Hebrews – A Call to Commitment: The Better Sacrifice Hebrews 9:23-28
- These six verses elaborate upon the triumphant announcement of Hebrews 9:11-12.
Three Results of the Better Sacrifice: the good things Heb 9:11
1. Unlimited Access to God
- He is our Advocate! (1 Jn. 2:1-2)
- He lives to intercede: Heb 7:25
- “His work is finished;” “It is finished.” Jn. 19:30
- “Culmination of the Ages.” God's timing was perfect. Gal. 4:4
2. Purpose In Life
- Reincarnation is not Biblical.
- Every moment of life is precious.
3. A Clear Choice
- The scapegoat: Lev. 16:20-22
- The scribe: Joshua Ben Sira, (200 years before the birth of Christ) describes the appearing of the High Priest after the completion of his duties:
- “How glorious he was when the people gathered round him as he came out of the inner sanctuary! Like the morning star among the clouds, like the moon when it is full; like the sun shinning upon the temple of the Most High, and like the rainbow gleaming in glorious clouds; like roses in the days of the first fruits, like lilies by a spring of water, like a green shoot of Lebanon on a summer day; like fire and incense in the censer, like a vessel of hammered gold adorned with all kinds of precious stones; like a olive tree putting forth its fruit, and like a cypress towering in the clouds.
- How much more glorious will Christ return be: 1 John 3:2
