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 animal sacrifices of the law did not please God, but the sacrifice of Christ fully sanctifies us
Hebrews 10:1-4 - Animal Sacrifices do not Sanctify
For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities,
Good things to come
Both a present and future reality
It can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near.
Never… make perfect
Perfect those who draw near
Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?
Worshipers
Not simply the priests, but all those who are followers
Having once been cleansed… consciousness of sins?
The old covenant system was unable to purify the conscience
The OT law was instituted by God to foreshadow what would come
But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin.
Blood of bulls and goats
Day of Atonement language
Purified the flesh, but not the conscience
Hebrews 10:5-10 - Christ’s Sacrifice Sanctifies
Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,
Came into the world
Sin-cursed world, not an age to come
A Jewish expression for birth, but Christ was preexistent
He said
Christ realizes that the Father does not desire sacrifices or offerings by animals, but by HIS OWN BODY
***Psalm 40:6-8***
Psalm 40:1-11 - Thanksgiving Song
Psalm 40:12-18 - Lament Song
Psalm 40:6-8 - Sacrifices are not the requirement, but commitment to God’s will which is what David did with his life
Though David committed his entire life to God, he continued to offer sacrifices
Jesus is the greater Davidic King - He offered sacrifices once and never again
“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.
A body have you prepared for me
Speaking of the incarnation
In burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure
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.’”
Behold I have come to do your will, O God
Obedience is in view here
Scroll of the book
Christ is the perfect Davidic King thus fulfilling Davidic Covenant
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),
Then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.”
He does away with the first in order to establish the second.
Come to do your will
Does away with the first in order to establish the second
The Mosaic law has been displaced by the new covenant
And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
By that will
The will of God made manifest in Christ
Offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all
Application
The sacrifices of the Mosaic covenant did not take away sins, they purified the flesh, but not the conscience
Christ was perfectly obedient to the Father, offerings Himself as a sacrifice, and establishes the new covenant
Main Point
The animal sacrifices of the law did not please God, but the sacrifice of Christ fully sanctifies us
