I. Ineffective Sacrifices v. 1-4
I. Ineffective Sacrifices v. 1-4
(ESV)
1 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near.
2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?
3 But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Our sacrifices can’t take away sin

II. Christ’s Effective Sacrifice v. 5-10
II. Christ’s Effective Sacrifice v. 5-10
5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,
“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
This is quoted from but changed in the LXX from the MT of digging out an ear. The LXX interpreted the word picture that the Hebrew was showing with digging out an ear.
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said,
‘Behold,
I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’ ”
“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
says the Lord;
I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of well-fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of goats.
What use to me is frankincense that comes from Sheba,
or sweet cane from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,
nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.
For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice,
the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
“I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.

8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added,
“Behold, I have come to do your will.”
He does away with the first
in order to establish the second.
10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
We can only be saved by Jesus

III. Christ’s Final Sacrifice v. 11-14
III. Christ’s Final Sacrifice v. 11-14
11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,
13 waiting from that time
until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet.
14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
Jesus’ sacrifice is needed only once
Jesus’ sacrifice is needed only once
IV. The New Covenant Takes Away Sin v. 15-18
IV. The New Covenant Takes Away Sin v. 15-18
15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us;
for after saying, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,”
17 then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
These verses are quoted from
18 Where there is forgiveness of these,
there is no longer any offering for sin.
