-
"Christ Our Great High Priest," Martin Luther, c.
1522.
- From the Geneva Notes.
- "If the outward sprinkling of
blood and ashes of beasts was a true and effectual sign of purifying
and cleansing, how much more shall the thing itself and the truth
being present which in times past was shadowed by those external
sacraments do it? That is to say, his blood, which is man's blood
and also the blood of the Son of God, and therefore has an
everlasting power of purifying and cleansing."
- From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
- "The depth of the mystery of
the sacrifice of Christ, we cannot dive into, the height we cannot
comprehend. We cannot search out the greatness of it, or the wisdom,
the love, the grace that is in it. But in considering the sacrifice
of Christ, faith finds life, food, and refreshment."
- From Wesley's Notes.
- "The Father delivers up the
kingdom to the Son; and the Holy Ghost becomes the gift of the
Messiah, being, as it were, sent according to his good
pleasure."
- From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
- "Christ--The Messiah,
of whom all the prophets foretold; not "Jesus" here. From
whom the "reformation" (Heb
9:10), or rectification, emanates, which frees from the
yoke of carnal ordinances, and which is being realized gradually
now, and shall be perfectly in the consummation of "the age
(world) to come." "Christ . . . High
Priest," exactly answers to Le
4:5, "the priest that is anointed."
- From
The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
- "Those who served God under it
offered sacrifices which were types of Christ's sacrifices, but they
could not be made efficacious without Christ. It is by his death
that they which are called, of every dispensation, have the promise
of eternal inheritance."
