Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:23-28

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 9:24

For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us.Here the infinite superiority of Christ is related to the place where the offering of blood took place, not in some carnal, earthly, man-made holy place, but in heaven itself in the very presence of God. The result was a universalization of the benefits thus procured, making them available to all people. Hewitt has a quotation from Tasker, as... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:24

Hebrews 9:24. For Christ is not entered into the holy places, &c.— The apostle here pursues his grand point, which was to shew the infinite superiority and preference of the Christian covenant above that of the Jews. The sacrifice of Christ is more valuable than their sacrifices; the place into which Christ entered is much preferable to that into which their high-priesthood entered: the one was made with hands; the other the work of God: the Jewish tabernacle, a copy or pattern only; the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 9:11-28

The final purging of sin 9:11-28The writer now focused on the issue of sacrifice."The argument moves a stage further as the author turns specifically to what Christ has done. The sacrifices of the old covenant were ineffectual. But in strong contrast Christ made an offering that secures a redemption valid for all eternity. In the sacrifices, a good deal pertained to the use of blood. So in accord with this, the author considers the significance of the blood of animals and that of Christ."... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 9:16-28

The superior sacrifice for sin 9:16-28"The author has made it clear that Christ’s death has instituted a better covenant (Hebrews 9:11-15) which is superior to animal offerings (Hebrews 9:12-14). But the need for such a sacrifice has yet to be explored. So a key word in this subunit [Hebrews 9:16-28] is ’necessary’ (ananke, Hebrews 9:16; Hebrews 9:23). In the process of exploring this point, the author clearly underscored the measureless superiority of the sacrificial death of Christ." [Note:... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 9:24-26

Jesus Christ’s ministry required a once-for-all, sufficient sacrifice. The "consummation" refers to the end of the Old Covenant. Jesus Christ entered the presence of God rather than an earthly tabernacle (Hebrews 9:24). He made His offering only once rather than repeatedly (Hebrews 9:25). Furthermore He put away sins forever rather than removing them only temporarily (Hebrews 9:26; cf. 1 Peter 1:20)."Copy" (Hebrews 9:24) is the Greek word typos ("type"). The writer identified a type (a divinely... read more
