Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. – The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. – It is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. … By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. |
Abel, … brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. … The Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering. – Christ … hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor. |
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. – Having … boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. |
