Hebrews 10:11-13This Man, after He had offeredThe eras of redemptionI.THE PAST ERA OF CHRIST’S REDEMPTIVE HISTORY. He has “offered one sacrifice for sins.” 1. Christ’s death was a self-immolation. (1) His self-proprietorship. (2) His unexampled philanthropy. 2. His death was a self-immolation for sin. He died to put away sin: to put it away in its guilt-form--in its idea-form--and in its habit-form. His death was a self-immolation for sin unrepeatable. “One … for ever.” Sufficient for all lands... read more

Hebrews 10:14Perfected for ever them that are sanctifiedPerfection in faithI.THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE HERE INTENDED, UNDER THE TERM “SANCTIFIED”; they are described as sanctified persons. There are two meanings to the term “sanctified.” One is, “set apart.” God has set apart His people from before the foundation of the world, to be His chosen and peculiar inheritance.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 10:1

1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. Ver. 1. A Shadow of good things, &c. ] That is, of Christ, saith one. When the sun is behind, the shadow is before; when the sun is before, the shadow is behind. So was it in Christ to them of old. This Sun was behind, and therefore the law or shadow was before; to us under grace the Sun... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 10:2

2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. Ver. 2. No more conscience of sin ] Christ, though he took not away death, yet he did the sting of death; so though he took not away sin, yet he did the guilt of sin. read more

4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Ver. 4. Should take away sins ] And so pacify conscience; for sin is to the conscience as a mote to the eye, as a dagger to the heart, 2 Samuel 24:10 , as an adder’s sting to the flesh, Proverbs 23:32 . read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 10:5

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: Ver. 5. But a body hast thou prepared ] A metaphor from mechanics, who do artificially fit one part of their work to another, and so finish the whole, κατηρτισω . God fitted his Son’s body to be joined with the Deity, and to be an expiatory sacrifice for sin. read more
