The other quotation is from Deuteronomy 32:36, The Lord will judge his people; he will search and try his visible church, and will discover and detect those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan; and he will separate the precious from the vile, and will punish the sinners in Zion with the greatest severity. 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. Yet it also anticipates what is to come by introducing the triad of Christian virtues, which the writer developed in chapters 11-13 (cf. 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. This He has done, and done with. The writer to the Hebrews now comes to the practical implication of all that he has been saying. (i) Sin is to trample Christ under foot. They are kept busy all day long offering one sin offering after another; one meal offering after another as the various people came in. A man can stand almost any attack on his body; the thing that beats him is a broken heart. He taketh away the first, that he might establish the second ( Hebrews 10:8-9 ). To make his point and to explain what is in his mind, Hebrews takes a quotation from Psalms 40:6-9. 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. Certain things can be repeated; but all works of genius have a certain unrepeatable quality. As the day begins, as the day ends and ever and again in the midst of its activities, we should turn aside, if only for a moment, and enter God's presence. Hodges, "Hebrews," p. 4. "Thou hast given me an open ear," means, "You have so touched me that everything I hear I obey." (1.) And I know many, many Jews that would become Christians, but they are afraid they would no longer be a Jew. If they were Abraham's children, and not his seed only, surely they would honour Him. I have no access to God. They needed to persevere, to keep on keeping on. David cried out, "Oh how happy is the man whose transgressions are forgiven. That we should consider one another, to provoke to love and to good works. Verse 36 and through the end of this chapter conclude the fourth great exhortation of Hebrews. If the law could show little mercy in such a case, the grace of God views all sin as intolerable. He taketh away the first" (that is, the law), "that he may establish the second" (that is, God's will, often unintelligently confounded by men with the law, which is here set in the most manifest contradistinction). It is wise and necessary to examine closely what they mean. But once I had made the sin and trespass offerings, then I could bring the burnt offerings.You notice the burnt offering here, and then the sin offerings. "Through faith he instituted the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. "Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience; in all things willing to live honestly. To "hold unswervingly" to this hope is to live according to it. 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. (3.) 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. Now, where there is forgiveness of these things, a sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary. He is evidently gone into the holiest of all in His own person. "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 . A high priest over the house of God, even this blessed Jesus, who presides over the church militant, and every member thereof on earth, and over the church triumphant in heaven. I am alienated from God. "This is the covenant," says he, "that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. He is warning against these things. The Day is approaching. There were in the apostles' times, and should be in every age, Christian assemblies for the worship of God, and for mutual edification. 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. Sincerity is our gospel perfection, though not our justifying righteousness. The Full Assurance of Faith. Its purpose is not . Are those two things true of you? To disregard these voices is to insult the Spirit and to grieve the heart of God. All that Christians can do in such cases is to be patient - to lie calmly in the hands of God, and submit to his will day by day, and year by year; see James 1:3-4; notes, Romans 5:4. By doing this they would do Gods will and eventually receive what He promised, namely, an eternal reward (Hebrews 1:14; Hebrews 3:14; Hebrews 9:15; Matthew 6:19). And how dreadful then will their case be! (iii) We need the memory of the end. Next the apostle, with increasing boldness, comes to the proof from the Old Testament that the legal institution as a whole was to be set aside. It is easy to laugh at men's ideals, to pour cold water on their enthusiasm, to discourage them. ], "What they had endured for Christs sake entitled them to a reward. (2.) If one lives by faith during times of duress, then he will receive reward from God. There were some sins under the law for which no sacrifices were provided; but yet if those who committed them did truly repent, though they might not escape temporal death, they might escape eternal destruction; for Christ would come, and make atonement. ", But again the solemn notice of Jehovah's oath is enlarged on. You need fortitude so that, after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. Nothing but absolute establishment of heart in God's grace could have gazed on a destroyed universe, and yet call it a "promise." It is the same Jesus who lived and died and rose again and is at the right hand of God. Ed. 