You proba­bly have heard that in the Greek there are no less than five nega­tives. they shall enter into my rest: That is God’s rest, the rest of a finished work, and into that rest many never enter. 3 vols., Cr. El autor de este libro es. We have the truth here; the worlds were framed by the word of God, not made of things which existed previously, but spoken out of nothing by the voice of the Almighty. He counts the believing man to be far beyond the rest of mankind. Ah me! True pilgrims never think of going back; they know that, whatever difficulties and trials lie ahead of them, there are far greater ones in “that country from whence they came out.” Bunyan’s Christian was quite resolved not to go back to the City of Destruction whatever perils he might have to face on his way to the Celestial City. They have hardened their neck against God's Word, have made their brows like flints and their hearts like adamant stones, and now they might just as well stay away from the house of God as not, for their soul has become hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Treasure up these golden words: “Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”, Oh, what a blessed covenant this is! It is “eternal redemption” that He has obtained for us, it is an “eternal inheritance” that He has purchased for us. Does not this bring very sweetly before you the close relationship of Christ to his people? We have not au angelic saviour; but God himself, in the person of his Son, has deigned to be the Mediator of the new covenant. So, you see, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, all lived by faith, and did their works by faith, and distributed blessings to their children by faith. With such a Leader what manner of people ought we to be? This we can never be except by faith. Hebrews 1 – A Superior Savior A. Jesus, the superior Savior. In perfect Godhead bright! Those who are not sustained by faith soon weary of holiness and provoke the Lord. Spurgeon Commentary: Hebrews collects his thoughts on the epistle in a commentary format, including sermon illustrations and applications culled from his sermons and writings. Lexham Press / 2015 / Trade Paperback. “But Christ”-, Christ has entered into the true holy place, — not into that which was curtained with a veil, which was but a type, and which was put away when the veil was rent from the top to the bottom as Jesus died; he has entered into the immediate presence of God, and he has entered there once for all, “having obtained eternal redemption for us.”. You are to hold fast, to hold on, and to hold out to the end; and the grace you need in order to do this is waiting for you if you will but look for it and daily live under the power of it. A child is a very beautiful object, an infant is one of the loveliest sights under heaven; but if, after twenty years, your child was still an infant, it would be a dreadful trial to you. It is an office so high that an angel might covet it, but one that is so responsible that even an angel might tremble to undertake it. God grant that we may have an unquestioning, unstaggering faith! We grow old; our mind is dull; our heart is occupied with other matters, and we let these heavenly things leak out, or drift by us, as if we were not concerned in them. He was no unauthorized priest, self-appointed and unordained. Loud let the howling tempest yell, There was that “evil heart” in the Israelites, is there not a danger that it may be in you also who are partakers of the like nature? "Harden not your hearts." How clean we ought to be, how holy, how heavenly! What a depth of meaning there is in those five words, “a city which hath foundation,” — as if all other cities had none! Do not be frightened, you who have lately been brought into the Lord’s family. It was necessary that you should take away the sacred tent, the tabernacle, ay, and take away the temple, too, before you could learn the spiritual meaning of them. a. Men could not constitute themselves high priests; for the appointment was made by God alone. The Prince of Preachers, Charles H. Spurgeon (19th June 1834 – 31 January 1892) was not only a wonderful orator but also magnificent with his pen. 1866-7.] Oh, children of God, you have some of you been more than forty years now in the Lord’s service: do not vex him. A man may neglect such a child as that, for he is not his legitimate child; and God does not care for professors, who, though they seem to be his children, are not his true sons, so they are pampered, indulged, and spoiled, and left to enjoy themselves while they are here, as the Lord well knows that they will have nothing but sorrow and misery hereafter. (1-8) The apostle expresses satisfaction, as to the most of them. Let us all be worthy of our high pedigree; and may God grant that, if the saints of these latter days are to perfect the history of the Church of Christ, the end may not be less heroic than the beginning was! He must make us like himself before we can see him. Therefore let those who speak slightingly of his atoning sacrifice see their folly, for it is through death that Christ destroys “him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; “ —, As you know to your cost, for perhaps you have aches and pains about you at this very moment. The great trouble of Abraham was not his fatherly instinct, hard as it was to overcome that, and to be the slayer of his only son, his great difficulty was’ “ How can God’s promise be kept ? 