Please turn with me this afternoon to Hebrews chapter 10 today. And we are going to read the first 18 verses of Hebrews 10. And so the writer is writing and he says in verse 1: "For the law, having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the thing, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers their unto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshippers once purged should have no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, with sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not. But a body hast thou prepared me. In burnt offering and sacrifice for sin thou hast had no pleasure." Then said I: "Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me to do thy will, O God." "Above where he said sacrifice and offering and burnt offering and offering for sin thou wouldst not, neither hadst thou pleasure therein, which are offered by the law." Then saith he: "Lo, I come to do thy will, O God, he taketh away the first, that he may establish the second." "By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Yeshua, the Messiah, once for all." "And every priest standing daily, ministering and offering often time the same sacrifices, which could never take away sins, but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, forever sat down on the right hand of God." "From henceforth, expecting till his enemies be made his footstool." "For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are sanctified." "Whereof the Holy Spirit is also witness to us, for after that he had said before, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," saith the Lord.

"I will put my laws in their hearts, and in their minds will I write them, and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." "Now, where the remission of this is, there is no more offering for sin." "And I stop here in this verse." "Very interesting chapter," and of course I'm just touching right now the first half of the chapter, because when we're going to continue, you will see that in the next half of Hebrews chapter 10, the apostle give them the fourth warning that he give to them in the book of Hebrews. There are five warnings that he is giving, the next one after chapter 10 found in chapter 12, but in chapter 10, the first part of the chapter, we are really dealing with the fact that the sacrifice of Yeshua, the Lord Jesus the Messiah, is greater than the sacrifices that have been given in the past.

But let's remember, beloved brothers again, and I'm doing it every time to refresh our minds, that we will remember that we are studying a book that was written to Hevraim, to Hebrews. We are studying a book that was written to Jewish people of first century who believed in the Messiah, and always had the danger to go back to the rituals, to go back to the sacrifices, to go back to the God-ordained system, but have been fulfilled in the Messiah, and it was not necessary anymore to do what they have been given by God, but when Yeshua have come, they should have been continuing following after Yeshua the Messiah.

So, up till now, up till the end of chapter 9, we had a superior priesthood, chapter 7. We have the fact that he is functioning under a superior covenant, this is chapter 8, and that he is serving in a superior sanctuary, this is chapter 9. And now we are going to talk about a superior sacrifice. And you see, beloved, look at this, there are three facts in this chapter, which is going to show us that Yeshua's sacrifice is greater than all the others. That's what the apostle is trying to show us here in this chapter. Three proofs to the fact that Yeshua's sacrifice is superior than the sacrifices that have been given before.

And the first fact is found in verses 1 to 10. What is the first fact? The first fact is simply this, that the Messiah Yeshua's sacrifice not only atone or cover sin, but the Messiah's sacrifice removes sin completely. That's the first fact that we need to learn, and those Hebrew believers needed to learn. That his sacrifice, when Yeshua the Messiah died for us on the tree, his sacrifice not only covered our sin and our sins, but completely removed sin away from the presence of the Lord. And you know, we need to learn that because sometimes even Christians, even believers in Yeshua have a sense of guilt of sin.

What I mean by that, they don't understand that once and for all sin and the guilt of sin have been removed away from the child of God, from the believer. The guilt of sin have been removed away by the work of Christ, by the work of the Messiah. And there is no more the need of fearing God and saying, well, maybe God have not completely dealt with my sins. And then there is a fear of being in the presence of the Lord because we think that our sins haven't been dealt with because we do not understand what the Bible teaching us. And so look what he is telling us, and he does here in verses 1 to 10, he shows us three things.

Number one, there was a need of a better sacrifice, verses 1 to 4. Number two, there is a provision of a better sacrifice, verses 5 to 9. And number three, there is an effectiveness of the better sacrifice, verse 10. That's what he does in the first 10 verses. There was a need of a better sacrifice. There was a need of it. And therefore it came in a person and the work of the Messiah. Look, verses 1, 2, 3, and 4 of chapter 10. For the law, having a shadow of good things to come. And not the very image of the things can never with those sacrifices, plural, which they, this is the Hebrews of old, have offered year by year continually, make the comers there unto perfect.

Look what he says first of all in verse 1. The law has been a shadow of good things to come. A shadow is not the reality. A shadow is that which is a picture of that which is real. So he's saying to them, the law and all the sacrificial system which God have established, having a shadow of good things to come. That's what was the law and what the sacrifices which Israel have offered historically. It was a shadow of good things that were going to come, but only a shadow. And he continued in the same verse and he said, not the very image of the thing can never with those sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make those that came unto God perfect.

