2. By what means the great Shepherd comes to have this honour conferred upon him, that he should be raised from the dead? There was worth enough in his person, but 'tis not altogether ascribed to this; but (through ⟨image 114⟩the blood of the everlasting Covenant) i.e. by, and in, the virtue and efficacy of it: he had died as a Priest, and his blood was a blood of sacrifice, and it was shed for the remission of sins, and salvation of souls; because Christ did die for so noble an end as this, and in such a manner as that his death became a sacrifice, and did seal the everlasting Covenant, wherefore Christ is the Mediator; therefore with consideration of this blood of Christ and of the ends, uses, and benefits of it: hereupon it is that Christ is raised from the dead. In Zac. 9. the resurrection of Christ was prophesied of, but by virtue of his blood-shed, so that Christ was more fit to be raised, who dyed for such noble and honourable ends, as the glory of God, and salvation of his people, in the virtue of that Covenant God hath made, and in the virtue of the blood of Christ, shed for the sealing of that Covenant.
