Forgiveness Can Be a Reminder of Sin
A woman came to me one time who had done something maybe fifteen years before that was pretty bad. Her husband told her, "I want you to know I forgive you totally."
She said, "I know he's forgiven me because every week of my life, he tells me he's forgiven me." That's what the writer of Hebrews is saying here about the sacrificial system. It was a reminder of the sin over and over again.