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. They must draw near by conversion, and by taking hold of his covenant. The apostle takes particular notice how they had sympathized with him (Hebrews 10:34; Hebrews 10:34): You had compassion on me in my bonds. Had they been taunted with having no altar, possessing nothing so holy and so glorious in its associations? He is my mediator. ", But now, returning from this striking instance of Paul's habit of going off at a word ( ), let us resume the regular course of the apostle's argument. There is nothing to divert the heart from Christ, the great High Priest in the heavens. Therefore is it that men so naturally slip into, or rest on, second causes. They must draw near to God, and that in a right manner. Let us not abandon our meeting together--as some habitually do--but let us encourage one another, and all the more so as we see the Day approaching. A Church in such circumstances could not afford to carry members who were a bad advertisement for the Christian faith. But soon after persecutions started through their unbelieving, hardened compatriots ( Acts 8:1-3; Acts 11:19; Acts 12:1-3; compare 1 Thessalonians 2:14 ). Nor is it pleasant to nature. Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. A priest, as such, could no more draw near into the presence of God in the holiest than any of the common people. 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. (4.) Before that he served as director and teacher at Calvary Chapel Bible College, Germany, following more than 20 years of pastoral ministry. Thenceforward how it figures in the Psalms and prophets! The gracious Lord gives and designs that we should take His own place both in heaven and here. Christendom prefers the middle course; it will have neither the conscious nearness, to God, nor the place of Christ's reproach among men. ], "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." They have counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing; that is, the blood of Christ, with which the covenant was purchased and sealed, and wherewith Christ himself was consecrated, or wherewith the apostate was sanctified, that is, baptized, visibly initiated into the new covenant by baptism, and admitted to the Lord's supper. For you gave your sympathy to those in prison; you accepted the pillaging of your goods with joy; for you knew that you yourselves hold a possession which is better and which lasts. Indeed it is only the body that is here spoken of. 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. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all ( Hebrews 10:10 ). For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry ( Hebrews 10:35-37 ). Such is a main point, not ofHebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 4:1-16 only, but of the epistle. God alone who spake it into being can pronounce upon it. 10:32-39 Remember the former days. 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. (4.) God honoured the son for the father's sake. 3. It is so deeply a part of their tradition that they guard it fiercely. Best of all we can do that by setting the fine example. From the beginning to the end of it the Christian in Hebrews is not thus dealt with apart from the old nature, as we may see him regarded in the ordinary epistles of Paul, where the old and the new man are most carefully separated. (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. His faithfulness should excite and encourage us to be faithful, and we must depend more upon his promises to us than upon our promises to him, and we must plead with him the promise of grace sufficient. Search Tools. The wisest man is a fool in the sight of God; and the strongest man is weak in the moment of temptation. 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 is showing us the efficacy of Christ's death. 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. According, to the Jews it was quite impossible, if God had once established a covenant, He could ever change; but the apostle replies that their own prophet is against their theory. Thus it is evident that the introduction of the last trial of Abraham was of all possible moment to every one that stood in the place of a son of Abraham. From the description he gives of the sin of apostasy. 19 Therefore, brothers,[ a] since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance . It is continually cleansing us from all sins. We can understand, therefore, both the delicacy that thus entreated them, and the meaning of the added words, "for also in few words I have written to you." For then would they not have ceased to be offered? "For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator." First of all, it is love that calls us to the path that Christ trod; next, it is love that chastens us. To everyone it is sometimes given to mount up with wings as eagles; in the moment of the great effort everyone can run and not be weary; but the greatest gift of all is to walk and not to faint. (a) He may not go to church because of fear. "What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? There is a regulation of the Royal Navy which says: "No officer shall speak discouragingly to another officer in the discharge of his duties." But when he saw the hand of his friend Brutus raised to strike, he wrapped his head in his mantle and died. In order that in this body, He might become the perfect, complete sacrifice for man. ", This naturally leads the apostle to bring before them One that never ends "Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday, and today, and for ever." We may remember how the dying soldier lad looked up at Florence Nightingale and murmured: "You're Christ to me.". So again, as so often in the New Testament, the exhortation of patience as we wait for the coming of Jesus Christ. That is to say, let us never forget the duty of worship. He ends by asking what happens if men disregard the offer of Jesus Christ. And to this the Holy Spirit is our witness, for after he has said: "This is the covenant I will make with them after these days, says the Lord. Cease to do. First of all, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. On these things I need not now dwell farther than to characterize all, from Abraham inclusively, as the patience of faith. 