§. 28. Of Christs Sacrifice making perfect.
The principal thing intended under this word sanctified, in this place is, that Christs sacrifice maketh perfect. In this respect Christs sacrifice is here opposed to the legal sacrifices which could not make perfect: So as Christs sacrifice was offered up to that which they could not do. The like is said in general of the law, Heb. 7. 19. For this end was Christs Sacrifice surrogated in the room of the legal Sacrifices. This surrogation had been in vain, if Christs Sacrifice had not made perfect.
THe principal thing intended under this word sanctified, in this place is, that Christs sacrifice maketh perfect. In this respect Christs sacrifice is here opposed to the legall sacrifices which could not make perfect: So as Christs sacrifice was offered up to that which they could not do. The like is said in general of the law, Heb. 7. 19. For this end was Christs Sacrifice surrogated in the room of the legal Sacrifices. This surrogation had been in vain, if Christs Sacrifice had not made perfect.
If the dignity of his person that was offered up, and his almighty power, unsearchable wisdom, and other divine excellencies be duly weighed, we cannot but acknowledge that his Sacrifice, as it is perfect in it self, so sufficient to make us perfect. Hereof see more Chap. 7. v. 19. §. 87. in the end, and v. 25. §. 103.
