Hebrews 10:4

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:1-4

The Old Covenant (the Law) Could Not Do Make Men And Women Perfect. It Was a Failure As Far As Taking Away Sin Was Concerned (Hebrews 10:1-4 ). read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:3-4

‘But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year, for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.’ But this was not so with ‘those sacrifices’. Indeed their continually being offered, rather than suggesting that they were a solution to the problem, was a continual reminder of the fact that they were not a solution but a temporary measure, something that must go on and on, but would never finally achieve their purpose. Year by year they drew... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:1-18

Hebrews 10:1-Job : . In this closing part of the theological discussion the writer dwells further on the finality of Christ’ s one sacrifice, and shows how it has brought to an end the annually repeated offerings under the old covenant. Hebrews 10:1-Numbers : . The OT sacrifices cannot effect their purpose of removing sins. By its nature the Law could only reflect the higher realities, and did not present them in their actual substance; thus the priests who carry out the behests of the Law... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:4

For gives a reason of the precedent proof, that the legal sacrifices did keep sins in remembrance; for they were of such matter as could not have any causal power to take them away. It is not possible: this is equivalent to a universal negative, the impossibility being absolute as to the things themselves in their very nature; they being corporeal, can have no influence upon a spiritual evil in the soul, Micah 6:6,Micah 6:7; and by God’s constitution they were to lead them to better things, God... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-10

CHRIST’S ONE SACRIFICE IS ALTOGETHER SUFFICIENTCRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESTHE first eighteen verses of this chapter are in the nature of a summary of what has already been presented, with some further unfoldings of the argument. One point is made especially prominent; it is that the repetition of the olden sacrifices testified to their inadequacy, while Christ’s one offering is perpetually availing to complete the purification of those who are affected by it. The main thesis of the writer... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-7

Hebrews 10:1-7 Lo, I come. I. None but the Son of God could offer unto the Father a sacrifice to please Him, and to reconcile us unto Him in a perfect manner. The burnt-offerings and sin-offerings were ordained merely as shadows and temporary types of that one offering, the self-devotedness of the Son of God to accomplish all the will of God, the counsel of salvation. It is the Divine and eternal offering of Himself unto the Father in which the incarnation and death of the Lord Jesus are... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-39

Chapter 10For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very substance of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect ( Hebrews 10:1 ).Now notice the law was only a shadow of the good things to come. The value of the studying of Leviticus and the studying of the law, to the Christian, is that it foreshadows the work of Jesus Christ, the offering of Jesus Christ, and the high priestly nature of Jesus... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:1-39

Hebrews 10:1 . The law having a shadow of good things to come. St. Paul, ere his epistles were engrossed, weighed his words, adjusted his thoughts, collated them with the prophets, and knew the support he had from rabbinical theology. The law was a shadow indeed, but a very imperfect shadow of the Messiah, and the glory of his kingdom. Some call it a rough draught of better things. By the law we understand the whole of the ancient economy, which was a shadow of future realities; and... read more
