Is Jesus Christ a Priest? and as a Priest, Does He Sacrifice? So do the Saints too. The Apostle Exhorts the Romans, That they offer up themselves a reasonable sacrifice. As a Priest, 1does He make Intercession? So 'tis said concerning the Saints, in the 8. of the Romans: The Spirit of God that is upon them, makes Intercession with groans that cannot be expressed. As a Priest, does Jesus Christ, as our great high-Priest, Enter into the Holy of Holiest? that you will say belonged unto the Priest alone, and none might enter into the Holiest, and the Holy of Holiest but the Priest. So do the Saints too: See I pray, what Communion, and fellowship the Saints have with Jesus Christ: Says he, in the 10. of the Heb. and the 19. ver. Having therefore, Brethren, boldness to enter into the Holiest by the Blood of Jesus; by a new and living way &c. Is our high Priest entered into the Holy of Holest as a high Priest? You shall have Communion in His Priestly Office too: and as He entered into the Holy of Holiest: so shall you too. Thus you see, there is an Answerableness in the Saints, with what is in Christ. And indeed, herein does our Spiritual Regeneration, go beyond our Generation: ⟨p. 122⟩For, though a child be like unto the father in this, that he is a man like the father, and he hath a head like the father, and arms, and legs like the father: yet his feature may not be like the fathers, lineaments not alike: But now, in our Spiritual Regeneration, there is such a likeness; as whatsoever Grace, or Holiness is in Jesus Christ, there is somewhat in all the Saints that is Answerable thereunto.
