Commentary on Hebrews 8:11

Theological / Devotional

They shall not teach. There would be no need of continual admonition and counsel, for men would have a personal religious experience. Christians could now have direct access to God without an intermediary, the Levitical priesthood. They would be “led by the Spirit of God” (Rom. 8:14), “taught of God” (1 Thess. 4:9), and would have “an unction from the Holy One, and . . . know all things” (1 John 2:20). From early times Christians have had the entire canon of Scripture to teach them about God. However, this does not rule out the need of spiritual instructors. As gifts God has given to the church “pastors” and “teachers” (Eph. 4:11). Compare GC 485.

All shall know me. That is, all Christians will have a personal knowledge of God, no matter what their age, social standing, or mental equipment.
