Commentaries and Concordances | |||
PNT: | 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? If the legal sacrifices secured complete forgiveness, they would not have been offered over and over. Should have had no more conscience of sins. The fact that it was done showed that there was still a consciousness of sin. | ||
WES: | 10:2 They who had been once perfectly purged, would have been no longer conscious either of the guilt or power of their sins. | ||
MHC: | 10:1-10 The apostle having shown that the tabernacle, and ordinances of the covenant of Sinai, were only emblems and types of the gospel, concludes that the sacrifices the high priests offered continually, could not make the worshippers perfect, with respect to pardon, and the purifying of their consciences. But when God manifested in the flesh, became the sacrifice, and his death upon the accursed tree the ransom, then the Sufferer being of infinite worth, his free-will sufferings were of infinite value. The atoning sacrifice must be one capable of consenting, and must of his own will place himself in the sinner's stead: Christ did so. The fountain of all that Christ has done for his people, is the sovereign will and grace of God. The righteousness brought in, and the sacrifice once offered by Christ, are of eternal power, and his salvation shall never be done away. They are of power to make all the comers thereunto perfect; they derive from the atoning blood, strength and motives for obedience, and inward comfort. | ||
