Purpose of Book
Christ, who has accomplished salvation through His atoning sacrifice, is greater than all things; therefore, persevere in true faith and encourage others to do likewise
Main Point
The priestly work of Christ, which is far greater than the Old Mosiac Covenant, not only secures salvation in the present, but also provides eschatological deliverance
Hebrews 9:23-26 - The Once and for all Offering
***“How much more” argument***
Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Necessary
Absolutely necessary
Copies of the heavenly things
Handmade tabernacle
The book
Vessels
Purified
Functions as a linking word for this section and the previous section - Hebrews 9:15-22
Heavenly things themselves
Heaven itself has been purified for the inheritors of eternal salvation
Those who inherit eternal salvation have been purified
Covenantal structure, and the need of purification, requires an inaugurating sacrifice.
Better sacrifices than these
The sacrifice of Jesus
For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
***Less than to greater than***
Made with hands
Turning back to the Levitical structure would be compared to idolatry under the new covenant
The old covenant/tabernacle is earthly and obsolete
Appear in the presence of God on our behalf
Jesus is the intercessor on our behalf
Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not of his own,
Day of Atonement reference
For then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world.
Jesus’ singular act reveals the contrast between the Day of Atonement and His once for all sacrifice
If Jesus’ one sacrifice wasn’t sufficient it would have required Him to be continually sacrificed
But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
At the end of the ages
The age between the first coming of the Messiah and his second coming
Put away sin by the sacrifice of himself
Christ put SIN away
Sin remains a force in the world, but it’s claim over us has been entirely abolished
Hebrews 9:27-28 - Judgment and Eternal Salvation
And just as it is appointed for man to die once,
Every person is appointed one life with one death
Even Christ was appointed death, but the result was far different
And after that comes judgment,
So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time,
Having been offered once to bear the sins of many
Once and for all sacrifice that makes the Levitical offerings obsolete
Will appear a second time
The first coming anticipates the second
Not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
Here is where Christ’s glory will completely fulfill His people’s salvation, an eschatological deliverance
Christ is not dealing with sin again like the Levitical priests would have on the Day of Atonement
Eagerly Waiting for him
Application
Jesus’ death is a once and for all sacrifice.
There is nothing else you need to do to have forgiveness from God
Christ is coming again and will give the fullness of salvation to those who are His!
Main Point
The priestly work of Christ, which is far greater than the Old Mosiac Covenant, not only secures salvation in the present, but also provides eschatological deliverance
