Comparative Texts:

Chapter IX,
The
Epistle of Ignatius to the Trallians,
Ignatius of Antioch (c. 110). (Longer Version - 4th cent interpolation) |
|
Vision III.6,
Similitude IX.33,
Shepherd of
Hermas. (c.145) |
| From the
Geneva Notes.
 | "Having mentioned the last
coming of Christ, he stirs up the godly to the meditation of a holy
life, and cites the faithless fallers from God to the fearful
judgment seat of the Judge, because they wickedly rejected him in
whom only salvation consists." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "Believers are to consider how
they can be of service to each other, especially stirring up each
other to the more vigorous and abundant exercise of love, and the
practice of good works." |
|
| From
Wesley's Notes.
| "As by rending the veil in the
temple, the holy of holies became visible and accessible; so by
wounding the body of Christ, the God of heaven was manifested, and
the way to heaven opened." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "What it is to be a high
priest after the order of Melchisedec is set forth, Heb
7:1-25, as contrasted with the Aaronic order. That Christ,
however, as High Priest, is Aaron's antitype in the true holy place,
by virtue of His self-sacrifice here on earth, and Mediator of a
better covenant, whose essential character the old only typified, we
learn, Heb
7:26-9:12." |
|
| "The
Rent Veil; Matthew 27:50,51; Hebrews 10:19,20," Charles H. Spurgeon,
1888. |
| From
The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "It has now been shown that
Christ has, as our high priest, opened the way into the holiest of
all, the heavens, for us. Hence we may follow with boldness. We have
the assurance of heaven." |

| Contemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
|
Commentary,
Hebrews 10:16-25 (Good Friday), Dwight Peterson, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2009.
| "In Hebrews, the theological
arguments-- which are made in gloriously complex detail-- are not
made just for the sake of being made. Instead, these arguments
always have ethical implications. The indicative in Hebrews is
always followed by the imperative... or in this case, by the
hortatory subjunctive." |
|
|
"First
Thoughts on Epistle Passages in the Lectionary,"
Good Friday, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in
Australia.
| "Like much of Hebrews this passage is
alien, yet in other ways very real and relevant. Our task is to use the
same level of creativity which the author used to retell the story of
Jesus in images that make sense to our hearers." |
|
|
"First
Thoughts on Year B Epistle Passages in the Lectionary:
Pentecost 24," William
Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "Hebrews has its own cultural way of
engaging the issues. If we can listen across the cultural divide which
separates his world and ours, we can sense that it is very much about the
totality of divine love and the rejection of the power-mongering of those
who want to set themselves and their systems up as a form of control
between us and God." |

"Faith, Hope & Love in Hebrews," Mary Hinkle, Pilgrim Preaching: Keeping Company with
biblical texts and the people who hear and preach them.
| "So… if I were preaching this text, I
would probably never say "let us." I would, however, try to preach that
"done" news so clearly that people knew by the end of the sermon that they
could approach in faith, hold fast to their hope and show love to others:
the work that Christ has finished has made all that faith, hope and love
possible for us." |
|
|
"Hebrews
10:1-18: Jesus Christ, The Final Sacrifice," Terry A. Larm, (Theological
Gathering Winter 1997).
| "What does it take to put an
end to sacrifices? There is one sacrifice, and only one, that puts
an end to all other sacrifices. It is the sacrifice that God has
willed. It is the sacrifice that is willingly given in absolute
obedience to God's will. But it is not just a matter of obedience
and will. It is also sacrifice. The "body" that God has
prepared for the offering must be sacrificed. This atonement is the
permanent one." |

Offering,"

textual notes. |

"A
Word of Encouragement," Peter J. Gomes, The Christian
Century. At Religion Online.
| "Christians, alas, are not
famous for encouraging one another. Sometimes the phrase
"Christian love" has an unintended sense of irony about
it." |

|
"Christology, Chiasm, and the Concept of Faith in Hebrews 10:19-39,"
Victor (Sung-Yul) Rhee, Filologia Neotestamentaria, 2003.
| "...a close examination of Hebrews
10:19-39 demonstrates that the author of Hebrews has Jesus as the object of
faith for believers, even if it is not expressed in terms of 'faith in
Christ.'" |
