Hebrews 10:10-13
What is written? (ESV)
And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet.
What does it say?
Jesus sacrificed Himself to make us holy. Different from the priests’ sacrifices under the Old Law that could never take away sins, Jesus’ single sacrifice for sins was for all time. After His sacrifice, He sat down [in heaven] at the right hand of God [the Father] where He is now waiting until His enemies are conquered.
What is its immediate context?
The Hebrews writer is reminding Hebrew Christians all of the ways in which the New Covenant of Christ is better than what they left behind in the Old Covenant of Moses.
