But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God. (Hebrews 10:12)

The book of Hebrews speaks to individual Jews, especially those who kept on sinning by continuing to offer up sacrifices for sins, through their wrongful reliance on the Law of Moses.

Under the New Covenant, or gospel dispensation, full and final pardon is to be had. This makes a vast difference between the old covenant and the new one. Under the old, sacrifices must often be repeated, but they were only shadows of the true sacrifice for all yet to come. Under the new covenant, one sacrifice is enough to procure for all the nations, ages, races and creeds. This is because Jesus had finally come. Spiritual pardon by this one sacrifice was made for all and now all are freed from punishment. And now all who have faith in Christ Jesus may receive the world to come.

Let no one suppose that human interventions can avail the son of God.

What then remains but that, already being Justified before the Father through the Son, we should sacrifice our lives in our everyday living by faith and by the Sanctification of the Spirit?

Lord may we learn from the Law that we fail. May we also, Lord, learn from the Gospel that not only has Jesus succeeded in the Law but that he has succeeded on our behalf also. Though our actions do not succeed now for Salvation may we still succeed as we live in this world, by Your will, to Your glory. Amen.
