Hebrews 10:11-13 - Exposition

And every priest indeed standeth daffy ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but he, having offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet. Thus with the one perfectly accomplished and for ever availing sacrifice is brought into connection, as its result, the fulfillment in Christ for man of the ideal of Psalms 8:6 (which was set forth in Hebrews 2:5-10 ; see the remarks there made), and also of the Son's exaltation to the right hand of God, declared in Psalms 110:1-7 . (referred to in Hebrews 1:13 , and brought fully into view in Hebrews 8:1 , after the chapter about Melchizedek). Be it observed that the priesthood "after the order of Melchizedek" in itself implied this exaltation, which was in fact inferred from it. For the priesthood after this order, having been shown to be eternal and unchangeable, was further seen, from Psalms 110:1-7 ., to be conjoined to the eternal royalty at God's right hand.
