He taketh away the first...

Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Heb 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.


Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me
Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.



Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;


Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.


Isn't it amazing?! We are told so plainly which law was done away with- burnt offerings, sacrifices, , offering for sin… this sacrificial system was done away with, NOT God's Ten Commandments. People think is says the laws were done away with and that means the Ten Commandments, but it doesn't. There were many laws God gave that weren't put in the Ark of the Covenant, where God dwelled above the Mercy Seat. Only the Ten Commandments were put in the Ark of all the commands, of all the laws given. These Ten Commandments were everlasting. Christ came and lived the Ten Commandments- never changing one single one of them. He even told the rich young man that asked about eternal life this--


Luk 18:20 'Thou knowest the commandments…'


Then Christ Himself went on to name a few of the commandments from the eternal ten to show EXACTLY which commandments He was talking about.


Luk 18:20 '...Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.'


Where are these commandments from? The TEN COMMANDMENTS!


So here we have Christ coming and taking away a law, and that law is the sacrificial laws of burnt offerings, of blood sacrifices, offerings that were made by the sacrificial law to purge sins. NONE of those offerings could take away sin, NONE. It's always been our Savior, always been those sacrifices pointing to Christ's perfect sacrifice.


Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.


Jesus' ONE sacrifice was enough. Jesus' ONE sacrifice meant more than the millions of sacrifices offered when the old sacrificial system was in place. Jesus' sacrifice was and is PERFECT - a human being born of the Spirit, born PERFECT, who lived PERFECT, and died PERFECT.


These are amazing revelations, amazing truths!


More tomorrow, it's been a very long day, a blessed day.


By the grace and mercy of our Perfect Savior! In His love, through HIS righteousness now and forever and ever and ever!
