Hebrews 10 - Introduction

The first eighteen verses of this chapter are a summary, rich with fresh thoughts and illustrations, of the topics on which he has been dwelling; namely (1) The one sacrifice of Christ compared with the many Levitic sacrifices (1 10). (2) The perfectness of His finished work (11 18). The remainder of the chapter is occupied with one of the earnest exhortations (19 25) and solemn warnings (25 31), followed by fresh appeals and encouragements (32 39), by which the writer shews throughout that his object in writing is not speculative or theological, but essentially practical and moral.