You see, he's saying, by the way, you notice that he's using the word year by year here in verse 1, because he's specifically talking of the yearly sacrifices which have been brought by Aaron. And ultimately, Aaron to the Holy of Holies, the blood that Aaron had brought into the Holy of Holies, Kodesh Shachot Hashim, it is the blood that made God satisfied. And God had been pleased with the nation, which once a year he allowed the high priest to come into his presence. And that yearly sacrifice to speak about the day of atonement, where atonement had been made for the nation of Israel, for the totality of the nation.

But you see what he says? Every year when they came, every year when they offered, notice he used the word they, the they, of course, it's not every individual in Israel. In Israel, it is the high priest himself who would come into the Holy of Holies, and there were many high priests that followed Aaron. After Aaron died, another one rose. After he died, another one rose. And they were offering sacrifices daily and weekly and monthly, but also yearly. And here he's speaking about Yom Kippur, Yom HaKippurim. But you see what it says? That they were offering every year, and they were offering continually. But it says here, it could never make those that came unto the presence of the Lord perfect.

It never gave them a sense of complete removal of sin. It always reminded them of sin again and again. You see what he's saying in verse 2? For then, in other words, if it would have made them perfect, would they not have ceased to be offered? You see what he said? If they would come into the presence of God and offer the sacrifice. Of course, the sacrifice was killed earlier in the brazen altar. But ultimately, the blood had come all the way into the immediate presence of God and had been sprinkled before the Ark of the Covenant. And God had been pleased with this because he spoke of the blood that dealt with the question of sin.

But you see, the very fact that they needed to do it every year again proved that they never had a perfect conscience. They never had the freedom in understanding that their sin had been removed. Otherwise, they would not have to bring it again. That's what he says in verse 2. For then, would they have not stopped or ceased to be offered? You see, the very fact that you need to bring sacrifice again only proved that what you have done before only covered your sin and sins temporarily. For a season. For a season. It's only atoned for sin, for a season, but never removed it. And that's why he says in verse 2.

For would they not have ceased to be offered? Why? Because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. You see, he's saying that if that was sufficient, the one sacrifice, then the worshippers will have no more conscience of sins. But the problem, that they did have a conscience of sins. When they brought the sacrifices, the animal sacrifices, those animal sacrifices, animals who died, never removed sins, only atoned. So, it says in the next verse, in those sacrifice, verse 3. Verse 3 says, those sacrifices, the animal sacrifices, reminded the approaches of sins. But in those sacrifice, there is a remembrance again made of sins and again every year.

You see, those sacrifices have been brought in the Day of Atonement in Yom HaKippurim. Instead of putting the conscience, or giving the conscience freedom from guilt, you know what they have done? They have reminded the approachers of sins again and again. They're reminded of them that, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I need to offer this again next year. And I need to do it again the following year, because it reminded them the necessity of bringing the sacrifice again. And that's what he is telling them, there was a need of a better sacrifice. There was definitely a need, and that's what he says in verse 4. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

You know, today, beloved brothers and sisters, today we don't even have sacrifices in the land of Israel. Today we don't even have a temple in the land of Israel. We don't even have a high priest in the land of Israel. We don't have an altar in the land of Israel. We don't have the blood shed on the altar. We don't have even the Holy of Holies. But 2,000 years ago, when the writer wrote to these first century Hebrew believers, Jewish believers, Israeli believers, they have had the temple in existence. They have had the sacrifices going. And so they were inclining to go back to offer those sacrifices with the high priest or with the rest of the nation.

And the writer telling them, no, no, no, he says to them, you are believers in the Messiah. You have to understand that it is not possible that the blood of bulls and the blood of goats should take away sins. It's not possible. Therefore, it's not necessary to go back to the temple to offer those sacrifices because the Messiah have come and you have trusted in him. And therefore, when you trusted in Yeshua, you ought not to go to offer those sacrifices. Now, we have to understand that those animal sacrifices that had been given by God, they were God-ordained. It was not bad to offer them.

In fact, it was important to offer them. But all those particular sacrifices pointed to the future day, as we have read in verse one, they were a shadow of good things to come. They were not the essence. They were not the reality. They were a picture. They were shadow. They were temporarily was given by God, but they were given by God. And so if Israeli in the past would decide not to offer sacrifice, God would have to deal with them. But in what kind of condition he or she would have come if they would offer sacrifice? Do you think that Aaron could barge in into the immediate presence of God into the Holy of Holies with the blood without a proper attitude?

