Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 10:19-25

Hebrews 10:19-Lamentations : . The exhortation opens with a few verses of general appeal, which sum up the results of the foregoing discussion. A free access to God’ s presence has been given us through the offering of Christ, who has inaugurated a way hitherto unknown, and depending not on mechanical ordinances but on His own living person. He inaugurated this way by breaking through the limitations of His earthly life as through a curtain. A new turn is here given to the analogy of the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:25

Helps to the performance of both the former duties, to God and fellow Christians, with their respective motives, are laid down in the following part of the chapter. The first is couched in this verse; neither slighting in thought, nor vilifying in word, nor separating, nor leaving by dissociation. Not forsaking: εγκαταλειποντες imports such a desertion, as leaves destitute in deep trouble or distress, when they should be helping. The assembling of ourselves together: επισυναγωγην strictly notes... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-25

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 10:19.—Compare chaps. Hebrews 4:14-16. Brethren.—A sign of the conciliatory tone which the writer is anxious to preserve. Boldness.—See on chaps. Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 4:16. Enter into the holiest.—Free access to the sanctuary. This point the writer has argued. By the blood of Jesus.—ἐν τῷ αἵματι. Moulton says, “It is not that we enter with the blood, as the high priest entered the Holy of Holies (Hebrews 9:25); no comparison is made between Christ’s people... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:19-25

Hebrews 10:19-25 Faith, Hope, and Love. I. The Apostle's great argument is concluded, and the result is placed before us in a very short summary. We have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way; and we have in the heavenly sanctuary a great Priest over the house of God. On this foundation rests a threefold exhortation. (1) Let us draw near with a true heart, in the full assurance of faith. (2) Let us hold fast the profession of hope without wavering.... read more

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (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.CHRISTIANS in general do not sufficiently advert to Christian principles as a ground... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 10:1-39

Chapter 10For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very substance of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect ( Hebrews 10:1 ).Now notice the law was only a shadow of the good things to come. The value of the studying of Leviticus and the studying of the law, to the Christian, is that it foreshadows the work of Jesus Christ, the offering of Jesus Christ, and the high priestly nature of Jesus... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 10:1-39

Hebrews 10:1 . The law having a shadow of good things to come. St. Paul, ere his epistles were engrossed, weighed his words, adjusted his thoughts, collated them with the prophets, and knew the support he had from rabbinical theology. The law was a shadow indeed, but a very imperfect shadow of the Messiah, and the glory of his kingdom. Some call it a rough draught of better things. By the law we understand the whole of the ancient economy, which was a shadow of future realities; and... read more

Hebrews 10:24-25Consider one another, to provoke unto loveMutual consideration:This is a matter of very wide counsel.We consider ourselves--our health, peace, comfort, &c.as a rule, quite enough. We consider, too, our families full well. But Christian life brings us into the great broad sweep of humanity. Wherever there is another, we are to consider him. Consideration implies thought, and thought is costly material burning up the brain. I. MUTUAL CONSIDERATION IS TO BE A CULTIVATED... read more

Hebrews 10:25Not forsaking the assemblingThe Church beneficent:We can scarcely help reading into a passage like this ideas which belong to our time, and not to the time of the writer; that is to say, ideas which are our own rather than his.Our notion as to Christians assembling themselves together is that which has been fixed in our minds by our custom, an old custom now, of attending church on Sundays. The truth is, however--and it is a point which has not received all the consideration to... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 10:25

25 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. Ver. 25. Not forsaking ] Schism is the very cutting asunder of the very veins and arteries of the mystical body of Christ.
