Hebrews 10:11Easy To Read VersionEvery day the priests stand and do their religious service. Again and again the priests offer the same sacrifices. {\cf2\super [127]} But those sacrifices can never take away sins. See the chapter |
“Then the future ruler will make an agreement with many people. That agreement will continue for one week. {\cf2\super [115]} The offerings and sacrifices will stop for a half of a week. {\cf2\super [116]} And a destroyer will come. He will do terrible, destructive things! {\cf2\super [117]} But God has ordered that destroyer to be completely destroyed.”
“In the same way, each day for seven days, you must give the offerings made by fire to the Lord and the drink offerings that go with them. The smell of these offerings will please the Lord. The offerings will be food {for the people}. You must give these offerings in addition to the burnt offerings that you give every day.
The law {\cf2\super [119]} gave us only an unclear picture of the good things coming in the future. The law is not a perfect picture of the real things. The law tells people to offer the same sacrifices {\cf2\super [120]} every year. The people who come to worship God continue to offer those sacrifices. But the law can never make those people perfect.
He is not like those other priests. Those other priests had to offer (give) sacrifices {\cf2\super [75]} every day. They had to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people. But Christ doesn’t need to do that. Christ offered only one sacrifice for all time. Christ offered himself.
