The Berean – Hebrews 10:4 NKJV

  Hebrews 10:4

(4) For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 
New King James Version   Change your email Bible version

Do we grasp a serious ramification of this statement? It was never possible for animal blood to remove sins! If it was not possible in Paul’s day, it was not possible in Old Testament times either. No one, including the Old Testament heroes, was ever forgiven through an animal sacrifice, nor was anyone saved by works of the law. Forgiveness and salvation by grace were not new to the New Testament.

The offerings were continuously repeated and detailed portrayals of what sin does – it kills – and what Christ’s sacrifice would accomplish – reconciliation with God. Hebrews 10:3 says they served as reminders of sin. They were and remain as teaching vehicles since their spiritual purposes are shown elsewhere in God’s Word. Hebrews 10:5-10 adds:

Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come – to do Your will, O God.'” Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. By that will we have been sanctified through the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

How can a person truly live by every word of God if he casts these things aside as useless to daily life? How do they apply to us today? They apply in the spirit, which is their true intent. Jesus Christ is the object of each of the offerings, that is, they portray His activities as a man. However, three of them, the burnt, grain (or meal), and peace offerings, do not deal with sin. Only the trespass and sin offerings depict Christ’s death for our sins.

Very briefly, the whole burnt offering pictures Jesus Christ’s total devotion to God. His life was completely consumed as an offering to God every minute He lived. It pictures His fulfilling the first of the two great commandments of the law (Matthew 22:37): Jesus loved God with all His heart, soul, and mind.

Along with the burnt offering, the meal offeringrepresents Christ’s dedicated service, but this time to man, fulfilling the second of the two great commandments (verse 39): He loved His neighbor as Himself. Sharing His consuming love for God showed His consummate love for man.

The peace offering represents the fruit of all of Jesus’ sacrificial labors on behalf of God and mankind, including those symbolized by the sin and trespass offerings. The peace offering shows God, the High Priest, and man fellowshipping together, sharing a common meal in peace and thanksgiving.

Before leaving Jesus’ example, we need to consider whether we are ever tempted to think that Jesus dream-walked through life like an actor on a stage. Do we ever feel that He must have had it easy because He was also God, and so could easily overcome any temptation that crossed His path? While it is true that, even as a man, He never stopped being God, He was also a man and thus encumbered with human feelings, and that nature within Him opened the door to sore temptations. Hebrews 2:16-18 reflects this, as does Hebrews 4:15-16.

It is important on several fronts to allow this reality’s impact to affect us. Why? Because Jesus is our example, and we are to follow in His footsteps. Even though He was the Son of God, His Father did not lay out an easy course for Him. For instance, He rarely escaped almost continuous confrontations by angry people. By itself, this was a great burden. The pressure from this trial culminated in His crucifixion and all it entailed.

Jesus had to work at succeeding in His responsibilities. Each day was a sacrificial offering for Him on behalf of God and men. Thus, He is our example in this too. He gave of Himself, laying down His life for His friends, not only as an offering for sin, but also in daily service as a servant.

It will become clear that He did not engage in this labor so we could escape the responsibilities of our assignments. If we are to walk the same path behind our Example, does it not follow that we will face the same basic difficulties He did? God promises that our responsibilities will be in measure to our gifts (I Corinthians 10:13; Romans 12:6-8), but He did not do it all for us.

Do we not have work to do to follow Him? Once a person is converted, can anybody keep the commandments for him? Can a person be a proxy for another before God? Can anyone live any part of life for another? People can do things on another’s behalf, but they cannot live life for anybody else.

The Martyr Village of Oradour-sur-Glane

Where only six survived the Nazi massacre

The Martyr Village of Oradour-sur-Glane

On June 6, 1944, Allied troops landed in Normandy and began the liberation of France. German commanders quickly realized that groups of the French Resistance could aid the invasion by carrying out acts of sabotage, slowing down German reinforcements headed for Normandy. They stepped up their efforts to stamp out resistance through merciless retaliation against French freedom fighters.
One unit involved in these efforts was the battle-hardened 2nd SS Panzer Division “Das Reich”, a veteran of the Eastern front with a history of atrocities committed against civilians. The division was on its way north, but their progress was hampered by local Resistance efforts. Men from the division have hanged 99 men in the town of Tulle in central France on the 9th of June as one act of reprisal; but they gained even greater infamy through their actions the next day.A Tiger tank from the 2nd SS Panzer Division in Normandy in 1944

