The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-25

The great admonition. Having completed his elaborate argument, and concluded the doctrinal part of the treatise, the author warmly exhorts the Hebrews to maintain their Christian steadfastness. The appeal contained in these verses collects into a focus of intense light and heat the main teaching of this weighty book. The paragraph before us may be regarded as the center of gravity of the Epistle. It is also the key-note of the impressive representations and the loving counsels which occupy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-39

Hebrews 10:19-39 . HORTATORY PORTION OF THE EPISTLE . The great doctrine of Christ's eternal priesthood having been led up to, established by argument, and at length fully expounded, it remains only to press the practical result of a belief in it in alternate tones of encouragement and of warning. We have seen that, even in the earlier chapters, hortatory passages were frequently interposed, showing the purpose all along in the writer's mind. In the central and deepest part of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:22

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure water. "Let us draw near" ( προσερχώμεθα ) is a liturgical phrase, denoting the approach of the people, after ceremonial atonement, to the earthly sanctuary (cf. Hebrews 10:1 , τοὺς προσερχομένους ) . We may now draw near to the very heavenly mercy-seat, without any sense of a bar to our doing so on the ground of consciousness of sin.... read more

Christian fidelity. "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith," etc. I. THE EXHORTATION TO CHRISTIAN FIDELITY . "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope, that it waver not." 1. The object of our hope. That in Christ we have at present forgiveness of our sins, the right of approach unto God, sanctifying influences, etc. That through Christ we shall attain unto the future and perfect rest—the sabbath-keeping which remains for the people of God. Or in brief, that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:23

The Christian's steadfast acknowledgment of his hope. I. THE EXISTENCE OF ACTUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT IS ASSUMED . The writer is addressing those who are avowedly Christians. Jesus has already been acknowledged as Apostle and High Priest ( Hebrews 3:1 ), and already an exhortation has been given to hold fast the acknowledgment of him. In the first age of Christianity, the breaking away from Judaism or from Gentile idolatry could not, of course, be concealed. It never was meant... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:23-25

Let us hold fast the confession ( ὁμολογίαν , see Hebrews 3:1 , and ref; also Hebrews 4:14 ) of our hope without wavering ( ἀκλινῆ , agreeing with "confession"); for he is faithful that promised: and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works; not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. The readers, having been exhorted to confidence... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:24

The duty and design of mutual consideration. "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love," etc. An interesting connection of our text with the preceding verses of this paragraph is pointed out by Delitzsch. "How beautifully is the exhortation here disposed in conformity with the Pauline triad of Christian graces ( 1 Corinthians 13:13 ; 1 Thessalonians 1:3 ; 1 Thessalonians 5:8 ; Colossians 1:4 , Colossians 1:5 )! First, the injunction to approach in the full assurance... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:24-25

Mutuality in the Christian life. The exhortation in Hebrews 10:23 is one for individual Christians, looking towards their Savior in direct connection with him and towards their own future. But so soon as ever we feel sure that we are keeping right with respect to Christ, we must make that rightness subservient to the strengthening, the comfort, and the usefulness of our fellow-Christians. We must both help them and look for help to them. Mutual help for common needs is eminently a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:25

Warning against the neglect of social worship. "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom of some is; but exhorting one another." This exhortation is not a positive command, but arises out of the nature of things, and the need of man as a spiritual being. Social worship does not become obligatory because it is commanded in the Scriptures; but we are exhorted not to neglect it because it is needful for us. The obligation springs not from the exhortation, but from the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 10:26-27

For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for ( ἐκδοξὴ , used here only; but ἐκδέξομαι is frequent in the New Testament in sense of "expect;" e.g. supra, Hebrews 10:13 . Hence there seems no good ground for disputing, with Afford, the usual rendering, "expectation") of judgment, and fiery indignation ( πυρός ζῆλος ), which shall devour the adversaries.