You see, it's not sufficient, of course, to bring sacrifice. God wanted them to have the right attitude. And so they brought the sacrifices which were right, which were pointed to the Messiah, but they should have also offered those sacrifices with the right condition of heart. We're going to get to it in a moment. And so that's why he's saying that those sacrifices which they offer could not remove sin. They forgave sin temporarily, but never removed them. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. But I want you to understand that their sins were forgiven, but only temporary until the next sacrifices were offered.

And then the sins were forgiven temporarily until the next one and the next year and the next year and the next year. But forgiveness they have had, but never complete removal of sin. Always the remembrance of sin. There is a verse or two that we need to read in the book of Leviticus. If you please turn to the book of Leviticus. I want to just read these verses in Leviticus chapter 4. Look what we read in Leviticus chapter 4. Four times in the book of Leviticus in Hebrew Vayikra. Four times we read that their sin will be forgiven to them when they would bring the sacrifices. First of all, in the first two verses of Leviticus chapter 4, first two or three verses.

And the Lord said unto Moses saying, speaking to the children of Israel saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done and shall do against any of them. If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people, then let them bring for his sin which he had sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the Lord for a sin offering. And then he continued to bring also a bullock unto the door and how to bring the sin offering unto the door. But notice what he says later on in verse 20.

Verse 26. Verse 26. Verse 26. And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of the peace offering. And the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him. Verse 31. Verse 31. And he shall take away all the fat thereof, and the fat is taken away from of the sacrifice of the peace offering. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar for his sweet Savior unto the Lord. And the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him. Verse 35. And he shall take away all the fat thereof, and the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offering.

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord. And the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him. You know the fourth time we find out that sin and sins will be forgiven when the sacrifices, whether it is a peace offering, or a sin offering, or a trespass offering, the sin will be forgiven. But you never read that it will be removed. You see, it's one thing for me to forgive you. It's another thing for me to remove the wrong that you have done for me, or I, to you.

Let's say we have done something wrong to each other, and I'm coming to you, or you're coming to me, and you say, Brother Gideon, could you please forgive me the wrong that I have done for you? And I say, you know what? I forgive you. But you see, always before my mind, I remember what that person has done for me. And I remember that. You see, it's kept in my mind, but I forgive. And it's a good thing to do to forgive sin, to forgive wrong. But it's one thing to forgive wrong. It's another thing to reckon the wrong as if it had never happened.

This is a different thing. And we know very well that God, in the person of the Son, not only that He forgave our sin, but He removed sin completely from His presence. And that's where we are going back now to Hebrews chapter 10. And you notice that in verses 1 to 4, where we just read, we saw that there was a need for a better sacrifice. But now in verses 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, we see that there was a provision of a better sacrifice. There was a way where God had provided a better sacrifice. And that's what He does in verses 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. And notice that. First of all, verse 5, wherefore. In verse 5, He is now taking us to an Old Testament passage.

Now remember, beloved brothers and sisters, because the one who wrote is Jewish, and the ones who read were Jewish, or the one who wrote was Hebrew, and the ones who read were Hebrews, he could only quote to them the Hebrew Scriptures. He could only quote to them what he had in his hands. Even the book of Hebrews itself was not yet ready. He was just enacting it, writing it to those Hebrews. So what does he do? He go back to the Tanakh. He go back to the Psalms. And you look what he says. Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, speaking about Yeshua, the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord Jesus, the Messiah.

When he cometh into the world, this is he, Yeshua. He said, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not, but a body thou hast prepared me. In burnt offering and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me to do thy will, O God. Now you see, the Hebrew writer is pointing to another Hebrew writer in the book of Psalms, namely David. And what David wrote historically in the book of Tehillim, in the book of Psalms, became a messianic psalm. A psalm in Psalm 40 that had pointed to the Messiah of Israel, the Savior of this world.

And so he's saying now, he shows us in those verses, verses 5, 6, and 7. He's actually quoting in verses 5, 6, and 7, Psalm 40, verses 6, 7, and 8. And in that psalm, it says like this, and I think I'm going to turn to the psalm, Psalm 40, and look what it says in Psalm 40. The psalm, it says, In the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God, yea, thy law is within my heart. The writer, the Hebrew writer to the Hebrew believers, quoting for them Psalm 40, verses 6, 7, and 8. But it's very interesting. You notice that all of a sudden, he takes the psalm that David wrote, and he gives us David's speech, as it was Mashiach's speech.

What David said prophetically in Psalm 40 is actually what Yeshua the Messiah said when he came here to this world to give his life a ransom for many. And you notice, he's quoting, but he makes a little change here, that you and I might say, and many people do say, wait a minute. What he wrote in Psalm 40, verse 6, is a little bit different in what the writer writes in Hebrews chapter 10, and verses 5, 6, and 7. It seems like he writes something a little bit different, because it says in verse 6 of Psalm 40, Now look what it says in Hebrews chapter 10, and the verse in which we have began in verse 5.

