Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
Hebrews 13:15
Therefore: Because of what has been said throughout the book of Hebrews, namely: Jesus, our great High Priest, is superior to all!
By Him: We are about to be told to worship. Worship comes from us to Him, but we can only worship acceptably “by Him,” our Great High Priest.
Let us continually offer: Worship is not something believers do only when we are at church on the Lord’s day. Our entire lives are to be marked and characterized by worshipful attitudes toward our Great High Priest.
The sacrifice of praise: Jesus gave Himself as the once-for-all, never-to-be-repeated sacrifice for our sins. Though we offer no more sacrifices for sin, we offer the “sacrifice of praise,” to our Great High priest.
To God: To God our Heavenly Father for accepting Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins. To God the Son, Jesus, our Great High Priest, for offering Himself as our sacrifice. To God the Holy Spirit for regenerating us so that we would trust in Christ.
That is, the fruit of our lips: No more animal sacrifices! Rather, “the sacrifice of praise” in word and in song.
Giving thanks to His name: Considering our Great High Priest, what can we do but give thanks!?
