Write down as many contrasts as you can find between the sacrifices of the tabernacle and the sacrifice offered by Christ. Why did the latter succeed where the former failed? Answer: the latter failed because it could not cover the sins past, present, and future. Christ’s holy and righteous sacrifice for our sins is the only thing that can cover all sins for all times. The differences here include: 1) Tabernacle sacrifices had to be repeated, 2) they were ‘an annual reminder of sin’ (v3) while Christ’s sacrifice puts the sins out for all time, and 3) Christ now sits at the right hand of God the priest cannot do that.
What consequences of Christ’s sacrifices: a)enjoyed by him, and b) can be enjoyed by us? Answer: We will be made holy. Not sure from this passage. I will wait on Pastor Troy on this one.
To what truths does the Holy Spirit bear witness in the Old Testament passages that are quoted here? Answer: That Christ would be the sacrifice for all sins for all time.
Notes
V5-9. The truth emphasized here it that a moral act of personal obedience has superseded ritual ceremonies, which in themselves had no inherent worth. They were only ‘a shadow of the good things that are coming’ (v1).
V1, 10, 14. ‘Perfected’ and ‘made holy’: The meaning is that by Christ’s one sacrifice we are brought for ever into a perfect, unalterable relationship of acceptance with God and consecration to his service. No further offering for sin is necessary (v18).
Psalms 40:6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. 7 Then I said, "Here I am, I have come-- it is written about me in the scroll. 8 I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
