Hebrews 10:6

French (J.N. Darby) 1885

Tu n'as pas pris plaisir aux holocaustes ni aux sacrifices pour le péché;

Que signifie ce verset ?

This verse says that God didn't want or enjoy burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin. It's part of a larger discussion about how Jesus' sacrifice makes the old system of animal sacrifices unnecessary.

Expliqué aux enfants

Imagine you made a mess in your room, and instead of cleaning it up yourself, you tried to give mommy or daddy a toy as an apology. But they want you to fix what you did wrong, not just give them a gift. This is like that: God wants us to do better, not just bring offerings.

Contexte historique

The Book of Hebrews was written around the end of the first century AD by an unknown author to Jewish Christians who were considering returning to Judaism. The audience faced pressure and persecution but also had a background in Old Testament practices like sacrifices.

Application pour aujourd'hui

Today, this verse can remind us that God values our actions and hearts over symbolic gestures. For example, if someone does something wrong at work, they need to take responsibility and make things right rather than just offering an apology or gift.
