본문의 중심내용

예수님은 자신의 피로 완전하고 영원한 속죄를 이루셨기에, 그 사역을 단번에 끝내셨습니다. 예수님께는 다시 오셔서 예수님을 바라는 이들을 완전한 구원으로 이끄실 일만 남았습니다.

[ 히브리서 9:23 - 9:28 ] (찬송257장)

하늘에 들어가신 예수님 

23그러므로 하늘에 있는 것들의 모형은 이런 것들로써 정결하게 할 필요가 있었으나 하늘에 있는 그것들은 이런 것들보다 더 좋은 제물로 할지니라 24그리스도께서는 참 것의 그림자인 손으로 만든 성소에 들어가지 아니하시고 바로 그 하늘에 들어가사 이제 우리를 위하여 하나님 앞에 나타나시고

 단번의 죽음으로 죄를 없애신 예수님 

 25대제사장이 해마다 다른 것의 피로써 성소에 들어가는 것 같이 자주 자기를 드리려고 아니하실지니 26그리하면 그가 세상을 창조한 때부터 자주 고난을 받았어야 할 것이로되 이제 자기를 단번에 제물로 드려 죄를 없이 하시려고 세상 끝에 나타나셨느니라 27한 번 죽는 것은 사람에게 정해진 것이요 그 후에는 심판이 있으리니 28이와 같이 그리스도도 많은 사람의 죄를 담당하시려고 단번에 드리신 바 되셨고 구원에 이르게 하기 위하여 죄와 상관 없이 자기를 바라는 자들에게 두 번째 나타나시리라

[ Hebrews 9:23 - 9:28 ]

23Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own,26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. 

Who is God like?

Thinking & Understanding

Christ purified the sanctuary in heaven by giving his own blood as a sacrificial offering. The high priests of the old covenant repeatedly gave animal offerings every year on the Day of Atonement, but Jesus fulfilled the offering of atonement once for all. Just as all human beings must die once, Jesus Christ, who came as a human being, also died once and gave his body as an offering to eliminate the sins of mankind. When Jesus comes again for the second time, he will not give an offering of atonement but will complete the salvation of mankind (vv. 23-28). 

Who is Jesus?

Vv. 26, 28a Jesus completely eliminated our sins by giving an offering once for all. Christ’s atonement offering does not need to be repeated or supplemented as it is perfect. Do not let false teachings about Jesus’ atonement being insufficient and other people’s help being required make you feel anxious. Our salvation has been perfectly fulfilled by Jesus. 

What lesson is God teaching me?

Vv. 23-24 The fulfilment of the Most Holy Place in heaven means that it is filled with God’s people. Therefore, the writer of Hebrews refers to the cleansing of those who are to go before God’s throne as the cleansing of heaven. We will be welcomed by God, who considers heaven to be incomplete without us, into the Most Holy Place. 

Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank you for your perfect and sufficient atonement.
