Jesus, the equal and the only begotten Son of God, "the brightness of the glory and the express image of the person of God, in whom it pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell," interposed, in the plenitude of his grace, to make that satisfaction. When God desired not sacrifice, when he "had no pleasure in burnt offerings or sacrifices for sin," Jesus voluntarily offered up himself: "Lo, I come, to do thy will, O God." And both nature and revelation having declared, that "without shedding of blood there is no remission, Jesus took part of flesh and blood; a body was prepared him; and through the offering of that body, once for all, he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."
