CHRIST'S DEATH SACRIFI-

Ps. x1, 6-8. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart.

Dan. ix, 27. And he shall conform the covenant with many for one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the over-spreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Heb. x, 1-5, 10, 11, 17--19, 21, 22. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices, which they offered year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect: For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. By the which will we are sanctified, through the appeared, to put away sin by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering, and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. And their sins and inquities will I remember no more. Now, where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Heb. xiii, 10-12. We have an

altar, whereof they have no right

to eat which serve the tabernacle.
For the bodies of those beasts,
whose blood is brought into the
sanctuary by the high priest for
sin, are burned without the camp.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he
might sanctify the people with
his own blood, suffered without
the gate.

Heb. x, 5-9, 14. Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burntofferings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure: Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God. Above, when he said, Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and offering for sin, thou wouldest not, neither

hadst pleasure therein; (which are offered by the law:) Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are

sanctified.
