Евреям 9:28

Christ--Greek, "THE Christ"; the representative MAN; representing all men, as the first Adam did. once offered--not "often," Heb 9:25; just as "men," of whom He is the representative Head, are appointed by God once to die. He did not need to die again and again for each individual, or each successive generation of men, for He represents all men of every age, and therefore needed to die but once for all, so as to exhaust the penalty of death incurred by all. He was offered by the Father, His own "eternal Spirit" (Heb 9:14) concurring; as Abraham spared not Isaac, but offered him, the son himself unresistingly submitting to the father's will (Gen. 22:1-24). to bear the sins--referring to Isa 53:12, "He bare the sins of many," namely, on Himself; so "bear" means, Lev 24:15; Num 5:31; Num 14:34. The Greek is literally "to bear up" (Pe1 2:24). "Our sins were laid on Him. When, therefore, He was lifted up on the cross, He bare up our sins along with Him" [BENGEL]. many--not opposed to all, but to few. He, the One, was offered for many; and that once for all (compare Mat 20:28). look for him--with waiting expectation even unto the end (so the Greek). It is translated "wait for" in Rom 8:19, Rom 8:23; Co1 1:7, which see. appear--rather, as Greek, "be seen." No longer in the alien "form of a servant," but in His own proper glory. without sin--apart from, separate from, sin. Not bearing the sin of many on Him as at His first coming (even then there was no sin in Him). That sin has been at His first coming once for all taken away, so as to need no repetition of His sin offering of Himself (Heb 9:26). At His second coming He shall have no more to do with sin. unto salvation--to bring in completed salvation; redeeming then the body which is as yet subject to the bondage of corruptio…

The apostle, having declared the Old Testament dispensation antiquated and vanishing away, proceeds to let the Hebrews see the correspondence there was between the Old Testament and the New; and that whatever was excellent in the Old was typical and representative of the New, which therefore must as far excel the Old as the substance does the shadow. The Old Testament was never intended to be rested in, but to prepare for the institutions of the gospel. And here he treats, I. Of the tabernacle, the place of worship (Heb 9:1-5). II. Of the worship and services performed in the tabernacle (Heb 9:6, Heb 9:7). III. He delivers the spiritual sense and the main design of all (Heb 9:8 to the end).
