Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:23-28

23-28 It is evident that the sacrifices of Christ are infinitely better than those of the law, which could neither procure pardon for sin, nor impart power against it. Sin would still have been upon us, and have had dominion over us; but Jesus Christ, by one sacrifice, has destroyed the works of the devil, that believers may be made righteous, holy, and happy. As no wisdom, learning, virtue, wealth, or power, can keep one of the human race from death, so nothing can deliver a sinner from being... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Hebrews 9:1-99

Hebrews 9 CHAPTER 8 ends with the ominous words, “ready to vanish away.” Thus it was that the Holy Spirit, who inspired these words, prepared the minds of the Jewish disciples for the disappearance of their venerated religious system, which came to pass within a very few years by the destruction of Jerusalem. The temple being destroyed, the priesthood slain, the sacrifices stopped, Judaism has become but the pale and bloodless shadow of its former self. And in itself, and at its best, it was... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Hebrews 9:23-28

The demands of the new covenant satisfied by Christ's perfect sacrifice: v. 23. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. v. 24. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; v. 25. nor yet that he should offer Himself often, as the high... read more

the One Sacrifice That Puts Away Sin Hebrews 9:21-28 Here are the three appearances of Christ: (1) He appeared once, at the ridge or meeting-place of the ages-where the first Covenant and the second met-to put away the sin of the race; and He has done this for each of us. We are called on to believe this and to enter upon our inheritance without questioning or trying to feel it. Men are told clearly that God will not impute their transgressions unto them, unless they place themselves out of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 9:1-28

Because of the better priesthood and the better covenant a better worship is established. First, the sanctuary is described. Christ is set forth as the One who has entered into a greater Tabernacle through a greater service. His entry into the Holy Place is "once ' for all," because He has for ever dealt with sin. The superiority of the sacrifice is emphasized, for it is able to "cleanse the conscience from dead works to serve the living God." The words used here to describe the central... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 9:27

THE UNIVERSAL SENTENCE‘It is appointed unto men once to die.’ Hebrews 9:27 There are no diversities of opinion among men concerning death, for nothing is more obvious and certain. And yet they think very little comparatively about it.But what is death? It is the cessation of material being. First, there is coldness, then stillness, then decay. I. The changes wrought by death. (a) It closes the probation of man. (b) It sunders the union of body and soul. (c) It imposes a change of residence.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:18-28

The Centrality of Death In God’s Saving Purposes In Order For All Things To Be Cleansed and Purified (Hebrews 9:18-28 ). We are now looking at the detailed explanation of Hebrews 1:3. How did the Son make purification of sins? By coming as the Christ Messiah and shedding His blood for all who would receive Him. Just as the shedding of blood was central in the old covenant, so it is in the new. But whereas the old required many and continual sacrifices through the centuries, the new required... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:27-28

‘And inasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, and after this comes judgment, so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to those who wait for him, to salvation.’ ‘It is appointed to men once to die.’ That was the sentence in Eden. It is the continual sentence (Romans 5:12; Romans 6:23). So Christ having been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself, and having been rejected by the world as a whole, all that... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:23-28

Hebrews 9:23-Hosea : . The surpassing worth of Christ’ s sacrifice, as compared with those of the first covenant, is again enforced. To cleanse the Tabernacle, which was the earthly type of the sanctuary in heaven, the sprinkling of blood was necessary; but the heavenly sanctuary itself had to be cleansed with blood more precious. It is conceived as incurring a certain defilement through contact with the sins that are absolved in it. A cleansing is therefore necessary, as in the case of the... read more
