4 Why Christ was circumcised.
Christ was circumcised, 1. That he might signify that he was also a member of that circumcised people. 2. That he might show, that he received and took our sins on himself, that he might satisfy for them. 3. That he might testify that he did entirely and fully fulfil the law in our behalf. 4. The circumcision of Christ was a part also of his humiliation and Ransom.