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. Here observe, (1.) There is a trying day coming on us all, the day of our death, and we should observe all the signs of its approaching, and improve them to greater watchfulness and diligence in duty. The unsatisfactory Christian undermines the very foundations of the Church. THE FINALITY OF CHRIST ( Hebrews 10:11-18 ). 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. The priests under the law were to wash, before they went into the presence of the Lord to offer before him. 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. If one member of the body suffers, all the rest suffer with it. The letter of Hebrews was written to answer just that question. And observe that it is assumed to be so common and obvious a maxim that it could not be questioned. You can have Cooper's Town and everything else. You are the one that puts the ending on the story. He is everything. If you believe in Christ at all, such is your portion nothing less. All this is a gradual undermining the wall until the whole structure is overthrown. It is no definition of what it is to believe, but a description of the qualities of faith. Such is the true sense of the passage. 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. If they reject him, they can expect only judgment (26-27). He may infer that there must be; but he never can say that there is. Hebrews 3:6 b and Hebrews 10:23; and Hebrews 3:17 and Hebrews 10:26). Lectionary Calendar. All jokes aside, Hebrews 10:26 is an oft-abused scripture. For it is deeply, deeply ingrained.So the time of the writing of the Hebrews, those who had made a profession of Christ, some of them sort going back. Then you will receive all that he has promised. . To the writer to the Hebrews life was a thing that was on its way to the presence of Christ. You can see that they foreshadow Him, but they were only the shadow. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word. He had beyond all mere men known sorrow and rejection in Israel; yet he himself not only mounted the throne of Jehovah, but raised up His people to. The apostle tells us the way and means by which Christians enjoy such privileges, and, in general, declares it to be by the blood of Jesus, by the merit of that blood which he offered up to God as an atoning sacrifice: he has purchased for all who believe in him free access to God in the ordinances of his grace here and in the kingdom of his glory. In the Greek, it is present perfect tense. Hence throughout this epistle the utmost stress is laid on His being exalted in heaven Yet there was no excuse for a difficulty on this score. 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. But the apostle lets them know that if they understood their true blessing, this was the very part of it that was inseparably bound up with their present nearness to God, as set forth typically by the central and most important rite of the Jewish system. 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. It is true, He does not always call at once into the place of reproach and suffering. And it's the theme of the verse we look at this morning. 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. In the beginning ofHebrews 11:1-40; Hebrews 11:1-40 we are told what faith is. 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. That is to say, let us remember that we are Christians not only for our own sake but also for the sake of others. Jesus is the King come home, his task accomplished and his victory won. 8) but the promise of a land; but when in the land he received the promise of a better country, that is, a heavenly, which raised his eyes to the city on high, in express contrast with the earthly land. Finally, the writer to the Hebrews says that our Christian duty to each other is all the more pressing because the time is short. 37 For, "But my righteous[ b] one will live by faith. Let them not throw it away. Every night a thousand priestesses would come into the city of Corinth from the Acropolis above Corinth, the temple there of Aphrodite. Christianity does not demand the impossible; but if we were always as honest, as kind, as courageous, as courteous as we can be, life would be transformed. Those who are tempted to go back to Judaism are reminded that apart from Christs work there is no way of salvation. 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. 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. Heaven, therefore, by man's own conviction, must be arrayed in justice against earth because of sin, But the day is coming when Israel shall be no more rebellious, and the nations shall be no longer deceived, and Satan shall be dethroned from his bad eminence, and all idols shall flee apace, and God shall be left the undisputed and evidently Most High, the possessor of heaven and earth. But then comes far more definite instruction, and, beginning with Abraham, the details of faith. (See under 10:25.) Hebrews 4:12-16; Hebrews 6:9-20). Let men who can see only look there, and what will be found? It is the obedient car of which the psalmist is thinking. Those have done despite unto the Spirit of grace, the Spirit that is graciously given to men, and that works grace wherever it is,--the Spirit of grace, that should be regarded and attended to with the greatest care,--this Spirit they have grieved, resisted, quenched, yea, done despite to him, which is the highest act of wickedness, and makes the case of the sinner desperate, refusing to have the gospel salvation applied to him. Let him learn his error. 