“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many” (Hebrews 9:28).
Today’s verse is really only part of a verse, but very important for all of us. The previous verse (Heb. 9:27) reminds us that after we die, there is judgment to follow. There are those who try to tell us that when people die, they die just like an animal, and that is the end of their existence. But God’s Word tells us that we were created for eternity, not for time.
However, God is very quick to tell us that Christ was once offered (on the cross) to bear the sins of many. This is wonderful news, but we notice that it says, “the sins of many,” not “the sins of all.” All will not come and accept Christ as Savior, but all are invited to come. For those who accept the Lord Jesus, the judgment for their sins took place at Calvary’s cross. Sadly, for those who reject the Lord Jesus, the judgment is ahead of them. Which is it for you?
