the simple reason that man can never rise above that which is caused. Do not throw away your confidence, for it is a confidence that has a great reward. This leads into the life of faith, which was a great stumbling-block to some of these Christian Jews. The manner in which scripture introduces him is such as to furnish a very striking type of Christ. ", Having laid this as the first application of faith, the next question is when man fell, how was he to approach God? May you be blessed of the Lord and strengthened in every good work for the glory of Jesus Christ. ", But again the solemn notice of Jehovah's oath is enlarged on. The Holy Spirit speaks within us, telling us what is right and wrong, seeking to check us when we are on the way to sin and to spur us on when we are drifting into lethargy. There it was more particularly the activity of faith; here it is the suffering of faith. He is everything. But the Holy Ghost's testimony is not forgotten. (See under 10:25.) 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. 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. The writer to the Hebrews was not saying anything new when he said that obedience was the only true sacrifice. 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. Those who will live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution. You're in no position to call the shots. There, is no ground, in my judgment, for the thought of anything mysterious in the facts as to his person. Before Jesus came, there was no question of it among the Jews. Here, too, he begins to introduce what a. priest does, that is, the exercise of his functions. I want to be listed in that hall of fame, those who believe in the promises God. He alludes to several facts, but leaves them. . 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. It is a better substance than any thing they can have or lose here. Therefore his sacrifice cannot and need not ever be made again. Viewed from the perspective of the homiletical and literary structure of Hebrews, this concluding exhortation is symmetrical with the preliminary exhortation found in Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20 . There in the darkness a fierce battle ensued, until finally the princess could hear the death throes as the last bit of life was leaving, and then just the dripping of blood.As it became daylight, the men from the city came to take the remains of the princess and bury them. 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. We hold this in the face of difficulties, doubts, and discouragements. The hill of Zion up to this time had been the constant menace of the enemy against the people of the Lord; but in due time, when David reigned, it was wrested out of the hands of the Jebusites, and became the stronghold of Jerusalem, the city of the king.
