INRODUCTION
The writer of Hebrews continues his teaching about the differences between the sacrificial system under the Old Covenant and the sacrifice of Jesus under the New Covenant.
Many folks have a difficult time with the book of Hebrews because it was primarily written for the Jewish people.
We might ask, If this is true, why should Gentiles take time to study something written to the Jews?
It is important because we have many today who do not believe the blood atonement of Jesus is enough to keep us saved once we invite Jesus into our hearts.
If people would study the Word rather than accepting the doctrines of men, there would be a lot less confusion, especially as it relate to being given eternal life by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
He alone was able to do what the Old Covenant was unable to do when He offered one sacrifice for sins.
JESUS OFFERED A PLEASING SACRIFICE
The Old Testament law had impressive ceremonies supported by centuries of tradition.
It preserved an awareness of divine holiness and revealed the need for atonement.
Nevertheless, the repetition of offerings and sacrifices on the annual Day of Atonement never brought the worshipers into a permanent relationship with God.
Why?
Old Testament sacrifices reminded of sin but did not remove it.
We must continually remember the Old Testament sacrificial system was a shadow of “only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things.”
Whenever the reality comes, in this instance the cross of Jesus, the shadow becomes irrelevant.
A shadow or a form can never take away sins.
Hebrews
The Old Testament Sacrificial system would have continued had the blood of animals been sufficient to cleanse the worshipers.
Hebrews 1
The Old Testament sacrifices offered a continual reminder of sins year after year.
The Bible declares the impossibility of the blood of animals to take away sins.
Hebrews
God had no pleasure in the sacrificing of animals for sins.
God’s pleasure was in the death of His son on the cross.
Listen to the prophetic words of Isaiah.
Isaiah 53:10-
Jesus offered a pleasing sacrifice to the Father because His blood accomplished what the blood of animals could not.
Hebrews 10:6
As it is written the Old Testament, Jesus came to do God’s will in dying on the cross for the sins of the world.
Hebrews
Most
Basically verses eight and nine repeat the things written in verses five through seven.
Jesus gave complete obedience to the Father during His earthly ministry.
In doing so, He took away the first covenant to establish the second.
“The only complete fulfillment of the will of God appeared in Christ’s perfect obedience.
Because we who have trusted Christ are identified with him, we also have fulfilled the will of God.
God received us on the basis of Jesus’ complete fulfillment of God’s will.
Once for all showed the finality of the transaction.”
10:10.

JESUS OFFERED A PERMANENT SACRIFICE
JESUS OFFERED A PERMANENT SACRIFICE
The priests under the Old Covenant continually offered sacrifices with no power to take away sins.
:
The sacrifice of Jesus lasted because His atoning blood offered a permanent pardon for the sins of all time.
Once Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice for sins, resurrected from the dead and revealed Himself to eyewitnesses, He ascended in to the heavens and sat down at the right hand of God.
Notice the Old Testament priests were standing while our High Priest is seated.
What difference does this make?
The priests stood to perform their duty which was never permanent.
Jesus sat down because His work was finished.
The atoning work of Jesus on the cross permanently dealt with sin forever.
Do you remember our Lord’s final words from the cross.
When Jesus said His work was finished, He really did mean it.
The present era is a waiting period as Christ anticipates a final victory over his enemies.
We have been living in this era since the time of Jesus’ exaltation to heaven.
Christ has already won the victory, but we do not yet see the complete defeat of Christ’s spiritual enemies.
Rather than complaining about the delay, we should see this time as a day of grace to allow outsiders to experience God’s mercy and forgiveness.
We have no doubt or question about the ultimate outcome.
Hebrews
Think about the effect of Jesus’ atoning work on the cross.
One “offering has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.”
Because of the atoning work of Jesus on the cross we have been set apart and declared holy.
Keep in mind, this is not due to anything we do, but because of everything Jesus did for us when He offered Himself as a sacrifice for our sins.
JESUS OFFERED A PURIFYING SACRIFICE
Hebrews 10:15
How do we learn about the things God has done for us through our Lord Jesus Christ?
Do you remember Jesus telling His disciples He must go so the Holy Spirit would come?
15
John 16:10
What is the Holy Spirit trying to teach us about Jesus in this passage?
Our experience is more than an outward one.
When Jesus comes into our hearts, God writes His laws upon our hearts and on our minds.
We are also taught God no longer remembers our sins and transgressions.
Why?
Because they are covered in the blood of Jesus.
