Hebrews 9:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 9:11

9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered ^awhich cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience—

10 concerned only with ^afoods and drinks, ^bvarious washings, ^cand fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.

The Heavenly Sanctuary

11 But Christ came as High Priest of ^athe good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

12 Not ^awith the blood of goats and calves, but ^bwith His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place ^conce for all, ^dhaving obtained eternal redemption.

13 For if ^athe blood of bulls and goats and ^bthe ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean,¹ sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,

14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without¹ spot to God, ^acleanse your conscience from ^bdead works ^cto serve the living God?

Hebrews 9:11-12

This shows Christ’s role as High Priest in fulfilling the Day of Atonement. It also shows Christ’s fulfillment of the first goat and the bullock for the high priest. Their blood was pure because no hands were laid on them and no sins were confessed (Leviticus 16:15). That undefiled blood was the only blood allowed into the Holy of Holies. Here it says that Christ, who never entered the earthly Holy of Holies as a Man, entered the heavenly Holy of Holies with His own blood.

Excerpted from Jesus Christ's Ascension

Hebrews 9:11-15

This is telling us here that He did all of this for us. He came down as the greatest Priest of all to make sure that all of these things were done. He lived without sin, and He gave His life to purge us, to purge our consciences of guilt, to help us in every way so that we, the called, may receive the promises of the eternal inheritance that God has offered to us.
