John Gill - Exposition

John Gill

INTRODUCTION TO Hebrews 10 In this chapter the apostle pursues his argument, showing the weakness and imperfection of the Levitical priesthood, and the superior excellency of Christ's, which he closes with suitable exhortations to faith on Christ, as the alone high priest, and to a constant profession of him. The imperfection of the Levitical priesthood is proved, from the law by which it was...

John Gill - Exposition

John Gill

By the which will we are sanctified,.... That is, by the sacrifice of Christ, which was willingly offered up by himself, and was according to the will of God; it was his will of purpose that Christ should be crucified and slain; and it was his will of command, that he should lay down his life for his people; and it was grateful and well pleasing to him, that his soul should be made an offering...

Matthew Henry

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Or, “once.” It can never be offered again. The presence of offering up the body and the blood of Christ in the mass is sheer profanity. It has been done once, and there is no need of a repetition. To suppose that it could be repeated, is to imply that it was incomplete on the first occasion; but it...

By the which will- The will which Christ fulfilled in life and in death: “By the which will” — Heb_10:10. We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once. Only one sacrifice was required. The key-word here is that little word “once.” Let it not only sound in your ears, but be written in your hearts. Jesus Christ died once, he brought his sacrifice once, he put away our...
