Christ's Sacrifice Once for All Hebrews 10:1-18 (ESV) Christ's Sacrifice Once for All 1 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,   but a body have you prepared for me; 6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings    you have taken no pleasure. 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,    as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’” December 13, 2016 Hebrews 10:1-18

Christ's Sacrifice Once for All Hebrews 10:1-18 (ESV) Christ's Sacrifice Once for All 8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. December 13, 2016 Hebrews 10:1-18

Christ's Sacrifice Once for All Hebrews 10:1-18 (ESV) Christ's Sacrifice Once for All 15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them     after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts,     and write them on their minds,” 17 then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” 18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin. December 13, 2016 Hebrews 10:1-18

What the Old Covenant Sacrifices could not do (Hebrews 10:1 – 4) Hebrews 10:1-18 (ESV) What the Old Covenant Sacrifices could not do (Hebrews 10:1 – 4) 1 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Observation (O): The law as a shadow of the future The ineffectiveness of animal sacrifices Who draws near?

Who Draws Near? Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 7:19 (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. Hebrews 7:25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 10:22 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Application / Discussion Hebrews 10:1-18 (ESV) Application / Discussion Of the three principal elements of the covenant (High Priest, Sanctuary, Sacrifice) which one do you most resonate with? We didn’t have the Old Covenant, so what drew you to the realization you needed a Savior? (Note: This is part of your testimony.) What are ways that you can better or more effectively “draw near”? What ways would you adjust the Hebrews figure to more accurately represent the scripture? December 13, 2016 Hebrews 10:1-18
