Hebrews 10:11-18 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. (vv. 12-13) I have probably noticed it in times past, but saw it again this time: …

November 30 / Hebrews 10:1-10
Hebrews 10:1-10 I’m going to re-write (with some edits) the first four verses, in 1-3-4-2 order: … the Law…, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, can never make perfect those who draw near. But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is impossible for the …
November 29 / Hebrews 9:23-28
Hebrews 9:23-28 Another oft-quoted verse: And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment… (v. 28) The quote typically begins with “…it is…” or some variant thereto. Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things …
November 28 / Hebrews 9:15-22
Hebrews 9:15-22 A timeless, oft-quoted verse: …without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. (v. 22b) Something new hit me when I read this morning’s passage in my NASB translation: …a death has taken place for the redemption of the violations that were committed under the first covenant… (v. 15b) Jesus is …
November 27 / Hebrews 9:11-14
Hebrews 9:11-14 It’s only a few verses today, but they’re powerful! The “not” words jumped off the page at me, all appearing in one sentence: [Christ] … entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hands, that is, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves… (vv. …
November 26 / Hebrews 9:1-10
Hebrews 9:1-10 Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!! By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing, which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper… …
November 25 / Hebrews 8:7-13
Hebrews 8:7-13 Jeremiah’s prophecy (vv. 8-12) was made sometime around 600 BC. Now Jesus comes along some six centuries later, fulfilling a number of Old Testament messianic prophecies. Although Jeremiah’s prophecy was not fully messianic, it was probably something that Jewish leaders were following in conjunction with the coming of their Messiah. So with all …
November 24 / Hebrews 8:1-6
Hebrews 8:1-6 The second “priest” in the following verse is Jesus: For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. (v. 3) It struck me that the writer was distinguishing between gifts and sacrifices – clear distinctions exist in Leviticus. …
November 23 / Hebrews 7:23-28
Hebrews 7:23-38 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for His own sins and then for those of the people, since He did this once for all when He offered up Himself. (v. 27) Credit to my Study Bible for a really simple, totally obvious, but fully meaningful observation: …