One particular officer of the division, SS-Sturmbannführer Helmut Kämpfe, was captured by Communist guerillas on the 9th and killed the next day, allegedly by being burned alive. The Germans received news of his capture, and probably of his death, the same day, and a personal friend of his, SS-SturmbannführerAdolf Diekmann, was placed in charge of the reprisal. Diekmann was a true admirer of National Socialism and used to train new recruits at the SS training facility for future SS leaders in Bad Tölz and fought already in Poland in 1939 among the ranks of the SS “Germania” regiment. We don’t really know why Diekmann chose Oradour-sur-Glane as the target for the reprisal, but one particular theory claims that the Germans were acting on the reports of informants, and have accidentally confused the place with another village, Oradour-sur-Vayres, located some 15 miles / 24 km away. Beside the similar name, the two villages were of a very similar size and population, they had similar natural environments, and a similar road layout. It’s possible that the Germans actually intended to destroy Oradour-sur-Vayres and simply went to the wrong village because of misunderstood directions.Helmut Kämpfe, whose death sparked the massacre

It is certain that Diekmann’s forces soon showed up in the unsuspecting village on halftracks and trucks. The locals (and six others who just happened to be bicycling through the village) were quickly rounded up under the pretense of searching the village for weapons, and the women and children were separated from the men. The former were ushered into the local church building, while the latter were told to empty a nearby barn of the carriages stored inside and then go in. While some of the SS troops looted the village, others have set up machine guns around the two buildings in preparation of the massacre.Adolf Diekmann, the SS officer responsible for the massacre, with his son

When the order was given, an incendiary device was placed either next to the church or inside it, and then detonated. Women and children trying to get out through the doors and the windows were machine gunned down. Meanwhile, soldiers around the men’s barn opened up with their own machine guns, aiming them at leg height to render the victims inside unable to walk. Once the firing ceased, SS men went inside, covered the wounded in straw, and set the barn on fire. Later that night, when the killings ended, the village was partially razed.WebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeA September 1944 photograph of the ruins of Oradour-sur-Glane

There were only a few survivors. Some fifteen to twenty residents fled the village at the first sight of the Germans, and either six or seven more managed to escape the slaughter after it began. Two women and a child escaped the church through the rear window of the sacristy. All three were hit by bullets, but one of them, 47-year-old Marguerite Rouffanche, made it to the bushes and hid overnight. A few of the men also escaped. Five were miraculously protected from machine gun fire by the bodies of others standing near them, and they used their knives to break through the rotting wooden wall of the barn into the adjacent one. Two of the five were trapped in a burning cellar while hiding from Germans who peeked inside the other barn, and a third man was wounded and could not follow the others. 19-year-old Robert Hébras and his friend, Mathieu Borie, eventually reached the edge of the village and disappeared into the night. Hébras, 96 years old today, is the last survivor of the massacre.A 2019 photograph of Robert Hébras, the last living survivor, at the site of the massacre

642 were murdered that day: 245 women, 190 men, and 207 children. Seven of them were Jewish refugees hiding in the village. The war in Western Europe was generally less brutal than the Eastern Front, and the events at Oradour-sur-Glane even outraged some of the Nazis. Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, General Walter Gleiniger and the Vichy government all voiced their protests, and Diekmann’s superior, SS-Standardenführer Sylvester Stadler, decided that an investigation was warranted. The investigation ended in early 1945 and concluded that Diekmann’s actions were justified. Diekmann, however, could no longer rejoice at the news. He died in action against Allied forces in Normandy in Noyers-Bocage near Caen on June 29, along with many of the soldiers present at the massacre. He is buried at the La Cambe German war cemetery not far from Omaha Beach.Diekmann’s grave at the La Cambe German war cemetery

Post-war trials of surviving perpetrators never went very far. Many of the participants were living in East Germany, and the Communist government there refused to cooperate in bringing them to justice. Some were French nationals forcefully drafted in the SS against their will, and were not punished. Only two war criminals implicated in the atrocity were eventually executed, and five more faced prison sentence.Sylvester Stadler, the Nazi who ordered an investigation into the massacre, in Russia

After the war, French Head of State, Charles de Gaulle, decided that the destroyed village should not be rebuilt, but instead preserved as a “Martyr Village” similar to other sites that were destroyed in World War One. A new village of the same name was built next to the remains, while the ruins remain a permanent memorial and museum.Aerial photo of the remains of the village

Sun Devil Baseball

Sun Devil Nation, After speaking with Tracy Smith this afternoon, we have decided by mutual agreement that Coach Smith will not return as the head coach for Sun Devil Baseball next season. Decisions like this are never easy to make, but I want to thank Tracy for his efforts over the last seven years. We are committed to returning Sun Devil baseball back to one of the country’s elite programs and will look for a leader who can help us compete for Pac-12 titles, consistently host postseason competitions and return us to the College World Series. We will begin a search for a new head coach immediately, and will be deliberate in securing a leader that is the best fit for the program and our university.
