The Epistle to the Hebrews

Chapter 10 Verses 5-10

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world,

he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not:

but a body hast thou ordained me.

6 In burnt offerings, and sin offerings thou hast

had no pleasure.

7 Then I said, Lo, I come (in the beginning of

the book it is written of me) that I should do thy

will, O God.

8 Above, when he said, Sacrifice and offering,

and burnt offerings, and sin offerings, thou wouldest

not have, neither hadst pleasure therein (which are

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God,

he taketh away the first, that he may stablish the

second.

10 By the which will we are sanctified, even by the

offering of the body of Jesus Christ once made.

Editor’s Thought - Key verse is verse 9. Herein lies the whole concept of remission of sin, that God in His infinite love of we His children, sent His spirit into the flesh of a man, that being Christ Jesus and offered Him up as a sacrifice and atonement of our corrupted, flawed and sinful ways. Thus negating the very first covenant, and creating and establishing forever the second. This second covenant did NOT take away the law, by which we are expected to do our best to live by, by any means, however, it did remove the requirements demanded by it to live in righteousness, for no flesh could effectively live that way, as we are all sinners. Christ, was the perfection of the Law, that is to say, only HE, imbued with God’s Own spirit personified, could live under it, thereby being without sin. Therefore, being perfect and without sin, was presented by God, as the perfect sacrifice.

Editor’s Note - Sacrifice - spendo spen'-do; apparently a primary verb; to pour out as a libation, i.e. figuratively to devote one's life or blood, as a sacrifice, "spend" be ready to be offered.

Libation - n. L. libatio, - to take a little from anything, to taste, to pour out as an offering.
