Hebrews 10:9

Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. THEN SAID HE - `At that very time (namely, when speaking by David's mouth in the 40th Psalm) He hath said.' The rejection of the legal sacrifices involves Jesus' voluntary offer to make the self sacrifice with which God is well pleased (for, indeed, it was God's own "will" that He came to do in offering it: so that this sacrifice could not but be well pleasing to God). TAKETH AWAY, [ anairei (G337)] - 'sets aside the first;' namely, the legal system of "sacrifices," which God wills not. THE SECOND - `the will of God' (Hebrews 10:7; Hebrews 1...

9._He taketh away, etc. _See now why and for what purpose this passage was quoted, even that we may know that the full and perfect righteousness under the kingdom of Christ stands in no need of the sacrifices of the Law; for when they are removed, the will of God is set up as a perfect rule. It hence follows, that the sacrifices of beasts were to be removed by the priesthood of Christ, as they had nothing in common with it. For there was no reason, as we have said, for him to reject the sacrifices on account of an accidental blame; for he is not dealing with hypocrites, nor does he condemn the superstition of perverted worship; but he denies that the usual sacrifices are required of a pious man rightly instructed, and he testifies that without sacrifices God is fully and perfectly obeyed....

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...

Verse Hebrews 10:9. _HE TAKETH AWAY THE FIRST_] The offerings, sacrifices, burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sin, which were prescribed by the _law_. _THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH THE SECOND._] The offering of the _body of_ _Jesus_ once for all. It will make little odds in the meaning if we say, he taketh away the first _covenant_, that he may establish the second _covenant_; he takes away the first _dispensation_, that he may establish the second; he takes away the _law_, that he may establish the _Gospel_. In all these cases the sense is nearly the same: I prefer the _first_....

THEN SAID HE - In another part of the passage quoted. When he had said that no offering which man could make would avail, then he said that he would come himself. HE TAKETH AWAY THE FIRST - The word “first” here refers to sacrifices and offerings. He takes them away; that is, he shows that they are of no value in removing sin. He states their inefficacy, and declares his purpose to abolish them. THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH THE SECOND - To wit, the doing of the will of God. The two stand in contrast with each other, and he shows the inefficacy of the former, in order that the necessity for his coming to do the will of God may be fully seen. If they had been efficacious, there would have been no need of his coming to make an atonement....

EXPOSITION HEBREWS 10:1 CONCLUDING SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT WITH RESPECT TO CHRIST'S ETERNAL PRIESTHOOD. HEBREWS 10:1 FOR THE LAW, HAVING A SHADOW OF THE GOOD THINGS TO COME, AND NOT THE VERY IMAGE OF THE THINGS, CAN NEVER WITH THE SAME SACRIFICES YEAR BY YEAR, WHICH THEY OFFER CONTINUALLY, MAKE THE COMERS THEREUNTO PERFECT. The Law is said here to exhibit a _shadow _(σκιὰν)_ _of _the good things to come _(τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν), viz. of the "good things" of which Christ is come as "High Priest" ...

THEN SAID HE, [LO], I COME TO DO THY WILL, O GOD,.... Hebrews 10:7 HE TAKETH AWAY THE FIRST, THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH THE SECOND; the sense is, either that God has taken away, and abolished the law, that he might establish the Gospel; or he has caused the first covenant to vanish away, that place might be found for the second, or new covenant; or he has changed and abrogated the priesthood of Aaron, that he might confirm the unchangeable priesthood of Christ; or rather he has taken away that which was first spoken of in the above citation, namely, sacrifice, offering, burnt offerings, and sin offerings; these he has removed and rejected as insignificant and useless, that he might establish what is mentioned in the second place; namely, the will of God, which is no other than the sacrifice of Christ, offered up according to the will of God, and by which his will i

Hebrews 10:1. _For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect._ A man could go to the Levitical sacrifices twenty years running, and yet be no forwarder. He must go again and again as long as he lived. They were only figures and shadows and types; the real sacrifice is Christ. Hebrews 10:2. _For then-_ If they had been effectual, Hebrews 10:2. _Would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins._ Once forgiven, the sin would not