Verse 5, it says, Wherefore he saith when he come into the world, he said, Sacrifice an offering thou wouldst not, but a body hast thou prepared for me. You see, in Psalm 40, verse 6, it says, My ears you have opened, and in Hebrews 10, verse 5, it says, A body you have prepared for me. Now, of course, immediately, the people who do not want to acknowledge the word of God, they are many times, as you see, there is a problem here, you see. What the psalmist says in Psalm 46, the Hebrew writer quoted completely different, you see. There is some kind of a contradiction in your Bible, you see, and that's why I do not want to accept the Lord Yeshua as my Messiah, as my Lord.

Well, listen, beloved brothers and sisters, the writer did not make any mistake at all. What he was quoting in the book of Hebrews is the Septuagint. The Septuagint is a translation of the Hebrew Tanakh from Hebrew to Greek. And it was translated, by the way, by 70 rabbis who knew Hebrew very, very well. So, they took the passage that is mentioned here in the Hebrew, original Hebrew text, and they have translated from mine ears has now opened, and they have taken this word, of course, the writer took it, and he have applied it to the word ears. The word ears simply, he takes a body you have prepared for me.

Now, why he takes from the ears you have opened to a body you have prepared? Why does he do this shift from the ears to the body? And I tell you why. And at least most Bible scholars teach that and understand it. See, the ear, we all have two ears, but sometimes the Bible uses the singular word ear. The ear speaks of obedience. When we listen to the word of God and submit to the word of God, it's really the ear is the avenue where God would come in and we are subjecting the whole body for the Lord in obedience. You see, God does not want us to listen from one ear and to get it out from the other ear and not be obedient to his will.

God is expecting from the believer to be obedient to him. But you see what happened when the writer, when the psalmist says, you know, God really sacrificed an offering you did not desire. But what he meant by that, the psalmist meant by that is that, you know, you did not only want sacrifices externally without the condition of heart. To only offer sacrifice without to have a heart condition become ritualism. You see, this is exactly what we read in the book of Isaiah chapter one, where God says, I'm already tired from your sacrifices. You're bringing the sacrifices and your heart condition is so far away from me.

And God was not pleased with Israel when they have only brought the sacrifice and there was not the heart condition comes along with this. If you can read in verse 11 of Isaiah one, to what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices? And to me, says the Lord, I am full of the burnt offerings of rain and of the fat of the beast. And I delight not in the blood of bullags and of the lambs and of the goats. He's saying to them, to what purpose you're bringing the sacrifices when your heart is so far away from me. When your bodies is not in subjection to me.

That's what he's saying to the people of Israel. So when the psalmist says in Psalm 40, sacrifice and offering you did not desire. He does not mean that God did not institute the sacrificial system. What he mean is when you bring a sacrifice, you bring your heart condition with it. I don't need your ritualism. And you and I know it very well. We can go to a church meeting today and we can come to the meeting. We can go through the motion when our hearts is not at all in the things of the Lord. Our mind is somewhere else. Our thoughts is in another place. The Lord is just seeing our heart.

And he knows, by the way, he knows our hearts even right now. He knows that oftentimes we are not here. We are only in body here, but our mind is elsewhere. He says, I don't want that. You see, we do exactly oftentimes what Israel have done historically. Israel brought the sacrifices, went through the routine and said to God, God, I'll talk to you later. God does not desire that. God wants sincerity. He wants the sacrifices because in order to receive forgiveness of sins, you need the blood to be poured, but he wants our hearts to come along with it. What is that? So the psalmist says, sacrifice, an offering you did not desire.

And then he said, but my ears, you have dug, you have opened. In Hebrew, it says, my ears, you actually dug and you have opened. And what he mean by that, that my ears have been so much dug through that every message of God sunk into my heart. And there was a life that is devoted for the Lord. That's what he's really saying here. And so he says, sacrifice and offering you really didn't want, but you have prepared mine ears. You have opened mine ears so I can be suitable as a true servant, as a true priest, as a true sacrifice for you, my God.

That's what Yeshua is saying. So the Hebrew writer, he takes it and instead of using the word, my ears, you have opened, he take it and he use this expression, a body you have prepared for me. And you see how true, beloved, when you think of Yeshua, the Messiah, his body was totally devoted to God. You know, like the sacrifices that had been offered historically by Israel, by the Hebrew people, by the people of Israel, the animals had to be without blemish. The animals had to be without any defect in their bodies. There was no defect in the sacrifices because they typified the Messiah. They pointed to the Messiah.

