Hebrews 9:13
_ _ Hebrews 9:13-28. Proof of and enlargement on, the “eternal redemption” mentioned in Hebrews 9:12.
_ _ For His blood, offered by Himself, purifies not only outwardly, as the Levitical sacrifices on the day of atonement, but inwardly unto the service of the living God (Hebrews 9:13, Hebrews 9:14). His death is the inaugurating act of the new covenant, and of the heavenly sanctuary (Hebrews 9:15-23). His entrance into the true Holy of Holies is the consummation of His once-for-all-offered sacrifice of atonement (Hebrews 9:24, Hebrews 9:26); henceforth, His reappearance alone remains to complete our redemption (Hebrews 9:27, Hebrews 9:28).
_ _ if — as we know is the case; so the Greek indicative means. Argument from the less to the greater. If the blood of mere brutes could purify in any, however small a degree, how much more shall inward purification, and complete and eternal salvation, be wrought by the blood of Christ, in whom dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead?
_ _ ashes of an heifer — (Numbers 19:16-18). The type is full of comfort for us. The water of separation, made of the ashes of the red heifer, was the provision for removing ceremonial defilement whenever incurred by contact with the dead. As she was slain without the camp, so Christ (compare Hebrews 13:11; Numbers 19:3, Numbers 19:4). The ashes were laid by for constant use; so the continually cleansing effects of Christ’s blood, once for all shed. In our wilderness journey we are continually contracting defilement by contact with the spiritually dead, and with dead works, and need therefore continual application to the antitypical life-giving cleansing blood of Christ, whereby we are afresh restored to peace and living communion with God in the heavenly holy place.
_ _ the unclean — Greek, “those defiled” on any particular occasion.
_ _ purifying — Greek, “purity.”
_ _ the flesh — Their effect in themselves extended no further. The law had a carnal and a spiritual aspect; carnal, as an instrument of the Hebrew polity, God, their King, accepting, in minor offenses, expiatory victims instead of the sinner, otherwise doomed to death; spiritual, as the shadow of good things to come (Hebrews 10:1). The spiritual Israelite derived, in partaking of these legal rights, spiritual blessings not flowing from them, but from the great antitype. Ceremonial sacrifices released from temporal penalties and ceremonial disqualifications; Christ’s sacrifice releases from everlasting penalties (Hebrews 9:12), and moral impurities on the conscience disqualifying from access to God (Hebrews 9:14). The purification of the flesh (the mere outward man) was by “sprinkling”; the washing followed by inseparable connection (Numbers 19:19). So justification is followed by renewing. |
Hebrews 9:13
If the ashes of an heifer — Consumed by fire as a sin — offering, being sprinkled on them who were legally unclean. Purified the flesh — Removed that legal uncleanness, and re — admitted them to the temple and the congregation. Numbers 19:17-19. |
Hebrews 9:13
(9) For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the (k) purifying of the flesh:
(9) 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.
(k) He considers the signs separately, being separate from the thing itself. |
