  • CHAPTER 9 REVIEW
    Christ is superior to Jewish religious system of sacrifice.
    Christ’s death superior to animal sacrifices.
    Christ’s ministry superior to Jewish High Priest’s ministry.
    Hebrews 10:1–4 ESV
    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. Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 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 sins.
    Colossians 2:17 ESV
    These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
    Question #1
    Why could the Law not make worshipers perfect, and what does this reveal about the necessity of Christ's sacrifice?
    Hebrews 10:5–10 ESV
    Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “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. 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.’ ” 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. And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

    Offer of Perfect Life + God’s Will = Forgiveness / Life

    Hebrews 10:11–14 ESV
    And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
    Jesus as High Priest
    Sacrifice per God’s will
    Sits at the right hand of God
    Work is complete forever
    Question #2
    Explain the difference between the daily sacrifices of the priests and the one-time offering of Jesus?
    Hebrews 7:27 ESV
    He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.
    Hebrews 10:15–17 ESV
    And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, “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,” then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
    The End of God’s Work
    New Covenant
    New Knowledge
    Sins forgiven and forgotten
    Hebrews 10:18 ESV
    Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.
    SUMMARY
    O.T. sacrifices could not cleanse the conscience
    Jesus’ sacrifice was effective
    Jesus sacrificed once for all