That's why they could not offer any sacrifices with the broken bones. Anything that had blemish in it could never be offered. And so here we see the Messiah saying, and how beautiful he says, a body you have prepared for me. And what does he mean by that? That every step he took in his life, everything that he have done with his body was pleasing to the Father, was pleasing to God. May he prove in his life that the body was prepared for him. His body was a body that was used totally for God. In every area of his life he pleased God. And he became a suitable sacrifice for God.

A fulfillment that had been pointed out of him by the old sacrifices. He continued and he says in Psalm 40 verse 6b. It says, burnt offering and sin offering thou has not desired. Then said I, lo I come in the volume of the book it is written of me. I delight to do thy will. Oh my God. Yea, thy law is within my heart. You see, Yeshua, the law of God was placed in his heart. It was his life to do the will of the Father, to do the will of God. Even at the moment, the last moment of his life here on earth. If you remember the garden of Gatshmanim and the garden of Gethsemane.

When you remember that he anticipated the crucifixion, the death on the cross. And his sweat was as if great big drops of blood that fell to the ground. You know why they were so large? His sweat was because he had a perfect body. A perfect soul. A perfect human spirit. Never was seen in his life. And now he was anticipating to become a sacrifice. And as he was anticipating to become the sacrifice. He began to understand and to realize now the sin question is going to be laid upon him. And he says, Father, Father, you remember that? Take this cup away from me. This is the cup of God indignation against sin.

If it is possible, Father, take this cup away from me. But he didn't stop there. He says, Nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done. He subjected himself to God's, the Father's requirement. And that's why it says here, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me to do not my will, but thy will of God. I didn't come to do my thing and to do my will. I came to do the will of the Father, the God who has sent me into this world. And by that he fulfilled to the letter, Psalm 40 verses 6, 7, and 8. Because he did come to do the will of the Father.

And you notice it says in the volume of the book it is written of me. Do you want to find Jesus? You find him in the scripture. Everything in the Bible speaks of him. From Genesis to Revelation. From Genesis to Malachi. From Bereshit to Malachi. Every book, whether it is Old Testament Tanakh. Or whether it is the Brit Hadashah, the New Testament. Everything is pointing to the Messiah, Yeshua. In the volume of the book it is written of me. And it is amazing how people cannot find the Lord. And you know why they cannot find the Lord? Because they reject the book. And they reject the author of the book.

And they reject the fact that God says about them that they have sinned before him. And they reject the things of God. And no wonder they cannot find the person of Yeshua, the Messiah, in the scripture. In the volume of the book it is written of me. I come to do thy will, O God. Verses 5, 6, and 7 of our chapter, Hebrew chapter 10. And then now quickly notice. Not only that his body had been prepared. This is the Tapturian translation of the Hebrew Tanakh. Then we read in verses 8 and 9. God had no pleasure in sacrifices without obedience. Without obedience. All sacrifices of old without obedience of the one who came.

God had no pleasure. Look what it says in verse 8. Above. Namely in the book of Psalm. When he said, Psalm 40. Sacrifices and offering and burnt offering and offering for sin thou would not. Neither had pleasure therein. Which are offered by the law. You see. He says, God had no pleasure therein. Because those who had brought them. When they. Some of them. When they have offered them. They came without proper obedience to God. Then it says in verse 9. Then said he. This is Yeshua, the Messiah. Lo, I come. To do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first. This is the old covenant. The law.

That he may establish the second. Establishing the new covenant. The Brit HaChadasha. That we know it. From the book of Jeremiah chapter 31. You see what he did here? He. By virtue of his work on the tree. By virtue of doing the will of God. He. Notice. He took away. Notice. It says very clearly. He taketh away the first. That's the law. Mentioned already in verse 8 at the end. The end. But he established. The second. The second. And the second beloved. Is the covenant. The new covenant. Which he established. The Messiah Yeshua. Have established. In his blood. And that teaches us. Beloved. Brothers and sisters. Of the provision.

Of the better. Sacrifice. Of our Lord. Yeshua. The Messiah. The Messiah. So. Messiah sacrifice. Not only. Atorn. For sins. But remove. Sins. And we see it now. Here is the effectiveness. Of this. Is found in verse 10. And look what it says. In verse 10. By. The which will. We. This is. The Hebrew believers. Of first century. And you and I. We. Are. Notice that. We are sanctified. Through the offering. Of the body. Of Yeshua. The Messiah. How many times. It says here. Once. And for all. You notice. This verse. Had to be sunk. Into the. Brain. And heart. Of every. Believer. In Yeshua. The Messiah. I'm repeating this verse.

