Ans. 1. It cannot be offered to them, with a possibility of their acceptance or benefit, till it be first offered for them to the Father: That which is offered is [a Christ that hath redeemed us; with his benefits] A Christ that hath not redeemed or ransomed us, is a gift that would not save us, if he were offered by God and accepted by us.
2. Indeed Christs Sacrifice for sin was offered only to the Father, and is not at all offered to us. Christ himself is offered to us, but not as a Sacrifice, but as a Ransomer, or one that was a Sacrifice offered to God for us, and now would be a Head and Husband to us. His benefits also by this Sacrifice merited are offered to us, but not the Sacrifice it self.
