He could have written, "For you have need of regeneration." Reason is ever drawing conclusions; God is, and reveals what is. 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). You are to be one with God and if you then go out and sin you are making God a partner in your sin. The one is what may be called the objective glory; the other is the subjective condition of those that compose the bride, the Lamb's wife. (ii) We need fortitude. 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. But meanwhile, confessedly, the Spirit of God directs attention, not to the exercise, but to the order of the Melchisedec Priest. Therefore it is well to stand clear of all men's schemes and thoughts, ever rising up more and more presumptuously, because they mainly consist of some slight in one way or another on the word of God. He spoke of faith in Hebrews 10:22 and developed it in chapter 11, hope in Hebrews 10:23 and developed it in Hebrews 12:1-13, and love in Hebrews 10:24 and developed it in Hebrews 12:14 to Hebrews 13:21. He is suddenly ushered upon the scene. If one member of the body suffers, all the rest suffer with it. But the apostle takes all this difficulty by the horns, as good as telling them, that their having suffered all this was simply because it is the right road. This is just the closing practical word of the epistle to the Hebrews. I am hopelessly and helplessly lost apart from Jesus Christ. And I know many, many Jews that would become Christians, but they are afraid they would no longer be a Jew. This section is meant to inspire Christians to be confident, courageous, and uplifted in living out their faith. But it is . They have persevered through insults, violence, imprisonments and robberies, because of their confidence of a lasting reward (32-35). . But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. 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. 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. He doesn't have to be crucified over and over. 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 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. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children." But what punishment can be sorer than to die without mercy? Offering and burnt offerings and the offering for sin thou wouldst not, neither did you have pleasure therein; those things that were offered by the law. "Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience; in all things willing to live honestly. 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. 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. And so Paul warned the Corinthian believers concerning having a relations with a harlot. If it be not the truth, it would be the height of presumption indeed. In Hebrews 10:1-39 he applies the matter to the present state of the believer. He may have friends who have no use for that kind of thing and may fear their criticism and contempt. 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. 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. 806. It is a way that Christ has consecrated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh. Do not throw away your confidence, for it is a confidence that has a great reward. NASB Compact Reference Bible 9780310918868 ? Totally forgiven by your commitment of your life to Jesus Christ, or if you fail, then the death from which He died to save you will come and there will be no hope of any escape. I answer, To die by mercy, by the mercy and grace which they have despised. Every now and again the writer to the Hebrews speaks with a sternness that is almost without parallel in the New Testament. Jesus is the King come home, his task accomplished and his victory won. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. Here observe, A natural state is a dark state, and those who continue in that state meet with no disturbance from Satan and the world; but a state of grace is a state of light, and therefore the powers of darkness will violently oppose it. Further, that this Priest was to be a living one, in some most singular manner to be an undying Priest, was made evident beyond question, because in that Psalm it is said, "He testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." He ends by asking what happens if men disregard the offer of Jesus Christ. And there is no further sacrifice that can be offered, of a goat or a lamb or a calf or anything else. Through that the way was once and for all opened up for us. 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. 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. God meant to have His will done, and thereby a people for Himself capable of enjoying His presence and His nature, where no question of sin or fall could ever enter. It was accomplished in Christ, exalted as the great Melchisedec in heaven. In the time we have it is our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can. But they had to be taken care of before I could have fellowship with God. His answer is that condemnation must necessarily follow, "and so much the more because thou hast read this book." You've never understood that." When first they had become Christians they had known persecution and plundering of their goods; and they had learned what it was to become involved with those under suspicion and unpopular. (3) The Christians who received this epistle had already endured great hardship and suffering and should not throw all that away by becoming indifferent. Barrie somewhere wrote to Cynthia Asquith: "Your first instinct is always to telegraph to Jones the nice thing Brown said about him to Robinson. They wouldn't have to offer animals once a year in the Holy of Holies. He is talking about a heart that is void of hypocrisy and deceit. Then you will receive all that he has promised. So that, let the Jews say what they might, there was only found what answered to their own scriptures, and what proved the incontestable superiority of the great Priest whom Melchisedec shadowed out, and of whom it was now for the Christian justly to boast. 'It was therefore a crisis after the most painful accumulation of evils that weighed on the heart of Israel. 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. First of all, as has been hinted, that which suggests "testament" is the end of verse 15 "They which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." II. 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. 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. He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what, does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love. Have done the will of God By keeping the faith, and patiently suffering for it. He does not think merely for the thrill of intellectual satisfaction but only that he may the more forcibly appeal to men to enter into the presence of God. V. Having mentioned these means of establishment, the apostle proceeds, in the close of the chapter, to enforce his exhortations to perseverance, and against apostasy, by many very weighty considerations, Hebrews 10:26; Hebrews 10:27, c. 1. (2.) So far from that, in them there is a year by year reminder of sin. He declared, "I have come. 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. ", But again the solemn notice of Jehovah's oath is enlarged on. Now accordingly, by virtue of His death which rent the veil, God and man stand face to face. Oh how happy is the man to whom God does not impute iniquity." 