Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me; In whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hadst no pleasure: Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God." — Hebrews 10:5-7 (ASV)
Into the world, He says, Sacrifice and offering You would not, but a body You have prepared for me: in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have had no pleasure. Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do Your will, O God. (Hebrews 10:5–7)
Types were no longer needed when the great Antitype had come.
Christ was no longer pre-figured, for He was there in person. He put away the old shadows of the blood of bulls and goats when He brought His own real sacrifice, the true atonement for sin.
He saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
That will had not been done, although myriads of sacrifices had been offered. But Christ came really to do that will by offering himself as the one and only acceptable sacrifice.
