Again. Was the Sin Offering for the Congregation, to be Slain? Truly, Our Lord Jesus Christ, felt nothing less than the very pains of Death for our Sin; Death, very Death, is the Doom of Sin. Tis therefore said of our Lord Jesus Christ; He became obedient unto Death, even the Death of the Cross. The Almighty God said unto our Lord Jesus Christ, as Abraham said unto his only Isaac, My Son, Go Die! He Dyed most Obediently.
