[[God]] ordained divers kinds of oblations and sacrifices, to assure his people of the [[forgiveness]] of their offences, if they offered them in true [[faith]] and obedience. Also he appointed the priests and [[Levites]], their apparel, offices, conduct, and portion. He showed what feasts they should observe, and at what times. He declared by these sacrifices and ceremonies, that the reward of [[sin]] is death, and that without the blood of [[Christ]], the innocent Lamb of [[God]], there can be no forgiveness of sins.
The last Verse seems to have reference to this whole book. Many of the precepts in it are moral, and always binding; others are ceremonial, and peculiar to the Jewish nation; yet they have a spiritual meaning, and so teach us; for unto us, by these institutions, is the [[gospel]] preached, as well as unto them, Heb 4:2. The doctrine of reconciliation to [[God]] by a Mediator, is not clouded with the smoke of burning sacrifice, but cleared by the knowledge of [[Christ|Jesus Christ]] and him crucified. We are under the sweet and easy institutions of the [[gospel]], which pronounces those true worshippers, who [[worship]] the Father in spirit and truth, by [[Christ|Jesus Christ]] only, and in his name. Yet, let us not think, because we are not tied to the ceremonial rites and oblations, that a little care, time, and expense, will serve to honour [[God]] with. Having boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of [[Jesus]], let us draw near with a true heart, and in full assurance of faith, worshipping [[God]] with the more cheerfulness and humble confidence, still saying, BLESSED BE GOD FOR JESUS CHRIST.
