SECOND PART OF THE EPISTLE — Continued. (Chap. vii. 1-x. 18.)
SECOND SECTION. * The High-Priesthood of Christ greater than, and antitypical of, that of Aaron. Such an high priest (after the order of Melchizedek) it was meet that we should have; One, namely, who, having offered up Himself in sinless purity once for all, is royally enthroned at God’s right hand, and who, being raised as Mediator of the new covenant infinitely above the Aaronic priesthood and their ministries in the earthly tabernacle, is working now for us in the archetypal sanctuary, into which He has once entered with His own blood, accomplishing thereby an eternal redemption (Chap. vii. 26-ix. 12), THIRD SECTION. - The eternal and absolute High-Priesthood of Christ and its final Operation superseding all the Types and Shadows of the Law. * The self-sacrifice of Christ cleanses the hearts to which its blood is applied, and so prepares them for the living service of the living God ; His death is the consecration of a new covenant, and of the things in heaven ; His entrance into the eternal sanctuary is the seal of the absolute remission of sin, beyond which nothing more remains in prospect but His ultimate return to manifest our salvation. In contrast with the oft-repeated sacrifices of the law, Christ by His one self-offering has fully accomplished the will of God, and obtained a perfect sanctification for us ; henceforth He sits enthroned expecting final victory: the new covenant is now established, and needs no other sacrifice than His, being based on the absolute forgiveness of sins procured thereby (Chap. ix. 13-x. 18) THIRD PART OP THE EPISTLE (Chap. x. 19-xiii) - The Disposition of Mind and Manner of Life required of us in this Time of Waiting between the Commencement and the Perfecting of the Work of our Salvation. * Exhortation to approach the newly opened heavenly sanctuary with full assurance of faith ; to hold fast the confession of our well-assured hope ; to exercise mutual vigilance over one another, in expectation of the inevitable day of judgment which will overtake with its penalties all those who wilfully apostatize from the once received truth; and to abide in the stedfastness of former days of trial, so as not finally to lose the recompense of reward which that day will bring to those who live by faith (Chap. x. 19-39) * Faith, a firm, unhesitating assurance of the future and the unseen, was, as the sacred history shows, from the beginning the essential characteristic of every God-accepted life, the condition of every divine blessing and success, the strength of every spiritually heroic action or suffering; faith, namely, in the divine promises, whose fulfilment the fathers hailed only afar off, that having been reserved for us, so that they without us could not be made perfect (Chap, xi.) * Exhortation and encouragement, in view of such a cloud of witnesses, and of the leadership and example of the Lord Jesus Himself, who in the way of suffering has attained to glory, not to grow faint in the conflict with sin, and not to be unmindful of that fatherly love from which the discipline of suffering comes, nor of those peaceable fruits of righteousness which they will gather who submit themselves to it (Chap. xii. 1-11) * Further exhortation to rouse themselves to courageous perseverance in their Christian course, and, following peace and holiness, not to suffer any impurity to spring up among them, lest any, like Esau, might discover, too late, how miserably they had forfeited the promised blessing (Chap, xii. 12-17) * Renewed warning against apostasy: By how much more glorious the revelation of the New Testament (which places us in living communion with the world to come) is than the revelation made to Israel on Mount Sinai, and by how much the kingdom which cannot be moved bestowed on us excels in glory the terrors of the shaken earth at the giving of the law, by so much greater will be our punishment if found unfaithful and disobedient; seeing that the God of the New Testament, as of the Old, is a consuming fire (Chap. xii. 18-29) * Divers admonitions to Christian virtues, especially to an imitation of the faith of their departed leaders ; and also, in contrast to the Levitical legal prescriptions and the Levi-tical divine service, both now done away with, exhortations to a faithful holding fast to Jesus Christ eternally the same; who offered Himself up without the gate of Jerusalem in order to direct our views away from the earthly Jerusalem to the heavenly and abiding city (Chap. xiii. 1-17) * Conclusion (Chap. xiii. 18-25) DISSERTATIONS: I. As to the Author of the Epistle to the Hebrews / II. On the sure Scriptural Basis of the Ecclesiastical Doctrine of Vicarious Satisfaction APPENDIX: I. The Ritual of the Day of Atonement / II. On the Sacrificial Character of the Lord’s Supper NOTES |
