Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 9:1-28

Hebrews 9:2-6 . A tabernacle wherein was the candlestick. For a description of this portable temple, which disdains borrowing figures from the Egyptian temples, though they had some figures analogous to the jews, see the sixteen last chapters of the book of Exodus, and the book of Leviticus for its rituals. The candlestick having seven lamps, he names first, for without light the inner court could not be clearly seen; and so of the other mystical glories already explained as above.... read more

Hebrews 9:11-12Christ … an High Priest of good things to comeThe Lord Jesus as a High PriestGod never destroys for the sake of destroying, nor pulls down the old to leave a void in its place.The Divine method is to overcome evil by uplifting that which is good, and to remove the good, after it has served its purpose, by introducing that which is more excellent. I. Jesus Christ as a High Priest much excels in the GREATNESS AND PERFECTNESS OF THE TABERNACLE. Jesus Christ entered “by a greater and... read more

Hebrews 9:13-14How much more shall the blood of Christ?The sacrifice of Jesus ChristThe sacrifice of our Lord admits of being considered from many different points of view. We may consider it as making atonement for our sins, and ask how any such transference and application of His merits to us, as is involved in this thought, is possible; or we may consider why any such atonement should have been necessary at all to satisfy the requirements of the Divine Righteousness in the moral government... read more

Hebrews 9:22Without shedding of blood is no remissionNo remission without bloodI.ESTABLISH THE FACT. 1. The observances of the ceremonial law show that men were saved by blood under the Mosaic dispensation. 2. The same way of salvation still obtains under the gospel. The typical sacrifices are indeed superseded by the one sacrifice of Christ. But it is through His sacrifice, and through it alone, that any man is saved. (1) This is capable of direct proof from Scripture (1Sa 2:17; 1 Samuel 2:25;... read more

Hebrews 9:27-28Appointed unto men once to dieThe two crises:There is a very cheerful emphasis on that word “once.” I know people who have so much grace that death seems to be attractive to them, and they really talk as though they would be willing to die half a dozen times. It is not so with me. I submit to the idea only because I have to. But, thank God, we die but once. We take seventeen thousand breaths in a day, but there will be only one last breath. 1. I remark, in regard to the first... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 9:13

13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: Ver. 13. The ashes of a heifer ] Gr. Ashes and cinders mixt together, as a monument of Christ’s most base and utmost afflictions, and of our justification and sanctification through faith in his name. σποδος .

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 9:14

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Ver. 14. By the eternal Spirit ] That is, by his Deity, called the Spirit of holiness,Romans 1:4; Romans 1:4 , and the Spirit, 1 Timothy 3:16 , that gave both value and virtue to his death, both to satisfy and to sanctify. Purge your conscience ] This is that eternal redemption, Hebrews 9:12 . From dead works ] The... read more