By the which will. We. Are sanctified. Through the offering. Through the offering. Of the body. Of Yeshua. The Messiah. Once. For. All. We are. The word sanctified. Means set apart. The word sanctified. Is reckoned. As holy. And righteous. Before God. The word sanctified. Simply means. That God. Had been satisfied. With the work. Of the Messiah. The Messiah. And he set us apart. He cleansed. Our sin. And sin. And he removed. Them. Forever. From before. His eyes. And before his face. By the which will. The will of God. That is. We are sanctified. By the offering. Of the body. Of Yeshua. The Messiah. Once. And for all.

And for all. You see. Here we have. The effectiveness. What is the effectiveness. Is that we don't have to offer this again. And again. And again. And again. Once. For all time. That's it. It's done. It is finished. We don't need to offer sacrifices anymore. And Hebrews. He's saying to them. Don't go back to the temple. Don't go back to the temple in Jerusalem. To offer sacrifices again. Because you have been sanctified forever. It's been dealt with. It's finished. You see. What happened. If a person go back. Into the sacrificial system. He was really saying. That the blood. And the body. Of Yeshua. The Messiah.

Was really not sufficient. To remove sin forever. It is only temporary. That's wrong. To say that. And that's why God says. The effectiveness. Of the better sacrifice. Is completely. Sanctified. The believer. Once. And. For. For. All. And so now. After he said. In verses 1. To 10. That the Messiah. Sacrifice. Take away sin. Now. From verse 11. To 18. He shows us. That. We do not need. To repeat again. And again. And again. This. Sacrifice. It says now. It says now. And every priest. Standing daily. Now you notice. He moved from yearly. To daily. Every priest. Standing daily. Ministering. Offering. Often time. The same. Sacrifices. Which. Can never. Take away sins.

But this man. Namely. Yeshua. After he had. Offered. One. Sacrifice. For sins. Forever. Sat down. On the right. Hand. Of God. You see. In verse 11. We see. That the priest. Used to bring. Not only now. Sacrifice. Yearly. But daily. Every day. They would come. And they will offer. All the time. They will offer. The same. Sacrifices. And they will do it. Often. Again. And again. And every day. But it says. That they could never. Take away. Sins. Dear beloved. Brothers and sisters. You see. Of course. Today. We don't have. The sacrifices. Anymore. In Jerusalem. And that's why. No one. Their sins. Can never. Be taken away.

Unless. They come. To the scriptures. And realize. It. In the person. Of the Messiah. Many religions. That we have. Today. Could never. Give satisfaction. To the soul. Of an individual. You know why. Because. Doesn't matter. How much. You go through. A routine. Is the question. Of sin. The question. Of sin. Troubling. Mankind. All over. Wherever they are. From beginning. From Jerusalem. All over the world. Whether you are. A secular individual. Whether you claim. To be an atheist. Or Hindu. Or Muslim. Or Jewish. Or whatever group. Of religious individual. That you are. You have. The issue. Of sin. To deal with. And if you don't. Have it removed.

And dealt with. You will always. Have this. Heaviness. In your heart. And here. We see here. Every priest. Standing daily. Ministering. And offering. Oftentimes. The same. Sacrifices. Which can never. Take away. Sin. But here. Is this man. This man. said. After he. Offered. One. Sacrifice. For sins. Forever. He sat down. On the right. Hand of God. It is finished. He have. Dealt with it. He offered. Once. And he sat down. We always have to see it. In the context. Of. The Hebrew situation. The high priest. Never sat down. This man sat down. The high priest. Offered. Often time. He offered. Once. The high priest. Had to come.

With sin. Sacrifice. For himself. This one. Have offered. His own self. As a sacrifice. Look at the. Contrast. One was pointing. To him. One is the reality. One is the shadow. One is the real thing. Everything is pointing. To Yeshua. Our Messiah. Who in verse 12. We read. Messiah's offering. And sacrifice. Has been. Completely. Finished. And then. He says. He sat down. On the right hand. Of God. He takes us. Back to. Psalm 110. Psalm 110. God says. Sit down. On my right hand. Until I make. Thine enemies. Thy footstool. Sit down. And he sat down. On his right hand. And he's still. Right now. He's seated. At the right hand.

Of God. The father. Waiting. To come. In a second coming. To deal. With the world. And to restore. Israel. Back to himself. And so. He continues. Now. In verse. Thirteen. And fourteen. It says there. From. Henceforth. From. Henceforth. Expecting. Till. His enemies. Be made. His footstool. You know. One day. Those enemies. Of our blessed. Lord. That are still. Enemies. Of him. One day. They are going. To be judged. By him. It says here. That he gonna. Make his enemies. His footstool. Where his foot. Will rest. And all. I don't. Envy. And individuals. Of him. He will. Have. To come. The second. Time. To judge. This world.

