| Hebrews 9:28 | *So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many; the second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation. Romans 5:9.; 1 Peter 3:18. | To exhaust the sins of many. That is, of all, according to the style of the Scriptures. When he came first, he took upon him the load of our sins; but at his second coming, at the end of the world, he will come in a quite different manner, not as laden with our sins, not after the similitude of a sinful man, not to redeem us, but with great power and majesty to judge all men. (Witham) --- To exhaust. That is, to empty or draw out to the very bottom, by a plentiful and perfect redemption. (Challoner) |
