The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-39

Hebrews 10:19-39 . HORTATORY PORTION OF THE EPISTLE . The great doctrine of Christ's eternal priesthood having been led up to, established by argument, and at length fully expounded, it remains only to press the practical result of a belief in it in alternate tones of encouragement and of warning. We have seen that, even in the earlier chapters, hortatory passages were frequently interposed, showing the purpose all along in the writer's mind. In the central and deepest part of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:19

Having therefore, brethren - The apostle, in this verse, enters on the hortatory part of his Epistle, which continues to the end of it. He had gone into an extensive examination of the Jewish and Christian systems; he had compared the Founders of the two - Moses and the Son of God, and shown how far superior the latter was to the former; he had compared the Christian Great High Priest with the Jewish high priest, and shown his superiority; he had compared the sacrifices under the two... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:19-22

Hebrews 10:19-22. Having therefore The apostle, having finished the doctrinal part of his epistle, now proceeds to exhortation, deduced from what has been treated of from Hebrews 5:4. For though there are some occasional intermixtures of doctrines, consonant to those before insisted on, yet his professed design henceforward is to propose to, and press on, the believing Hebrews, such duties as the truths he had insisted on laid a foundation for, and showed to be necessary to be practised. ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-25

10:19-12:29 THE ENDURANCE OF GENUINE FAITHThe new covenant brings confidence (10:19-25)Access to God’s presence was limited under the old covenant. Only the high priest could pass through the curtain that closed the entrance to the Most Holy Place, and then only at certain times and under strict conditions. But now that Christ, by his death, has atoned for sin and opened the way to God, all God’s people are able to come before him. They can do so confidently, yet with the reverence and purity... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 10:19

THE FOURTH EXHORTATIONHaving therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus. (Hebrews 10:19)The intensely doctrinal part of the epistle now being completed, there follows at this point an urgent exhortation, the fourth thus far in Hebrews; and this begins with the repetition of a plea already made (Hebrews 4:16), the basis of that one being that our great High Priest can be touched with the feeling of human infirmities and is enthroned on high; the basis of the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:19-20

Hebrews 10:19-20.— The argumentative part of this epistle being now finished, and the great point fully proved,—that the legal sacrifices could never make atonement for sins, though ever so often repeated, and particularly those grand sacrifices which were offered yearly by the high-priest on the great day of expiation; but that Christ had fully and effectually donethis, by his once offering up himself:—the apostle here proceeds to the practical application, which is inferred from the foregoing... read more

III. THE HIGH PRIESTLY OFFICE OF THE SON 5:11-10:39The transition from exposition (Hebrews 4:15 to Hebrews 5:10) to exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20) marks the beginning of a new division in this sermon. The structure of this division is as follows. [Note: Ibid., p. 128.] a Preliminary exhortation (Hebrews 5:11 to Hebrews 6:20)A The priest who is like Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:1-28)B The single, personal sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 8:1 to Hebrews 9:28)C The achievement of eternal... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 10:19-20

"Therefore" sums up the entire argument to this point but especially the affirmation of Hebrews 8:1-2 and its exposition in Hebrews 9:1 to Hebrews 10:18. "Brethren" recalls the writer’s address of his audience of believers in the earlier parenetic units (cf. Hebrews 3:1; Hebrews 3:12; Hebrews 6:9). All believers now have an open invitation to come into the holy place. Under the old covenant that privilege was reserved for the priesthood, only part of God’s people.There are two reasons we can... read more