In righteousness. But for us. He reminded. Those Hebrews. And for you. And I. In verse fourteen. Messiah's work. Perfected. Us. The believers. It says here. Look. For by one. Offering. He has perfected. Forever. Beloved. Listen to this. If you. Mark this. He perfected. He has perfected. Made us. Perfect. Forever. Them. That are set apart. You know. When we look at each other. We sure look. Imperfect. When we see. How we conduct. Ourself. We see. Definitely. That we are imperfect. Here. In this world. But this is. Here and now. But our positional standing. With God. Is God. That's what he is saying. To the believer. Says.

Your positional standing. Your. Relationship. Your eternal. Relationship. With the Lord. You have. Been. Perfected. You are. Recognized. By God. As a. Perfect. Individual. Why? Because of the. Sacrifice. Of the Messiah. Because of the. Offering. Of the Messiah. God. And you see. That gives peace. To the soul. You and I. Need not. To. Think of. Ourself. Less than what. God. Think of. You and I. You know. God. Look at us. And he says. I know. You are. Deserved. To be punished. But I love you. I love you. I love you. Hebrews. He would say to them. In first century. I sent the Messiah. For you. So you don't need.

To have a sense. Of being. Imperfect. A sense of being. Never satisfied. I have done. This for you. I have perfected. For you. Not only. For one year. Two year. Or maybe. For a season. Until you're going to send. Your next sin. I have perfected. You. Forever. Forever. I have perfected. You forever. Because. Of the. Offering. Of my son. The Messiah. Yeshua. When he died. For you on the cross. Don't you know. Don't you feel. That peace. Even in your mind. In your heart. To recognize that. You know. Some individuals. Don't think. That their sin. Have been dealt with. Another. Verse. That the apostle. Paul wrote.

In Colossian. Chapter 2. Verse 9. And 10. For. In him. Dwelleth. All. The fullness. Of the Godhead. Bodily. And you. Colossians. Are complete. In him. Which. Is. The head. Of all. Principality. And power. This is. Colossian. 2. And verse 10. You are complete. In him. You are complete. You are not. Lacking. Anything. Because. You are. In Mashiach. In Christ. In Christos. In Messiah. You are complete. You have been perfected. You are lacking nothing. And that's why. We can. Have this confidence. In our own hearts. Because the one. Offering. Of the Messiah. We have been. Perfected. Forever. Those of us. That had been. Sacrified. And so. We continue. Now. In verse 15.

To 18. Of this chapter. Hebrews. Chapter 10. He tell us. That the believer. Have. A perfect. Standing. Before. God. And you know. How we know that. Because. The Holy Spirit. Of God. Is working. In our hearts. To tell us. This. Verse. The Holy Spirit. Also. Is a witness. To us. Now. How do we know. That we have this. Conscience. Free. From guilt. Conscience. Free. Before God. Because. Not only. The Word. Tell us. But the Holy Spirit. Is telling us. You see. We cannot. Believe. In Jesus. The Son. And believe. In God. As the Father. Without. Believing. In the Holy Spirit. Of God. See. The Holy Spirit. Of God's.

Ministry. To us. Is that. His. Ministry. To us. Is to. Impress. Upon our hearts. What the Messiah. Have done. And look. What he says. Here. He says. In verse 15. The Holy Spirit. Of God. Bear. Witness. In us. And to us. You see. He. Bear. A testimony. And you feel. Sometime. God. You know. I fail you. And God. Now. Oh. Look. What's going to happen. God. Now. You don't. Love me. Anymore. And God. You know. The Messiah. Sacrifice. Is not sufficient. For me. And the Bible. Tells us. You want. You want to take. You want to take. What God said. Take him at his word. Well.

Look what he says. He said. That he had been perfected. You forever. But on top of it. The Spirit of God. Beloved. He is impressing us. Upon the heart of the individual. He. He is the one. That witnessing. To us. You see. The same Holy Spirit of God. That he's. Speaking to the unregenerated individual. To the unbeliever. To convict him. To convict him. To convict her. To become a believer. Is the same Spirit of God. Who convicts us. And giving us. The believer. The assurance. That our sins have been dealt with. That the one offering of the Messiah. Perfected us forever. And we have. The liberty.

