Hebrews 10:11-14

Hebrews 10:11-14

[11] And  every  priest  standeth  daily  ministering  and  offering  oftentimes  the same  sacrifices,  which  can  never  take away  sins:  [12] But  after he had offered  sacrifice  for  sins  for  ever,  sat down  on  the right hand  of God;  [13] From henceforth  expecting  till  his  enemies  be made  his  footstool.  [14] For  offering  he hath perfected  for  ever  them that are sanctified. 

What does Hebrews 10:11-14 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The writer stressed the finality of Jesus Christ"s offering further with the contrast in these verses. [1] The Levitical priests never sat down because they never finished their work, but Jesus Christ sat down beside His Father because He finished His work.
"A seated priest is the guarantee of a finished work and an accepted sacrifice." [2]
Jesus Christ now awaits the final destruction of His enemies. Those who "are sanctified" ( Hebrews 10:14) are those whom Jesus Christ has perfected and are consequently fully acceptable to God (i.e, all believers). [3]
Jesus Christ"s sacrifice has accomplished three things for us. It has cleansed our consciences from guilt, it has fitted us to approach God as worshippers, and it has fulfilled what the Old Testament promised.
