Hebrews 10 (2)

Incarnation – Sanctification – Consummation

· Incarnation - central Christian doctrine that God became flesh, that God assumed a human nature and became a man in the form of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the second person of the Trinity.

· Sanctification - to set apart to a sacred purpose.

· Consummation - the point at which something is complete or finalized.

The Incarnation – He came in obedience to His Father’s will (1 Peter 1:20) Yet it was still an act of His will to submit to the incarnation and the cross at the appointed time; speaks to the pre-existence of Christ

Psalm 40:6-8 OT Prophetic foundation for Jesus’ perfect sacrifice under the New Covenant

The Sanctification Our sanctification – our being set apart to God – is founded on the will of Jesus, not our own will. It is founded on the offering of Jesus, not on our own offering or sacrifices for God.

Consummation - Till His enemies are made His footstool: This looks forward to the consummation of the work of Jesus, and every part connects. The incarnation leads to His perfect life; His perfect life leads to His atoning death; His atoning death leads to His resurrection; His resurrection leads to His ascension to glory; His ascension to glory leads to His return and triumph over every enemy.

diathēkēs – will, covenant

thélēma – will, wish, desire, is nearly always used of God, referring to His preferred-will