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. 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? it has been said that a saint is someone in whom Christ stands revealed; we can seek ever to incite others to goodness by showing them Christ. David cried out, "Oh how happy is the man whose transgressions are forgiven. Give them a chance too. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.". Let men who can see only look there, and what will be found? First, in God's counsels it was always before Him to have One more than man though a man to deal with this greatest of all transactions. 65:17, Isaiah 66:22-24, 2 Peter 3:10-13, Revelation 21:1-7) to live with them (Hebrews 4:1-9, Hebrews 12:2-24), in all eternity in peace, love, and joy. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." At that very moment therefore the tide begins to turn. He taketh away the first, that he might establish the second ( Hebrews 10:8-9 ). Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 1:7 you became companions of those who were so treated; 34 for you had compassion on me # 2 Tim. Impossible to rise higher than the Highest, whence therefore the apostle descends, to consequences. 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. 5. It is not so much the glory of a promising start that the Lord desires as it is the glory of a faithful finish. 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. We are not men to shrink back from things and so to come to disaster, but we are men of a faith which will enable us to possess our souls. But the apostle goes farther, as indeed was due to truth. (1.) For these very features did Judaism despise the gospel. In their names and reputations (Hebrews 10:33; Hebrews 10:33), by many reproaches. The reference here I cannot but regard as exclusively to the two houses of Israel. Over on your left is another door, behind which are several tigers. He may try to be what Moffatt called "a pious particle," a Christian in isolation. Hence, therefore, he now introduces us "to the spirits of just men made perfect." And again, The Lord shall judge his people. Over a month, we're looking at verses 19 to 25. If we live by faith, and die in faith, our souls will be safe for ever. Verse 36. This was also a grand point of distinction. The hand of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. 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. If He is to be often offered, He must also often suffer. 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. (i) He stresses the achievement of Jesus. . Christians ought to have a tender consideration and concern for one another; they should affectionately consider what their several wants, weaknesses, and temptations are; and they should do this, not to reproach one another, to provoke one another not to anger, but to love and good works, calling upon themselves and one another to love God and Christ more, to love duty and holiness more, to love their brethren in Christ more, and to do all the good offices of Christian affection both to the bodies and the souls of each other. The first was the sin offering, which is sins general. and made it still more manifest and heinous. Our writer goes further--he says that all they are is a reminder of sin. ( Heb 10:29) The Mosaic covenant was ratified with blood; and with that blood both the tabernacle with all its vessels, and the people who worshipped before it, were sanctified, and set apart as holy to the Lord. For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will repay, saith the Lord. This would be a day of dispersion and temptation to the chosen remnant. Now two things can be done concerning your sins. which cleave to Christ the rejected King, and Holy Sufferer, who is now in glory above. His deliverance was strange; still more his decision and its results. Verse 37. There is no despair in "hope." In essence the meaning is the same. So you shall purge the evil from the midst of you.". NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Hebrews 10:1-10 1For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near. Hebrews 4:12-16; Hebrews 6:9-20). He shows them how necessary a grace the grace of patience is in our present state (Hebrews 10:36; Hebrews 10:36): You have need of patience, that after you have done the will of God you might receive the promise; that is, this promised reward. From this the writer to the Hebrews goes on to urge three things. The shadow, it's not the substance. It actually does mean a portrait, and would mean a photograph, if there had been such a thing in those days. This warning passage is in a sense central to all the hortatory passages in Hebrews. This leads to a further contrast with the action of the Aaronic priest. It may be observed, too, that the Holy Ghost appears but little in this epistle. It is called the Septuagint. Who was this One? It is an idea that superstition hatched, for the purpose of spuriously exalting a clerical order. Looking at Jesus, we can say: "That is what God is like." The apostle concludes with declaring his good hope concerning himself and these Hebrews, that they should not forfeit the character and happiness of the just, and fall under the brand and misery of the wicked (Hebrews 10:39; Hebrews 10:39): But we are not, c. as if he had said, "I hope we are not of those who draw back. She recognized him to be the prince, her husband that she had betrayed. Dillow, p. That is to say, let us never forget the duty of worship. 271.] It is just what he had been speaking of throughout, if covenant were still meant. On the other hand, if the medicine is ineffective, every time he looks at the bottle he will be reminded that he is ill and that the recommended cure was useless. If by five o'clock this evening you do not go to the door on your right and enter that door declaring to all within the kingdom that from now on you will be a faithful and devoted wife, then the door on your left will be opened and the death which he almost died to save you from will come upon you, and this time without any hope of escape. 129.] The battle which Abraham fought, the first recorded one in scripture, is the type of the last battle of this age. He may infer that there must be; but he never can say that there is. He will have nothing more to do with sin. For indeed He was a man as really as any other, though infinitely above man. The gracious Lord gives and designs that we should take His own place both in heaven and here. 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. 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. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word. 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. (a) He may not go to church because of fear. They knew they had possessions that no man could take away, the enduring substance in heaven. One of the highest of human duties is that of encouragement. Therefore is it that men so naturally slip into, or rest on, second causes. 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. It is what He carries on now. They were afflicted in themselves. Attention is drawn to the permanence of His position at the right hand of God. He is "minister of the holies and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not of man." In the volume of the book it is written of Me." 