In our relationship. With the Lord. Because of the work. Of the Messiah. So the Holy Spirit of God. Has a great. And important ministry. To do. In the life. Of the believer. But not only. The witness. Of the Holy Spirit of God. We have also. The witness. Of the word of God. In verses 16. 17. And 18. Look. The witness. Of the word of God. It says in verse 16. As he said. This is the end. Of verse 15. As he said. Before. And now. He's quoting to us. Again. The prophet Jeremiah. Remember. He's writing to Hebrews. The Hebrews. They only had. The Tanakh. In their hands. The New Testament.

Was not written yet. And therefore. What they have. Is the Tanakh. And he give them. The written word of God. He said. Listen. This is the covenant. Verse 16. That I will make. With them. After those days. Says the law. I will put my laws. In their hearts. And in their minds. Will I write them. And their sins. And iniquities. Will I remember. No more. Now. Where there is forgiveness. Of these. There is no. More. Offering. Offering. For sin. He takes us. Back. To the Hebrew scriptures. To the prophet. Yirmiyahu. In chapter 31. Where Jeremiah. The prophet. Prophesized. Concerning. The coming. Of the new covenant. And the new covenant.

Did come. When the Messiah. Have died. And God says. When the new covenant. Going to come. When the Messiah. Going to give his life. And he. Going to shed his blood. He says. That's it. Things. Going to be different. I will put. My laws. In their hearts. And on their mind. Will I write them. And their sins. And iniquities. Will I. Remember. No more. No more. Now look at this. Of course. Remember. He's writing now. To those Hebrews. They became believers. The Messiah. Have already died. On the cross. And the covenant. Have been established. But Israel. As a nation. Have not come. Into this covenant.

Because of the nation. They were still rejecting. The Messiahship. Of Yeshua. But the Hebrew believers. And you and I. Jews and Gentiles. And like. In this present day. We come under the blessing. Of this covenant. Covenant. And we can. Today. Have the assurance. That our sins. And our iniquities. God will remember. No. More. And brothers and sisters. Listen to this. For a moment. It's not only the sins. That you have committed. Last year. Or many years ago. Is the sins. That you commit today. And the sins. That you will commit. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Remember. When he wrote. This verse. You and I. Were not here. When he wrote.

Those verses. In Hebrews. Chapter 10. Or even further. In Jeremiah. Chapter 31. We were not even born. Into this world. The Lord. Haven't died. As yet. What he's telling us. That on the basis. Of the new covenant. The blood. Of the Lord Jesus. The Messiah. Dealt with. All. Sin. And sins. Past. Present. Future. And that's why. When you and I. Sin today. And we do. We don't. In a sense. Even have to ask. For forgiveness. Because it already. Have been forgiven us. But you know. What we need to do. We need to confess it. If we. Confess. Our sins. First. John one. Faithful. And just. To forgive us.

And to cleanse us. From all. Unrighteousness. It doesn't say. Ask for forgiveness. Because they have. Already. Been forgiven. The moment. We have sinned. But what happened. When you and I. Sin today. We haven't lost. Our salvation. But we lost. The enjoyment. Of it. The all of a sudden. The relationship. With Yeshua. Had been. The enjoyment. Of the relationship. Had been broken. I would come in. I cannot. Enjoy the Lord. I don't want to be. In his presence. Anymore. Because. I have sinned. You see. What I need to do. Is to turn around. And say to him. Lord. I have sinned.

and my sin but I want to confess this before you to admit that I fail and I sin and I want you to restore the joy that I had before and a believer that sin never lose his or her salvation but they lose the enjoyment of that salvation that's why many times you and I don't enjoy our salvation because we haven't dealt with our sins we haven't honestly went on our knees before him and told him Lord Jesus I am wrong in my action and I pray that you will restore me and I want you to restore me back to yourself and that's why he says their sins and their iniquities will I remember no

more and he closed that section and I'm going to close with that now where there is forgiveness of sins there is no more offering for sin if we have been forgiven already and we have there is no more need to bring offering again and again and again anymore there is no need for that it's done with it's finished there is one sacrifice that perfected us forever and we do not need another sacrifice anymore and those that think they do they never understood what happened when the Lord Yeshua died for them and finished the work and if you don't understand that you got to go back to the scripture see what he teaches us in the

scripture and find release find freedom and liberty as you have this in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ Christ and only he can provide it as we turn to the scriptures to learn these things from him so beloved look we have covered verses 1 to 18 there is a superior sacrifice of the Messiah he took away sin verses 1 to 10 and sin sacrifice need not to be repeated because it's done once and for all in our next meeting we are going to see how this sacrifice opened the door for us to the immediate presence of God and to keep our focus our minds and our hearts on the person of the Lord Jesus

the Messiah can you say amen for that
