People's New Testament 10:18 Where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Hence, since there is complete remission, no more offering for sin is required. Scofield Reference Notes [2] offering Sacrifice, Summary" (1) The first intimation of sacrifice is Gen 3:21 the "coats of skins" having obviously come from slain animals. The first clear instance of sacrifice is Gen 4:4 explained in Heb 11:4. Abel's righteousness was the result of his sacrifice, not of his character. (2) Before the giving of the law the head of the family was the family priest. By the law an order of priests was established who alone could offer sacrifices. Those sacrifices were "shadows," types, expressing variously the guilt and need of the offerer in reference to God, and all pointing to Christ and fulfilled in Him. (3) As foreshadowed by the types and explained by the N.T., the sacrifice of Christ is penal Gal 3:13 2Cor 5:21 substitutional Lev 1:4 Isa 53:5,6 2Cor 5:21 1Pet 2:24 voluntary Gen 22:9 Jn 10:18 redemptive Gal 3:13 Eph 1:7 1Cor 6:20 propitiatory Rom 3:25 reconciling 2Cor 5:18,19 Col 1:21,22 efficacious Jn 12:32,33 Rom 5:9,10 2Cor 5:21 Eph 2:13 Heb 9:11,12,26 10:10-17 1Jn 1:7 Rev 1:5 and revelatory Jn 3:16 1Jn 4:9,10. Margin sin Sin. See Scofield Note: "Rom 3:23". Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 18. where remission of these is-as there is under the Gospel covenant (Heb 10:17). "Here ends the finale (Heb 10:1-18) of the great tripartite arrangement (Heb 7:1-25; 7:26-9:12; 9:13-10:18) of the middle portion of the Epistle. Its great theme was Christ a High Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. What it is to be a high priest after the order of Melchisedec is set forth, Heb 7:1-25, as contrasted with the Aaronic order. That Christ, however, as High Priest, is Aaron's antitype in the true holy place, by virtue of His self-sacrifice here on earth, and Mediator of a better covenant, whose essential character the old only typified, we learn, Heb 7:26-9:12. And that Christ's self-sacrifice, offered through the Eternal Spirit, is of everlasting power, as contrasted with the unavailing cycle of legal offerings, is established in the third part, Heb 9:13-10:18; the first half of this last portion [Heb 9:13-28], showing that both our present possession of salvation, and our future completion of it, are as certain to us as that He is with God, ruling as a Priest and reigning as a King, once more to appear, no more as a bearer of our sins, but in glory as a Judge. The second half, Heb 10:1-18, reiterating the main position of the whole, the High Priesthood of Christ, grounded on His offering of Himself-its kingly character its eternal accomplishment of its end, confirmed by Psalms 40 and 110 and Jeremiah 31" [Delitzsch in Alford]. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 10:11-18 Under the new covenant, or gospel dispensation, full and final pardon is to be had. This makes a vast difference between the new covenant and the old one. Under the old, sacrifices must be often repeated, and after all, only pardon as to this world was to be obtained by them. Under the new, one Sacrifice is enough to procure for all nations and ages, spiritual pardon, or being freed from punishment in the world to come. Well might this be called a new covenant. Let none suppose that human inventions can avail those who put them in the place of the sacrifice of the Son of God. What then remains, but that we seek an interest in this Sacrifice by faith; and the seal of it to our souls, by the sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience? So that by the law being written in our hearts, we may know that we are justified, and that God will no more remember our sins. |
