Subject: An offering for sins is no longer needed |
Bible Note: An offering for sins is no longer needed AMPLIFIED Hebrews 10:18 Now where there is absolute remission (forgiveness and cancellation of the penalty) of these [sins and lawbreaking], there is no longer any offering made to atone for sin. Hebrews 10:15-18 'Having God's Torah written in one's heart and mind necessarily implies that God has forgiven one's sins, so that "an offering for sins is no longer needed." Therefore the readers of this sermon should free themselves from their compulsion to offer animal sacrifices as sin offerings and instead be fully assured of the sufficiency of Yeshua's (Jesus') sacrifice of himself on their behalf. We moderns have no such compulsion, but we too should be convinced of the necessity of blood sacrifice for sin while having assurance that Yeshua's blood sacrifice fulfills that requirement. With this, the author's major argument is completed. 'But the author is very specific in limiting what he says. "An offering for sins is no longer needed" and is ruled out. But the other sacrificial offerings remain part of God's order even after Yeshua's death, as proved by Sha'ul's (Paul's) activity in the Temple at Acts 24:17. With the destruction of the Temple, sacrificial offerings became impossible; but if the Temple is rebuilt, thank offerings, meal offerings, and praise offerings may be offered once again. The author of this letter [to the Hebrews] does not proclaim the end of the sacrificial system in its entirety, only the end of animal sacrifices for sins.' ____________________ (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H.