1. Are you not willing to take that portion, and to be among the Lord’s tenderly loved ones? See how the apostle speaks of them; he does not say that their bodies were buried, but that their carcases fell, in the wilderness Unbelief degrades us into beasts whose carcases fall beneath the poleaxe of judgment. Hope has its degrees, as faith also. “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of Can my spirit soothe and cheer. Hebrews 13:15-16. That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. "Harden not your hearts," for this will be your ruin. “So on I go — not knowing, I would not if I might; I’d rather walk in the dark with God, than go alone in the light; I’d rather walk by faith with him, than go alone by sight. The immutability and eternity of Christ are the spring of our consolation and security in every condition. 38. The sermons on Hebrews in Part Two supplement the commentary in Part One, providing the reader with a more expansive exposition and application of numerous key sections of Hebrews. Oh, what a solemn thing it is to be a preacher of the everlasting gospel!   We see Jesus, not merely as God, but as the God-man exalted “far above all principality and power, and might, and dominion.”, Here is the representative Man who is supreme over all: “We see Jesus,”. One family; one by nature with Christ our glorious Head. Meditate on those glorious words: “Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”. Zane Hodges (Bible Knowledge Commentary, Hebrews [Victor Books]) and the Grace Evangelical Society are the main advocates, along with R. T. Kendall. Hence, there is now no tabernacle, no temple, no holy court, no inner shrine, the holy of holies. They never get into the classics, the deep things of God; they are afraid of the doctrine of election, and of the doctrine of the eternal covenant, and of the doctrine of the sovereignty of God, for these truths are meant for men of full age, and these poor puny babes have not cut their teeth yet. The witness to the truth of these great matters of fact has been borne by God himself with signs, and wonders, and miracles. Whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. "It pleased the Father to bruise him," and "it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell." Do not believe one thing today, and another thing tomorrow; be not carried about, like the thistledown in the wind. Wherefore, let us rest in the one great finished work of Christ, and be perfectly happy. They were brought out of the unseen by the word of God; so that, really, the word of God is the foundation of everything that has been formed by him; and, after all, things material—created and seen—are not truly substantial. And my bright hopes disappear: 7/6 each. It makes a heart of iron move. From there the editors have divided Spurgeon’s thoughts into three sections: Exposition, Illustration, and Application. As man, he fills the throne of God. We are constantly picking up the relics of them, but there is, blessed be the name of the Lord, “a city which hath foundations,” a city founded on eternal power, and we are on our way to that city, I hope. Whether it be a covenant or a testament, death is necessary to make it valid. This is the very heart of the gospel, and it should be preached in your hear­ing every Sabbath day at the least. “But without faith it is impossible to please him.”. He spoke whatsoever was uttered by his prophets. No, God grant we may be of another sort lest he should lift his hand and swear, “They shall not enter into my rest.”. Faith is more mighty than any of our senses, or than all our senses combined. EasyEnglish is a system of simple English designed by Wycliffe Associates (UK). But I think he liked it best of all because it had stains of blood on it—the blood of Goliath. Mark that Paul does not say that all this could ever happen; but that, if it could, the person concerned would be like apiece of ground which brought forth nothing but thorns and briers. There is a holy, humble fear that perfect love never casts out, but entertains and cherishes; and this is the kind of fear that Noah possessed: “Being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, he prepared an ark.” Noah was a practical life-saver,— an ark-builder; and so he became the second father of the human race,— a sort of new Adam,— and that simply by his faith. Hebrews 13:11-13. Oh, that all of us might so live that, even out of our graves, there might come a voice speaking for God! All these sacrifices and ceremonies, although full of instruction, were not in themselves able to give peace to the conscience of men. If there are two men, who are guilty