Bible Question:
Hi all, This passage is refering to Psalm 40:6 where it says, "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required." So why then does Heb 10:5 say "BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME"? |
Bible Answer: Hi Appleseed, Be assured that the words that are there are just the way that God wanted them. I believe that the writers of the OT didn't know of all that they had written. This is God's word and it is as they often said, "Thus saith the Lord." So the Psalm writer didn't know that he was predicting the coming of Christ. But I believe that we can look at Psalm 40 and incorporate for ourselves the words written. In other words, I can read, "Then I said, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of Me."--and realize that these pronouns should be capitalized because they are speaking of the Coming One. Psalms talks about "Thy righteousness" and "Thy truth". Hebrews is saying the same thing in that Christ has been given a body to offer for the sins of many. Hebrews 9:26, "Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." So believe that He has come and because He came to do God's will He takes away the first (sacrifices) in order to establish the second, (His body offered once for all). Heb 10:9,10 He takes away the Law's sacrifices and offers God's grace and a new and living way; the perfect way of love. Or "Way" :) I haven't decided yet which is more accurate. But it is a great sacrifice by the blood of Jesus and He is our High Priest. |
