   *I. HEBREWS 10:1-18*

“*JESUS' SACRIFICE: LONG FORETOLD BY DAVID AND TYPE”*


 *a. 10:1 PERFECTION: NOT POSSIBLE BY “LAW” SACRIFICES*

SkiAN [4639] gar Ech*o*n ho NOmos [3551] t*o*n melLONt*o*n a-gaTH*O*N,

*For the law having a shadow of the good things to come,*

 *b. 10:2 CESSATION OF OLD SACRIFICES: REVEALS THEIR WEAKNESS*

diA to m*e*-deMIan Echein Eti suNEId*e*-sin [4893] ha-mar-ti*O*N

*because the worshipers having been once cleansed,*

tous laTREUon-tas [3000], HApax ke-ka-tha-risMEnous [2508]?

 *e. 10:5-7 JESUS' BODY: GOD'S PROVISION TO REMOVE SIN*

Di' ho ei-serCHOme-nos [1525] eis ton KOSmon, LEgei,

*Wherefore when he comes into the world, he says, *

ThuSIan [2378] kai pros-phoRAN [4376] ouk *e*THEl*e*-sas [2309],

*Sacrifice and offering you would not,*

*But a body did you prepare me;*

ho-lo-kauT*O*ma-ta [3646] kai peRI ha-marTIas ouk euDOk*e*-sas [2106]:

*6 In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure:*

*7 Then said I, Lo, I am come*

(en ke-phaLIdi [2777] bibLIou GEgrap-tai peRI eMOU)

*(In the roll of the book it is written of me)*

tou poi*E*sai, ho TheOS, to THEl*e*MA [2307] sou.

*:To do your :will, O :God.*


 *f. 10:8-9a JESUS' WILL: PROVES A SUFFICIENT SACRIFICE*

aN*O*te-ron LEg*o*n [HOti] ThuSIas [2378] kai pros-phoRAS [4374] kai
ho-lo-kauT*O*ma-ta [3647]

*Saying above [that], Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings*

*and sacrifices for sin you would not, neither had pleasure in them*

(HAIti-nes kaTA NOmon prosPHEron-tai) [4376],

*(the which are offered according to the law), *

TOte EIr*e*-ken, 'I-DOU, H*E*k*o* tou poi*E*sai to THEl*e*MA sou.

*9a then has he said, Lo, I am come to do your :will.*


 *g. 10:9b SUPERIOR COMES WHEN INFERIOR FADES AWAY*

a-naiREI [337] to PR*O*ton, HIna to DEUte-ron STEs*e* [2476].

*He takes away the first, that he may establish the second.*


 *h. 10:10 SANCTIFICATION: BASED ON SACRIFICE OF CHRIST*

en h*o* theL*E*ma-ti h*e*-gi-asMEnoi [37] esMEN

*By which will we have been sanctified*

diA t*e*s pros-phoRAS [4376] tou S*O*ma-tos [4983] 'I*e*SOU ChrisTOU ePHApax
[2178].

*12 but this one, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,*

eKAthi-sen [2523] en de-xiA tou TheOU:

*sat down at God's right:*

*For by one offering he has perfected for ever those being sanctified.*


 *k. 10:15-17 HOLY SPIRIT FORETOLD SUPERIORITY OF NEW COVENANT*

Mar-tuREI [3140] de h*e*MIN kai to PNEUma to HAgi-on;

*And the Holy :Spirit also bears witness to us;*

*16 This is the covenant that I will make with them*

meTA tas h*e*MEras eKEInas, LEgei KUri-os:

*After those :days, says the Lord:*

diDOUS NOmous mou ePI karDIas auT*O*N,

*I will put my laws on their heart,*

*e*STH*E*so-mai [3415] Eti.

*17 **And their :sins and their :iniquities will I remember no more.*


 *l. 10:18 COMPLETE REMISSION: REMOVES NECESSITY FOR MORE SACRIFICE*

HOpou de Aphe-sis [859] TOUt*o*n, ouKEti pros-phoRA [4376] peRI ha-marTIas
[266].

*Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.*



 *NOTE**: *10:1 - Not just Jews - but many Christians - Protestants and
Catholics - need to take note of this verse. Keeping rules and laws make no
one perfect. Only a personal, passionate devotion to Jesus, and allowing Him
by His Spirit to live out *His* life through us, make us acceptable to God.
It is the OT Passover fulfilled by the NT Jesus in His “Finished Work” on
Calvary, that causes us to have God's attention. OT law is but a shadow and
type pointing forward to this great NT fulfillment and event!


 10:4 - We must make no mistake. It was the blood of the sinless Son of man
and Son of God - through His human body in identification with us, that is
God's provision for sin. Liberal and modernistic theologians call this a
slaughter-house religion”. They are *wrong*! This, and this alone, is God's
provision through His Son for the Atonement of Sin. Cain tried to come
another way with bloodless sacrifices. God rejected them and accepted Abel's
sacrifices of blood. Cain in anger murdered his brother. Modernists and
liberals would like to remove all Conservative Bible believers and Bible
practicers today. In Canada, many have told me so. Just so, political
liberals would like to remove all political conservatives today - who stand
on the Constitution of our Founding Fathers - and the *Freedom* this
provides. No dictatorship. No silencing of opposition.


 10:8-9a - Jesus on His pre-existent state before His incarnation,
volunteered to take a human body, identify Himself with the human race,
recognize that we were not responsible for Adam's sin passed along to us,
but also with the Father - recognized that all members of the human race
that reject *God's way* of reconciliation with Him - *must* come by way of
Jesus' blood at the Cross, or forever perish.


 Note 10:9b especially. *God* *has taken away* the law of the first covenant
with animal blood sacrifice - and replaced it with the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus, based on *His* eternal blood sacrifice.


 See 10:11-13. Jesus fulfilled the will of the Father. He came as Son of man
for *this purpose*. When from the Cross He proclaimed, “*It is finished!*” -
the Father signified His approval by raising Christ from the dead on the
third day! No other religions has such a founder and leader! Forty days
later Jesus Ascended. The Father gave Him a Name above all Names! The very
Name of God is in Jesus' Name - “*Jehovah the Savior*!” Every knee must bow
to *this* Name. All angels worship *Him*. He is at God's right hand - High
Priest after the order of Melchizedek, and our eternal, effective
Intercessor. By His Spirit in us, *His Heredity*, He with the Spirit
intercedes through us to God the Father's glory. One day at the end of the
Millennium, when Satan is finally and fully defeated, then Jesus as Son of
man will turn all things back to the Father, that God might be all in all!


 10:15-17 - And all of this is wrought on our behalf by the New Covenant
brought by Jesus through His death, burial and Resurrection. Now the old law
that no man did or now can keep; - by the Spirit - Jesus writes it on our
minds and heart (Jeremiah 31:31-34}; and what no man up to that time could
accomplish - now Christ in us by His Spirit - triumphantly lives out His
Resurrected life through us. *Jesus* *is* our *Covenant*! See Isaiah 42:6;
49:8.


 10:18 - Never again do members of the human race need sacrifice for sin.
Jesus' once-and-for-all sacrifice at Calvary provides eternal remission of
sins. It is possible that sacrifice for teaching purposes, may be
inaugurated again - but *not* for remission of sin. There are 8 men named
before birth. Ishmael was the first - Jesus was the last. God named Him, and
told his step-father Joseph the reason for this Name above all Names! -
J.A.W.
