All the legal Sacrifices, ordained of God, and offered under the Law, were only Types of that one great Victim; the offering up of the Body of our Saviour, once for all, upon the Cross. He was the Substance; the others were but Shadows. By one Offering, he hath for ever perfected them that are sanctified, Heb. x. 14. Our Debt was thus paid; Justice is satisfied; the Law is fulfilled; all its Curse, and all its Penalty, with all our Sins, met together in Christ. He nailed them to the Cross, and signed our Release in Blood! If Righteousness could be by the Law, then Christ dyed in vain, Gal. ii. 21. Whatever else a Sinner offers to God, in Order to his Justification, save the Blood of Christ, is rejected of Him. He has Mercy upon us, only through the Son of his Love.
