Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require. / Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—it is written about me in the scroll: / I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.” Hebrews 9:9-10 It is an illustration for the present time, because the gifts and sacrifices being offered were unable to cleanse the conscience of the worshiper. / They consist only in food and drink and special washings—external regulations imposed until the time of reform. Hebrews 9:13-14 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that their bodies are clean, / how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God! Hebrews 8:5-6 The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven.

Hebrews 10:5-7 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me. / In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight. / Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’” Hebrews 10:11-12 Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. / But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God. Romans 8:3-4 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh, / so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, and attentiveness is better than the fat of rams. Isaiah 1:11-14 “What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?” says the LORD. “I am full from the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I take no delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. / When you come to appear before Me, who has required this of you—this trampling of My courts? / Bring your worthless offerings no more; your incense is detestable to Me. New Moons, Sabbaths, and convocations—I cannot endure iniquity in a solemn assembly. ... Jeremiah 7:22-23 For when I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I did not merely command them about burnt offerings and sacrifices, / but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you. Micah 6:6-8 With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves? / Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? / He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

The weakness of the law sacrifices.10. The sacrifice of Christ's body once offered, 14. for ever has taken away sins. 19. An exhortation to hold fast the faith with patience and thanksgiving. In the passage above He says This phrase refers to the preceding verses in Hebrews, specifically quoting Psalm 40:6-8. The author of Hebrews often uses Old Testament scripture to demonstrate the fulfillment of prophecy and the superiority of Christ's sacrifice. The "He" in this context is understood to be Christ, emphasizing His divine authority and role as the ultimate revelation of God's will. “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law). Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe central figure of the New Testament, whose sacrifice is the ultimate fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrificial system. 2. The Author of Hebrews Traditionally attributed to Paul, though the exact authorship is uncertain. The author writes to Jewish Christians to encourage them in their faith. 3. Old Testament Sacrificial System The system of sacrifices and offerings prescribed in the Law of Moses, which included burnt offerings and sin offerings. 4. The Law Refers to the Mosaic Law given to the Israelites, which included detailed instructions for sacrifices and offerings. 5. Jewish Christians The original audience of the Book of Hebrews, who were familiar with the Jewish sacrificial system and needed encouragement to hold fast to their faith in Christ. Teaching Points Understanding God's DesireGod desires obedience and a heart aligned with His will more than ritualistic sacrifices. Our actions should stem from a genuine relationship with Him. Fulfillment in Christ Jesus' sacrifice on the cross fulfills the requirements of the Law, rendering the old sacrificial system obsolete. Believers are called to live in the freedom and grace provided by His ultimate sacrifice. Heart Over Ritual While religious practices are important, they should not replace a sincere and obedient heart. Evaluate your spiritual practices to ensure they reflect a true devotion to God. Living Sacrifices As believers, we are called to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is our true and proper worship (Romans 12:1). Encouragement in Faith The original audience of Hebrews faced challenges in maintaining their faith. We, too, must hold fast to our faith, especially in times of trial, knowing that Christ's sacrifice is sufficient.(8) Above when he said.--Better, Whereas he saith above; or, as we might express it, "Saying at the outset," "Setting out with saying." In the following words the best MSS. have the plural, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and (sacrifices) for sin." The change from singular to plural is in harmony with the thought of Hebrews 10:1-4, the repetition of sacrifices. Which are offered by the law.--Rather, such as are offered according to law. The change from "the law" to "law" seems intentional, as if the writer had in thought the contrast between any external law of ritual and a principle of inward obedience. Verses 8-10. - Saying above that Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and offerings for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (such as are offered according to the Law); then hath he said, Lo, I come to do thy will; i.e. he has made this second assertion while making the first also. The purpose of thus putting it is to show the connection between the two assertions; that fulfillment of God's will is spoken of as a substitute for sacrifices, whose inutility in themselves had been declared. Yes; he taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. In the which will (the Divine will, willing our redemption through Christ, and perfectly fulfilled by him) we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. For the sense to be attached to the verb ἁγιάζω see under Hebrews 2:11. It is not our progressive sanctification by the Holy Ghost that is intended, but the hallowing effected for us once for all, as denoted by the perfect participle ἡγιασμένοι. The remainder of this concluding summary (vers. 11-19) serves to weave together the various threads of the foregoing argument and emphasize the result.Parallel Commentaries ...
