Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 8:7-13

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 8:7. Faultless.—Not merely “free from defect,” but “incomplete,” unable fully to meet man’s case. The old system was complete enough for its limited sphere and purpose: fault was found with its limitations. No place have been sought.—There would have been no occasion for introducing another. The ground would have been covered. It may be said, Why then did not God make Judaism fully efficient? The answer may be given in the words of St. Paul, “That is not... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 8:6-13

Hebrews 8:6-13 The Blessings of the New Covenant. I. The blessings of the New Covenant are all based upon the forgiveness of sin. God promises to put His laws into our minds, and write them upon our hearts, and to be to us a God, because He is merciful to our unrighteousness, and will remember our sins and iniquities no more. All our progress in the Divine life, and all the consolations of the Christian pilgrim, are rooted in this primary doctrine of forgiveness through faith in Jesus. II.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 8:1-13

Chapter 8Now of the things which we have spoken this is the essence: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heavens; he is a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer [that is the ministry of the priest to offer the gifts and the sacrifices]. For if he were on... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 8:1-13

Hebrews 8:1-6 . Of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum. Paul here recapitulates, for so the grandeur of his arguments required, and he does not do it in a dry and barren manner, but with rich illustrations. As this is a good way of concluding sermons full of doctrine, preachers may here take the hint from Paul. The heads are, the installation of Christ into the mediatorial throne in heaven. He is minister now of the true tabernacle, the church which is his body, the fulness of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 8:13

13 In that he saith, A new covenant , he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Ver. 13. He hath made the first old ] He hath antiquated and abolished it. This the apostle often inculcates, because the Jews went about to establish their own righteousness, and it is a piece of Popery natural to us all, to think to go to heaven by our good meanings and good doings. Is ready to vanish away ] So is the old man in God’s people; that is their... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 8:13

13. And now comes the clear conclusion for the Hebrew readers of this epistle. The very terms of the prophecy describe the abolition of obsolete Judaism, and assure them that to apostatize from Christ is to relapse into a vanished dispensation. A new covenant pronounces the former to be old and obsolete. Decayeth As, plainly, Judaism is doing. Vanish away As Judaism slowly but surely must. The Jews still exist as a separate people, living in the cold moonlight of essential deism. The... read more
