Hebrews 13:10-16
(Lesson 24)

Introduction:
 

         1. Hebrews 13 contains a number of instructions that are designed to help the Lord's people remain
             faithful to Him, especially during times of affliction.
             a. (vs.1-3) We are to show love and hospitality to others.
             b. (vs.4) We are to maintain faithfulness and purity in our marriage relations.
             c. (vs.5-6) We must avoid covetousness, and we are to be content.
             d. (vs.7) We are to remember those who have taught us.
             e. (vs.8-9) We are to follow Christ's example of steadfastness.
         2. (vs.10-16) We are to offer sacrifices.

Discussion:

I.           (vs.10-12) CHRIST  IS  OUR  EXAMPLE  OF  SACRIFICE

         A. (vs.10) Christians "have an altar" [place of sacrifice].
             1. It is not like the altar of the Old Testament (Exodus 27:1-8).
             2. Those who serve the tabernacle have no right to this altar -- it is only for Christians.
         B. There is a similarity between the Lord's sacrifice and Old Testament sacrifices.
             1. (vs.11) The bodies of the animals whose blood was brought into the sanctuary were burned
                 "without the camp" (Leviticus 16:27-28).
             2. (vs.12) Jesus, who gave Himself as a sacrifice for sins, was crucified "without the gate" [outside
                 the city -- John 19:16-20].
         C. The Lord's sacrifice is far greater than any animal sacrifice (7:26-27; 10:11-12).
         D. In addition to offering Himself as a sacrifice, . . .

II.          (vs.13-16) THE  LORD'S  FOLLOWERS  ARE  TO  OFFER  SACRIFICES

         A. Our sacrifices are greater than those offered under the old covenant in that they are "living"
             (Romans 12:1-2) and "spiritual" (1 Peter 2:5).
         B. (vs.13-14) We are to bear the Lord's reproach (1 Peter 4:12-16).
             1. To do this we must go to Him without the camp.
             2. We do this because we do not have a "continuing [lasting] city" (11:8-10, 13-16).
             3. We look for a city "to come" (2 Peter 3:13-14).
         C. (vs.15) We are to offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually by Christ (Ephesians 5:19-20;
             Colossians 3:16-17).
         D. (vs.16) We are to do good and communicate (Romans 12:13; Galatians 6:9-10).
             1. God is pleased with such sacrifices (Philippians 4:18).
             2. He will not forget them (Hebrews 6:10).
