How preachers through history handled this text
22 public-domain excerpts on Hebrews 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“The apostle having shown that the tabernacle, and ordinances of the covenant of Sinai, were only emblems and types of the gospel, concludes that the sacrifices the high priests offered continually, could not make the worshippers perfect, with respect to pardon, and the purifying of their consciences. But when "God manifested in the flesh," became the sacrifice, and his death upon the accursed tree the ransom, then the Sufferer being of infinite worth, his free-will sufferings were of infinite value. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Hebrews 10:1–10 (Public Domain)