partners in sin, they never really help each other, they have no true heart of kindness, either of them; but when the time of difficulty comes, each man looks to his own interest. Amen. O Christian, as you see the danger that lies before you if you did prove to be an apostate, bless that sovereign grace which will not suffer you so to do, even as Paul wrote to the Philippians, “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”, What a consoling end this is to the chapter! Faith made them so mighty. Spurgeon's Notes on the New Testament. The better part of his prayer won the victory, and that was, “Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou writ.” You will be heard, too, if that is always the principal clause in your prayers; bat you may not be heard by being delivered from the trouble. Charles H. Spurgeon. Jesus only shall be my eternal theme. Admirable!" Τῶν σαλευομένων, of those things that are shaken) the heaven and the earth.— τὴν μετάθεσιν, the removing) The same word occurs at Hebrews 7:12. I fail to see how any doctrine of atonement except the doctrine of the vicarious sacrifice of Christ can give ease to the guilty conscience. O you who fear to die, wear that priceless jewel ! Kansas City, Missouri 64118, © 2017 The Spurgeon Center and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Hebrews 10:31. Hebrews 13:3. How (the writer) loves to recall this fact! Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Paul is but giving us two sides of the truth, — both equally true, — the one needful for our warning, the other admirable for our consolation. Perhaps he recollected what his Master said to his disciples on one occasion, “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot hear them now.” In a similar fashion Paul writes: —. THOSE who out of weakness were made strong are written among the heroes of faith, and are by no means the least of them. If sin came to you openly proclaiming itself as sin, you would fight against it; but it is very cunning and deceitful and it gradually petrifies the heart and especially the heart of those who think that they will never provoke God by their sin. The true priest must have patience with people of this sort. You know that there are some who preach a temporary salvation; they say that you may be in Christ today and out of Christ tomorrow, that you may be saved by grace at one hour, but damned by sin the next. If you are believers in Christ, you are God’s priests, and this is the sacrifice that you are continually to offer, — the fruit of your lips, giving thanks to God’s name. It is from this sentence that I am sure that the Holy Ghost had a signification, a meaning, a teaching, for every item of the ancient tabernacle and temple; and we are not spinning fancies out of idle brains when we interpret these types, and learn from them important gospel lessons. Hebrews 3:12, 13. He takes away the type because the great Antitype has come. If they only seek to die the death of the righteous, and seek not the pardon of their sin, they shall hear the Lord say to them, “Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded: but ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh.”. Final perseverance is an absolute necessity of a child of God. You see, dear friends, that we need not be great open sinners in order to perish; it is merely a matter of neglect. In this chapter our Saviour’s glorious person is very plainly set before us, and it is made the ground of our faith, and a reason why we should give the more earnest heed to his words, lest at any time we should let them slip. We are bound to go forward to the better land that is before us. Far from it; but “we have an altar,” —. As we shall see farther on, the Holy Ghost intended a significance, a teaching, a meaning, about everything in the old tabernacle, whether it was a candlestick, or a table, or the shewbread. Christ, the center of the celestial chairs, is also the center of all the bands of true singers that are yet here below. Oh joy! The apostle, having deserted the heroes of the faith, represents them as witnesses of the great race which Christens in all ages have to run. It was “by faith” that Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain” presented. They went back, after the victim had been offered, with a certain measure of rest and relief, but not with that perfect rest which is the accompaniment of the pardon that Jesus gives to those who come unto God through him. Let that question ring in our ears, "How shall we escape?" Come boldly to him, then; confess your folly, and expect the pardon that he is waiting to bestow. If there be a drawing back from faith, God can have no pleasure in us; but shall we draw back? God made him to be his vicegerent on earth; and he would still hold that position were it not that, since he has rebelled against his own Sovereign, even the beasts of the field take liberty to be rebellious against him. The former chapter gives us the names of many of these glorious bearers of testimony, who all by faith achieved great wonders