Disciples should
embrace the sacrifice of Christ,
embody sanctification and
engage with forgiveness.
Disciples should embrace the sacrifice of Christ.
Hebrews 10:5-9
• We should embrace Jesus’ bodily sacrifice. 10:5-6
5 Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says,
“Sacrifice and offering You have not desired,
But a body You have prepared for Me;
6 In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have taken no pleasure.
• We should embrace Jesus’ obedient sacrifice. 10:7
7 “Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come
(In the scroll of the book it is written of Me)
To do Your will, O God.’ ”
• We should embrace Jesus’ New Covenant sacrifice. 10:8-9
8 After saying above, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have not desired, nor have You taken pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the Law),
9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.
Disciples should embody sanctification from Christ. Hebrews 10:10-13
• We should embody sanctification that is complete. 10:10
10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
• We should embody sanctification, awaiting enemy defeat. 10:11-13
11 Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;
12 but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God,
13 waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet.
Disciples should engage with forgiveness.
Hebrews 10:14-18
• We should engage with perfection. 10:14
14 For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
• We should engage with the promise. 10:15-17
15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them
After those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws upon their heart,
And on their mind I will write them,”
He then says,
17 “And their sins and their lawless deeds
I will remember no more.”
• We should engage with His provision. 10:18
18 Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin.