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." Vindictive justice is a glorious, though terrible attribute of God; it belongs to him, and he will use and execute it upon the heads of such sinners as despise his grace; he will avenge himself, and his Son, and Spirit, and covenant, upon apostates. So, this is declared of Jesus Christ. He faced it all with gallantry and emerged erect and unbroken. 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. Christianity. Nothing but absolute establishment of heart in God's grace could have gazed on a destroyed universe, and yet call it a "promise." . 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. If the law could show little mercy in such a case, the grace of God views all sin as intolerable. He brought to God for men what no man had been able to bring--the perfect obedience, that was the perfect sacrifice. He does not reason from the singular circumstance that there was no incense, any more than sacrifice. 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. Christians are one body, are animated by one spirit, have embarked in one common cause and interest, and are the children of that God who is afflicted in all the afflictions of his people. 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. "And, as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. Read xodo 40:5 bible commentary from Treasury of Scripture Knowledge by Samuel Bagster FREE on BiblePortal.com There is nothing more serious than to set grace against holiness. It was not only that there had been at the beginning such a priest, but that fact became the form of a glorious anticipation which the Holy Ghost holds out for the latter day. It is fit that believers should know the honours and privileges that Christ has procured for them, that, while they take the comfort, they may give him the glory of all. where one competent to take up that word "for ever"? We may remember how the dying soldier lad looked up at Florence Nightingale and murmured: "You're Christ to me.". 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. Nothing but stupid, obstinate, unbelieving prejudice, after the appearance of the Lord Jesus, could have suggested any other application of the Psalm. But in our way there are many hindrances and difficulties, which not only delay us, but which would also stop our course altogether, except we had great firmness of mind to pass through them. It is possible to repeat the popular tunes of the day ad infinitum; to a great extent one echoes another. Isn't that glorious? 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. Cease to do. It is very likely that the writer to the Hebrews did not know any Hebrew at all and therefore it is the Septuagint that he uses. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having a high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart full of assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 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. What comes in between the two? 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. This, however, does not mean the church, but rather the future seat of general heavenly bliss for the glorified saints. Never was there a time when men used terms with a more equivocal design than at the present moment. "By the which will" (not man's, which is sin, but God's) "we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.". "With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself. It is also founded on one of their own prophets. Where you've already had the remission once and for all, perfected in Christ, there is no need for any further offering for sin. 3:4; Heb. They are kept busy all day long offering one sin offering after another; one meal offering after another as the various people came in. Now the tone becomes bolder with them, and shows clearly that the Jew had but an empty form, a foreshadow of value once, but now superseded by the true antitype in the heavens. This deeply interesting chapter closes with the reason why those who had thus not only lived but died in faith did not get the promise: "God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect." (3.) Here, it is plain, we have the chief lineaments of revealed truth. And that is the hall of fame that I want to appear in. And for this simple reason: no place is given herein to man's importance. He that possesses the one must not eschew the other. Attack by an enemy he could bear; attack by one whom he loved killed him. Its greatest peril was from the possible evil living and apostasy of its members. The allusion in the last clause to the eternal inheritance (for everything is eternal in the Hebrews, standing in decided contrast with Jewish things which were but for a season) leads the Holy Spirit to take up the other meaning of the same word, which was and is rightly enough translated covenant. They would not even recognize them on the street as existing. To remove that threat is to emasculate the 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 alludes, in the beginning of our chapter, to the historical facts of Genesis. I should like to ask whether (or how far) all the believers here assembled can take this as their place with simplicity. In establishing of the new covenant, He has put away the first. 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. 39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved. But winter came and the campaign had to be suspended. Consequently, when He comes again to them that look for Him, it is simply to bring them into all the eternal results of that great salvation. There must be the death of him who so disposes of his property in order that the heir should take it under his testament. The burnt offerings were offerings of consecration where I would consecrate my life to God. 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. But far from this, it is the simple fact Of the gospel. Then comes a second exhortation as to their guides, or leading men among the brethren. The Day is approaching. Hey, you're not calling the shots! Hebrews 5:11-14)." If we know His perfect love and the wisdom of it, we have the best answer to silence every murmuring thought or wish of the heart. What they say is that God wants not animal sacrifices but obedience to his will. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.". But having done this, He points us to the place of Christ without the camp. First of all, it is love that calls us to the path that Christ trod; next, it is love that chastens us. As to the pathway through the wilderness, it had been disposed of inHebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 4:1-16. The apostle exhorts believers to hold fast the profession of their faith, Hebrews 10:23; Hebrews 10:23. This was a final call; and how gracious! 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. Even if the sermon be poor and the worship tawdry, the church service still gives us the chance to show to men what side we are on. Best of all we can do that by setting the fine example. Not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together,Hebrews 10:25; Hebrews 10:25. It is the assembly composed of certain individuals that make it up, regarded either as brethren, as in the second chapter ("In the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee"), or as the church of the first-born ones, as in Hebrews 12:1-29, persons who drew their title from Christ the first-born Heir.
