Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, We want just that high priest who would live on throughout all the ages for ever to sustain his people, and do for them all they should need to have done for them, until time...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: For this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. That is, a sanctuary belonging to this world, a visible sanctuary. That first covenant was to a large degree a thing of outward rites and ceremonies, which the new covenant is not; that is a covenant of spiritual and unseen realities.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. That is to say, a material sanctuary, a sanctuary made out of such things as this world contains. Under the old covenant, there were certain outward symbols. Under the new covenant, we have not the symbols, but we have the substance itself. The old law...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread: which is called the sanctuary. Or, “the Holy Place.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna,...

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; All this was by divine appointment; the form of the rooms, the style of the furniture, everything was ordained of God; and that not...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All; which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot...

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. It would not have been to the point which the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priest went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: It was necessary that you should take away the sacred tent, the tabernacle, ay, and take away the temple, too, before you could learn the spiritual meaning of them. You must break the shell to get at the kernel. So God had ordained....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. But Christ being come an high priest...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Which was a figure for the time then present, Only a figure, and only meant for “the time then present.” It was the childhood of the Lord’s people; it was a time when, as yet, the light had not fully broken in upon spiritual eyes, so they must be taught by picture-books. They must have a kind of Kindergarten for the little children, that they...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. These ordinances were only laid upon the Jews-not upon any other people-and only laid upon them until the better and brighter days of reformation and fuller illumination.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But Christ-Oh, how we seem to rise when we begin to get near to Him, away from the high priests of the Jews! “But Christ”-
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. The Jewish high priests went once a year into the Holy of Holies. Each year as it came round demanded that they should go again. Their work was never done; but “He entered in once,” and only once, “into...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Do you all feel the power of that blood now...
