Sixthly, His sanctifying himself for us, plainly speaks the Vicegerency of his death, that it was in our room or stead. When the Priest Consecrated the Sacrifice, it was set apart for the people. So it's said of the scape Goat, And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live Goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the Children of Israel; and all their transgressions, in all their sins: putting them upon the head of the Goat. And shall send him away by the hand of a fit man, into the Wilderness, Levit. 16.21. Thus Isa. 53.6.7. He stood in our room, to bear our burden.. And as Aaron laid the iniquities of the people upon the Goat, so were ours laid on Christ. It was said to him in that day, on thee be their Pride, their Unbelief, their hardness of heart, their vain thoughts, their earthly mindedness, &c. Thou art Consecrated for them, to be the Sacrifice in their room. His death was in our stead, as well as for our good. And so much his sanctifying himself [for us] imports.
