希伯来书 10:1 CUNPSS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:1

Hebrews 10:1. The apostle, in order to display Christ’s dignity as a High-Priest, having illustrated what he affirmed, (Hebrews 8:7,) namely, that the Levitical priests worshipped God in the tabernacle with the representations of the services to be performed by Christ in heaven; also having contrasted the ineffectual services performed by these priests in the tabernacle on earth, with the effectual services performed by Christ in heaven; and the covenant of which they were the mediators, with... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-18

Sacrifice under the new covenant (9:23-10:18)Levitical sacrifices were part of a material order and brought symbolic cleansing. Christ’s death is concerned with the spiritual order and brings actual cleansing (23). The Levitical high priest entered the symbolic presence of God with the blood of a sacrificial animal, a ceremony that had to be repeated yearly. Christ entered God’s real presence on account of his own blood, and he did so only once. His death is sufficient to remove completely the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 10:1

RECAPITULATION OF THE PREVIOUS ARGUMENT AND RESTATEMENT IN STRONGER TERMS;SANCTIFIED BY THE BODY OF CHRIST ONCE FOR ;THE FOURTH EXHORTATIONFor the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh. (Hebrews 10:1)The law as boldly used here indicates that it is not merely certain types of offering and sacrifices, or selected regulations concerning... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:1

Hebrews 10:1. For the law, having a shadow, &c.— The for in this verse seems to connect the discourse here with the former part of the foregoing chapter; wherein the apostle speaks of the earthly or worldly sanctuary, or holy of holies under the law, as a figure, Hebrews 10:9. Nor need we confine the connection merely to what is there said; but refer it more generally to what he has spoken in any part of his epistle before concerning this matter; as particularly ch. Heb 8:5 Hebrews 9:23-24.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:1

1. Previously the oneness of Christ's offering was shown; now is shown its perfection as contrasted with the law sacrifices. having—inasmuch as it has but "the shadow, not the very image," that is, not the exact likeness, reality, and full revelation, such as the Gospel has. The "image" here means the archetype (compare :-), the original, solid image [BENGEL] realizing to us those heavenly verities, of which the law furnished but a shadowy outline before. Compare 2 Corinthians 3:13; 2... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:1

The very nature of the Mosaic Law made it impossible to bring believers into intimate relationship with God since it dealt with externals."Both Paul and our author speak of the law as ’a shadow’; but whereas Paul in Colossians 2:17 has in mind the legal restrictions of Old Testament times (food-laws and regulations about special days), our author is thinking more especially of the law prescribing matters of priesthood and sacrifice in relation to the wilderness tabernacle and the Jerusalem... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:1-18

3. The accomplishment of our high priest 10:1-18This section on the high priestly ministry of Christ (Hebrews 7:1 to Hebrews 10:18) concludes with this pericope in which the writer emphasized the perfecting effect of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on New Covenant believers. He wrote this to impress his readers further with the superiority of their condition compared with that of Old Covenant believers.As pointed out previously, Hebrews 7:1 to Hebrews 10:18 constitutes an exposition of distinctive... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:1-39

Sacrifice Complete in the Fulfilment of God’s Will. The Open Way to GodRecapitulation and close of the argument. The sacrifices of the Law were ineffective to cleanse the conscience, as shown by their continual repetition (Hebrews 10:1-4). In the mind of God they were temporary. But the offering of Christ is a sacrifice that accomplishes the will of God and consecrates us as the people of a new covenant (Hebrews 10:5-10). That it is efficacious and final is also proved by the session of Christ... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 10:1

(1) A Shadow of good things to come.—These words have already come before us; the “shadow” in Hebrews 8:5, and “the good things to come” in the ordinary reading of Hebrews 9:11.Not the very image.—The antithesis is hardly what we should have expected. The word “image” is indeed consistent with the very closest and most perfect likeness; but why is the contrast to “shadow” expressed by a word which cannot denote more than likeness, and not by a reference to the things themselves? The answer... read more
