Study 12 From The Book of
Hebrews Is: Hebrews 9:15-28
1.
Verses 15-23. What are the reasons why Christ’s death was
necessary? Of what benefits can we be sure because it has occurred?
2.
Verses 24-28. What differences
are here indicated between what the Jewish high priest did an what Christ has
done? What are the consequences of Christ’s one sacrifice of Himself? How can
it affect what happens to us when this life is over?
Note. Verses 15-22. According to ancient practice covenants were
sealed in blood, by the symbolic introduction of the death of the parties
making it. Also, once a transgression of
a covenant obligation had been committed, death became necessary for a second
reason, to pay the penalty of such failure.
So, ‘without the shedding of blood there is not forgiveness of sins’.
