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.
Calvin on the Text saith thus [Hostiam ergo iis residuam esse negat qui a Christi morte discedunt; quod non fit particulari aliquo delicto, sed abjecta in totum fide, &c. Nam quum mors Christi unicum sit Remedium quo ab aeterna morte liberamur, qui vi• ⟨p. 338⟩illius atque beneficium quantum in se est abolent, nonne digni sunt quibus preter desperationem nihil reliquum fiat? Qui in Christo manent, eas ad quotidianam reconciliationem Deus invitat: Quotidie irrigantur Christi sanguine: Quotidie expiantur eorum peccata perpetuo ejus Sacrificio, si extra eam non est quaerenda salus, ne miremur omnes qui eum sponte relinquent, omni spe veniae privari, &c. Eos igitur solos notat Apostolus qui Christum impiè deferendo mortis ejus beneficio see privant.