and so bore witness to the truth of God. Leave that out? He did not repent that he had bartered his birthright for a mess of pottage; he regretted that he had lost the blessing, that was all. There paid my debt, there bore my load The apostle’s argument is unanswerable. He could not bring his own blood, or he would only have come once, but our Savior has come only once, “to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself “. O Christ, 'twas full for thee! Matthew. So may it be! “The elders”— that is, those who lived in the ancient times — wrought wondrous works by faith, and the “report” of them still encourages others to try to do likewise. Keep looking, beloved, there is nothing here worth looking for; but look for “a city which hath foundations, whose Builder and Maker is God.”. There is nothing that God calls us to do but faith can enable us to accomplish it. His one offering so fully met all the claims of divine justice on behalf of all his people that there was no need of another offering for sin, and no room for it, so his second coming will be “without a sin offering unto salvation,” as the passage may be rendered. To muse upon the gracious truth “All things are possible to him that believeth.”. O Christ, it fell on thee! Let them not be like the driftwood which goes floating down the stream. Glory be to his holy name! She hath an Ark even when God’s wrath sweeps all the rest away. They not only were strangers and pilgrims, but they confessed it. The Greek is, to stir each other up to a paroxysm of love. He does not say, “then are ye alone.” He is speaking about those who profess to be the children of God, writing concerning those who claim to be members of the Lord’s family, and he stigmatizes with one of the most dreadful of names those who may escape without chastisement; but, brethren who among us would have the pleasure of carnal ease if with it we are to have the shame of spiritual illegitimacy? While we keep all the wall with diligence, let us set a double guard at the most vulnerable point. The promises are afar off, and yet faith embraces them to-night. Why should we let it go? Next we read of the reward of faith.

If there are but two faithful ones out of two millions, he knows it, and he records it. I believe he loved it, because it made him remember the brook Jabbok where “he halted upon his thigh.” It had long been his companion, for he said, “With my staff I passed over this Jordan;” but it became more than ever necessary to him after he had won that victory, and had also learned his own weakness. What you have in possession is only a little spending money to use on the road to heaven, but “he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” You may confidently fall back upon the providence of God in all times of straitness and need. Not only hold it, but hold it fast without wavering. As you have seen hanging up in the butcher's shop the carcasses of animals cut right down in the center, so the Word of God is "piercing to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow." A Bible Study in EasyEnglish (2800 word vocabulary) on the Book of Hebrews. Luke. Illustrations are indexed by theme, enabling you to quickly find a fitting observation, whether you're searching by topic or verse. This little commentary is a must read for anyone that wants a clearer understanding and application of the spiritual food found in the book of Hebrews. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. Look at chastisement then in the divine light, and be comforted, be strengthened, be healed of the infirmity of your weakness, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. “Thou hast kept the best wine until now.” Prophets are a very blessed means of communication, but how much more sure, how much more condescending is it for God to speak to us by his Son! Look well to that sin to which you are the most liable. There are certain things about us which require this, so thus it must be. And what shall I more say? The eyes of onlookers stimulate the runners in a race, therefore since all heaven looks on, let us not flag till the goal is reached. It is quite right to say that you have not any righteousness, but it is quite wrong to look for any. By the work of the Holy Ghost within the Virgin Mary, the blessed body of Christ was “prepared” so that he ought be God and man in one person, and so might bring an offering acceptable unto God. Unbelief is barren impotent, a mere negation, a dead and accursed thing; but faith bears fruit faith produces good works, faith achieves marvels. Oh, that he may take his rest within our hearts as his holy habitation; and may there be nothing in our church life that shall grieve the Son of God, and cause him even for a moment to be withdrawn from us: “whose house are we, if we hold fast the, confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.” Perseverance — final perseverance — is the test of election. O glorious purgation by the atoning sacrifice of Christ! For a testament is of force after men are dead; otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth”; or, if you will, while the victim that was to confirm the covenant lived, the covenant was not ratified; it must be slain before it could be thus effective. THE apostle is drawing certain inferences from the covenant of grace, upon which he has been enlarging. He leaned on it as he sat upright on his death-couch, and pronounced the parting blessing. Yet God did save him, and from him there sprang “so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.”