First,¹ That his Sacrifice might be voluntary, and so accepted of the Father. Sacrifice and offering for sin thou wouldst not, neither hadst pleasure therein, which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo I come to do thy will, O God, Heb. 10. 8, 9. Whoever was to offer a Sacrifice, was to bring it himself, and deliver it up, and himself with it, and it must be offered ⟨p. 157⟩willingly: Whether it was the Congregation that had committed a sin, or whether it were any particular person, they were to bring their oblation: Any Sacrifice that a man would have accepted, he must bring it to the door of the Tabernacle, Lev. 4. 4. 14. 23. The Priest must not fetch it: If any would bring their Sacrifice they might; but if they were extorted from them, they were not accepted: So the Lord Jesus must come and freely offer up himself, as one that was to be presented in the stead of all the Elect: He offered himself a Surety of the Covenant; we should have brought it, but we had it not in our hearts: But he brings himself, and lays down his life of himself, and takes it up again, John 10. 18.
