Verse 3

3. But—so far from those sacrifices ceasing to be offered ( :-).

in, c.—in the fact of their being offered, and in the course of their being offered on the day of atonement. Contrast :-.

a remembrance—a recalling to mind by the high priest's confession, on the day of atonement, of the sins both of each past year and of all former years, proving that the expiatory sacrifices of former years were not felt by men's consciences to have fully atoned for former sins in fact, the expiation and remission were only legal and typical (Hebrews 10:4; Hebrews 10:11). The Gospel remission, on the contrary, is so complete, that sins are "remembered no more" (Hebrews 10:11- :) by God. It is unbelief to "forget" this once-for-all purgation, and to fear on account of "former sins" (2 Peter 1:9). The believer, once for all bathed, needs only to "wash" his hands and "feet" of soils, according as he daily contracts them, in Christ's blood (John 13:10).