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. (3.) There is no indulgence of human curiosity. Paul writes about the peace one has with God through His grace: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. The priests stand offering sacrifice; Christ sits at the right hand of God. What it was that enabled them thus to bear up under their sufferings. 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. "God, I'll do this for You if You'll do this, this and this." If life is only a day to day doing of the routine things, we may well sink into a policy of drift; but if we are on the way to heaven's crown, effort must always be at full pitch. 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. To have enduring faith in trials, remember how God worked in the past (10:32-34). "Inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: (for those priests were made without an oath" no oath ushers in the sons of Aaron "but he with an oath by him that said as to him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) by so much was Jesus made a surety of a better covenant.". "In the volume of the book it is written of me" a book which none ever saw but God and His Son. This, managed with a true gospel spirit, would be the best and most cordial friendship. "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. We are not come to Sinai, the mountain that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and a voice more terrible than that of the elements. Click to Sign Up Now! In the volume of the book it is written of Me." Jesus Christ has made the way whereby we can come into the presence of God and fellowship with Him.And so, "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,". This was a final call; and how gracious! Anyone who regards the law of Moses as a dead letter dies without pity on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 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. Sinful man cannot be one with a holy God.Paul, writing to the Corinthians, who lived in that city that was so debauched, that the word Corinthian became a synonym for a totally debauched person. Their abject ruin placed them just in the circumstances that suited the God of all grace. For whom it may be is another thing, of which he will speak by-and-by. If it be not the truth, it would be the height of presumption indeed. Paul also reminds us that the day of the Lord is approaching, the day when Christ will return for His church and will establish His kingdom. In their own persons; they were made gazing-stocks, spectacles to the world, angels, and men, 1 Corinthians 4:9. Hence the right hand of the throne is introduced, but, besides, "of the Majesty in the heavens." The time for the proper exercise of the Melchisedec priesthood of Christ is not yet arrived. 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. And, finally, he sums up the superiority of Christ in this, that "they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: but he, because of his continuing for ever, hath the priesthood intransmissible." Have you come to mock me because of the fate that I have?" 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Jesus said, "In your patience, ye shall possess your souls" (Luke 21:19). And he is a living God; he lives for ever, and will punish for ever. Over on your left is another door, behind which are several tigers. Hence, in Hebrews 8:1-13, the apostle draws his conclusion. He uses two words to indicate what he means. 6. "Who needeth not daily," therefore says He, "as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's." Of this we saw somewhat inHebrews 10:1-39; Hebrews 10:1-39. The death of Christ is sufficient once and for all. 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. Hence He crowns the noble army of witnesses with Christ Himself. ( Hebrews 10:2 ). No doubt all will be good and right in its due season then. The happiness of the saints in heaven is substance, something of real weight and worth. Man was tried by all sorts of tests from time to time God knew perfectly well, and even declared here and there, the end from the beginning; but He would make it manifest to every conscience, that all He got from man in these His varied dealings was sin. Observe, The greatest part of the saints' happiness is in promise. In addition to giving his people the promise of his power, God demands that they exercise self-discipline and effort. [Note: Cf. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. Was this Paul's doctrine? (i) Let us approach the presence of God. camp, bearing his reproach." 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. 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. Nor does it seem so natural for any as the great apostle to inform them of his child and fellow-labourer: "Know that the brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come pretty soon, I will see you. God bless you. Up to this time man was the object of those ways; it was simply, and rightly of course, a probation. He says that they do not give a real image. Since such a way of access and return to God is opened, it would be the greatest ingratitude and contempt of God and Christ still to keep at a distance from him. 2. But over in the corner, and almost drowned in his own blood, was their beloved prince, and next to him a tiger that had been killed.They lifted him out of the pit and carried him back to town and called the best physicians in the kingdom. the Bible StudyLight org.
