“For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”
Hebrews 10:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Hebrews 10:4
'It is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.' This categorical statement declares the fundamental inadequacy of animal sacrifices. They could provide ceremonial cleansing and point to Christ, but they lacked power to remove sin's guilt. Human sin requires a human substitute; voluntary sin requires a voluntary substitute. Animals could never truly satisfy divine justice for human rebellion.
