A. It hath two parts. First, Oblation, or offering of himself. Heb. 9.14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your consciences from dead works to serve the living God. Secondly, Intercession for us. Heb. 7.25. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost, that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Q 3. What is the end of Christ's Oblation?
A. The end of it as to God, it was to satisfy his Incensed Justice. Rom. 3.25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation […]mission ⟨p. 55⟩of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. And as to men, to put away their sins. Heb. 9.26. For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world, but now once in the end of the world, he hath appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
