Notes

Hebrews 9:27–28

Christ's first coming was to remove the sins of many people. When he comes again, it will not be to address sins, as that is already done. Instead, he will bring salvation to everyone eagerly waiting for him (see study note on Galatians 5:5).

Hebrews 9:11–10:18

The author compares the old system (Hebrews 9:1 –10) with Christ's superior sacrifice as high priest. Christ offered his own blood, not animal blood (9:13 –22; see also 9:7). His offering took place in the heavenly tabernacle, not the earthly one (9:23 –24; see also 9:1 –5). Unlike repeated offerings, Christ's sacrifice happened only once (9:25–10:18; see also 7:27; 9:6 –7).

Hebrews 9:1–10:18

This section explains that Christ's death, as the sacrifice in the new covenant, is better than the sacrifices in the old covenant. In Hebrews 9:1 –10, the author describes worship practices under the old covenant rules (see Exodus 28 –29; Leviticus 1–10; 16:1–17:16). In Hebrews 9:11–10:18, these rules are compared to Christ's superior offering.

Hebrews 8:1–10:18

This passage explains that the role of Jesus as the heavenly high priest is better than the role of earthly priests.