. Since hope hath fix'd her anchor here. worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.”— Hebrews xi. reward.” — Hebrews x. Who shall …. He shows that God has made a covenant with his people by which they are …, The Vital Force Hebrews 13 Commentary, this commentary is from the most widely read and often quoted preacher in history, Charles Haddon Spurgeon "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. It is a bad example for a professing Christian to absent himself from the assembly of the friends of Christ. Next we learn the obedience of faith. Christ’s one sacrifice has for ever put away the sins of all who believe in him. We see that by faith. 34. Shall he have them flung in his own face in heaven? Site by Mere. Wild beasts defy him. Christ built the house; he laid us together like stones upon the great foundation, Moses is but a caretaker in the house. Faith puts her hand into God’s hand, and follows where he leads, with sweet contentment, knowing that, if she cannot see, God can, and he will not lead us wrong. That which is to come she regards as eternal, not like a mere tent in which she dwells here, but a city that hath foundations, fixed and firm. "I am too unworthy." "And let us run with patience” or “endurance.” There is to be a combination of the active and passive in the Christian; he must be able to endure and yet be able still to work. That word “encourageth” is a wrong word: “Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.” The scourge was ever a most severe form of punishment. And then see the glory which followed after the shame. He is higher in nature, higher in rank, higher in intellect, and higher in power than they. “Let brotherly love continue.”. hebrews 10 commentary spurgeon. This may be the gospel according to Arminius, but it is not the gospel according to John, nor according to Paul, nor according to our Lord Jesus Christ. William L. Lane — Hebrews 1-8; Hebrews 9-13 (Word Biblical Commentary, 1991). See, brethren, the punishment for disobeying the word spoken by angels was death; what, then, must be the penalty of neglecting the great salvation wrought by the Divine Redeemer himself? That will had not been done, although myriads of sacrifices hail been offered. These things down below are only the patterns, the models, the symbols of the heavenly things; they could therefore be ceremonially purified with the blood which is the symbol of the atoning sacrifice of Christ. We have heard them; do not let us forget them. God grant that we may do so, for Christ’s sake! There would be empty seats in the holy orchestra, gaps in the sacred circle; so we who believe must all come there to make them perfect. It comes by a medium which we must not dare to question, it has confirming seals in it which it is blasphemous for us to dispute. Jesus only No, there is none. In either sense the death of Jesus was necessary to secure to us the blessings of the gospel. Oh, what a marvellous oneness there is here between Christ and his people! Trifle not, therefore, with that salvation which cost Christ so much, and which he himself brings to you with bleeding hands. You are in a race, so run even while you are smarting from your chastisements, still run, and keep on running until you win the prize. Ah, but God’s people are not mindful of that country from whence they came out! Everyone does not receive the like measure of chastisement, and he that has the largest share of the love of God will feel the most of his chastising hand. The miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit were the seal that the gospel was no invention of man, but that it was indeed the message of God. Ah! Sheep are gregarious, and so are the sheep of the Lord Jesus Christ. These words are remarkably forcible in the original. Let us go from the school to the university, let us have done with our first spelling-books, and advance into the higher classics of the kingdom. This is our Lord Jesus Christ putting his trust in the Father, overcoming by faith, even as we do. Spurgeon Commentary: Hebrews collects his thoughts on the epistle in a commentary format, including sermon illustrations and applications culled from his sermons and writings. They understand not that dying word of the Lord Jesus, “It is finished.” They think there is something still to be added to his work to make it effectual; but it is not so. See also how faith laughs at impossibilities. [-Reprinted in Nichol's Commentaries. The visible is but a dream; the things which are round about us are the transient things that shall all pass away.
