Living in the Shadows of Tradition
1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
2 Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.
3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.
4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
heb 10:1-
Have you ever been stuck in a certain routine that you could control but couldn’t because your so used to it?
Living in the Shadows of Tradition
Many of us are caught up in a place where everybody is comfortable and most of the time we are stuck in a traditional mindset...
God never intended for us to stay in the same mindset as the good days.
Even for the most part our worship is still in the place we left it in 15 years ago

Holman Bible Handbook Christ’s Permanent Sacrifice (10:1–18)
The author explained the permanence of Christ’s sacrifice. The repetition of the sacrifices offered by the Jews on their Day of Atonement (Lev 16) could never make the worshipers perfect. Their sacrifices served as an annual reminder of the sins of the people (10:1–4)
How would you like if your annual sacrifice visit was approaching and every time it reminded you of all your wrong?
The Law Was the Shadow of Revelation. Chrysostom: For as in painting, so long as one only draws the outlines, it is a sort of “shadow,” but when one has added the bright paints and laid in the colors, then it becomes “an image.” Something of this kind also was the law. On the Epistle to the Hebrews 17.5.5
God intended for certain acts to just be a mere shadow, an outline of whats to come, but we made it permanent.
Why do we always do things out of tradition, when God never did intend it to be the solution?
