Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 9:28

_ _ ChristGreek, “THE Christ”; the representative MAN; representing all men, as the first Adam did.

_ _ once offered — not “often,” Hebrews 9:25; just as “men,” of whom He is the representative Head, are appointed by God once to die. He did not need to die again and again for each individual, or each successive generation of men, for He represents all men of every age, and therefore needed to die but once for all, so as to exhaust the penalty of death incurred by all. He was offered by the Father, His own “eternal Spirit” (Hebrews 9:14) concurring; as Abraham spared not Isaac, but offered him, the son himself unresistingly submitting to the father’s will (Genesis 22:1-24).

_ _ to bear the sins — referring to Isaiah 53:12, “He bare the sins of many,” namely, on Himself; so “bear” means, Leviticus 24:15; Numbers 5:31; Numbers 14:34. The Greek is literally “to bear up” (1 Peter 2:24). “Our sins were laid on Him. When, therefore, He was lifted up on the cross, He bare up our sins along with Him” [Bengel].

_ _ many — not opposed to all, but to few. He, the One, was offered for many; and that once for all (compare Matthew 20:28).

_ _ look for himwith waiting expectation even unto the end (so the Greek). It is translated “wait for” in Romans 8:19, Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 1:7, which see.

_ _ appear — rather, as Greek, “be seen.” No longer in the alien “form of a servant,” but in His own proper glory.

_ _ without sin — apart from, separate from, sin. Not bearing the sin of many on Him as at His first coming (even then there was no sin in Him). That sin has been at His first coming once for all taken away, so as to need no repetition of His sin offering of Himself (Hebrews 9:26). At His second coming He shall have no more to do with sin.

_ _ unto salvation — to bring in completed salvation; redeeming then the body which is as yet subject to the bondage of corruption. Hence, in Philippians 3:20 he says, “we look for THE SAVIOR.” Note, Christ’s prophetical office, as the divine Teacher, was especially exercised during His earthly ministry; His priestly is now from His first to His second coming; His kingly office shall be fully manifested at, and after, His second coming.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hebrews 9:23-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 9:28

Christ having once died to bear the sins — The punishment due to them. Of many — Even as many as are born into the world. Will appear the second time — When he comes to judgment. Without sin — Not as he did before, bearing on himself the sins of many, but to bestow everlasting salvation.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hebrews 9:28

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of (s) many; (16) and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

(s) Thus the general promise is restrained to the elect only: and we have to seek the testimony of our election, not in the secret counsel of God, but in the effects that our faith works, and so we must climb up from the lowest step to the highest, there to find such comfort as is most certain, and shall never be moved.

(16) Shortly by the way he sets Christ as Judge, partly to terrify those who are not trusting in the only sacrifice of Christ once made, and partly to keep the faithful in their duty, so that they will not go back.
