The harmony of the divine attributes in the contrivance and accomplishment of man's redemption…

So Christ was once offered to bear the Sins of many, and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin. As there is no other natural death to suffer between Death and Judgment, so there is no other propitiatory Sacrifice between his all-sufficient Death on the Cross, and the last coming of our Redeemer. There is one Consideration I shall add, to show the great difference between Legal Sacrifices and the Death of Christ as ⟨p. 667⟩to its saving virtue. The Law absolutely forbids the eating of Blood, and the peoples tasting of the Sin-offerings; to signify the imperfection of those Sacrifices. For since they were consumed in their Consecration to Gods Justice, and nothing was left for the nourishment of the Offerers, 'twas a sign they could not appease God. The Offerers had communion with them when they brought them to the Altar, and in a manner derived their guilt to them, but they had no virtue by them in coming from it. The Sinner conveyed death to the Sacrifice, but did not receive life from it. But Christ the Lamb of God was not swallowed up in his Offering to Divine Justice: 'Tis his peculiar Glory that He hath completely made Satisfaction. We may feed upon the flesh of this precious Victim, and drink his Blood. As He entered into communion of Death with us, so we are partakers of Life by Him.
