https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 2 * BOOK 51 A Shadow of Something Glorious to Come - Part 2 Hebrews 10:1-22 Hebrews 10:4 in Paradise." Hebrews 10:5 "When he cometh into the world, (that is speaking of Christ coming into His earthly, first advent – He said) Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body thou hast prepared for me:" We saw in the last part of the last half-hour what God thought of a good portion of the sacrifices made by Israel. They were an abomination to Him because they thought it would just cover a multitude of sins, and it never changed their lives. "You’ve changed our marriage." God does it. I’ve always used that little cliché. All right, so God wasn’t just looking for the sacrifices as I said in the last program. All right so now, he goes on to say, that in His coming into the world, God prepared what? A body. Only the God of This Book could do something like that. The god of the Buddha’s and the god of some of these other religions could never do it, but our God could. Speaking of the baby in the womb. Hebrews 10:6 "In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sins thou hast had no pleasure." All right, in Psalms 40 verse 6, here’s where Paul quotes from. Psalms 40:6-7a "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; (that’s not what God was looking for) mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering thou hast not required. Now, in Christ’s earthly ministry, what was He always praying to the Father? Psalms 40:7-9 "Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is written within my heart. The Nation of Israel. All right, all the way back to Hebrews again, if you will. So God prepares a body with which he can minister to the congregation, to the Nation of Israel. But, in the long term it’s going to be that supreme sacrifice. That was the whole purpose of His coming, so that His sacrifice would end all sacrifices. Hebrews 10:8 "Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offerings for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;" In other words, I want you to be constantly aware that we are talking about that Temple worship, the bringing of these sacrifices. Now verse 9. Hebrews 10:9 For now we just have to realize that all these sacrifices aren’t what made God happy. All right, now verse 10. Hebrews 10:10 I’m talking about a system. The Old Testament economy was that Old Testament system of Temple worship and sacrifices and what have you. Our economy is that we’re saved by faith through God’s Grace plus nothing. Hebrews 10:10a The moment we’re saved, we’re sanctified – set apart for God’s purposes – we’re His. Growth. Well, that’s experiential sanctification. How fast these kids grow up. Because time has gone by. Hebrews 10:10 "By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." We had to have Christ in the flesh. God had to have that body prepared so that it could be the supreme sacrifice. It’s beyond our human comprehension. One day, when we get to Glory, I think we’ll understand, but I don’t think most of us can even get a smidgen of the understanding of why God has demanded the blood sacrifice. We cannot experience new life until we have experienced death to the old. So in verse 11, now we go back to the old economy. Hebrews 10:11 "Every priest standeth daily (none excepted) ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: Those sacrifices could never take away sins. God set it aside. Come back to Galatians, chapter 4. Galatians 4:9a "But now, after that ye have known God, (that is through our saving saith) or rather are known of God, (in other words, we are now His. Well what’s he referring to? The Law! Weak and beggarly. Again Paul is referring to that system of Law when he says for us under Grace: Galatians 5:1a Now we’re talking here about Paul’s converts up there in Gentile country. Now again, is yoke a nice word? I’m free!" Free from what? The bondage. It’s a yoke of bondage. It’s beggarly. It’s weak. Hebrews 10:11 "And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, stood daily ministering and offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sin;"Now what’s my first word again in verse 12? Hebrews 10:12a Now listen if you don’t remember anything else this afternoon. It is forever and when we come under the power and the redeeming liberty of that sacrifice, we are safe forever. How long is eternity? It’s as long as God lives! All right, because of the sacrifice for sin that Christ made, what did He do? #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
