SUMMARY OF CHAPTER TEN

The first eighteen verses of Chapter Ten conclude the teaching on the ministry of Jesus as High Priest which began in Hebrews 8:1 and according to that verse is the main point in the book.

The weakness of the continual offering of the Old Testament system is again pointed out, for they could not cleanse the conscience from sin. But the offering of the body of Jesus, in harmony with the will of God as the scripture indicated, did what all the animal sacrifices could not do. So when Christ had made the one Offering with its permanent effect He assumed His position at the right hand of the throne of God as King and Priest.
The rest of the chapter as suggested in the outline begins the application of this doctrinal issue in the form of a final appeal to faithfulness. In the light of the efficacy of the offering of Christ, why should one forsake Him as High Priest and King for the weak things of the former life under the Levitical priesthood? Considering the privileges enjoyed under Christ, the appeal is made to patiently endure the trial that may come and ultimately receive the reward of faithfulness.
