§. 180. Of Reconciliation made by Christ.
The most principal aend of Christs Priesthood is thus expressed, To make reconciliation for the sins of the people. bThe Greek word translated, to make reconciliation for, hath reference sometimes to the party offended, and signifieth to be propitious or merciful in pardoning the offence, as where the penitent Publican thus said to God, cBe merciful unto me a sinner, Luk. 18. 13. Sometimes to the thing which giveth the offence; Then it signifieth to expiate, or to make satisfaction for, and that so as the party offended be pacified thereby. Thus it is here taken, and it importeth as much as this phrase, He purged our sins, Heb. 1. 3. To this purpose also tendeth our English Translation of this word in this Text, to make reconciliation for sins, that is, to use such means as may pacify God, against whom sins are committed, and thereby reconcile God and sinners.
