The Virtue of the Blood of Christ | The Whole Counsel

His first argument here is that there's such virtue in the blood of Christ because Jesus did actually

Suffer the legal and full curse of the offended and the broken law And he does this in his body in a real physical death where he he actually suffers and he gives a quote

Where he says God was not angry with Christ for taking his office upon him But for our sins his anger was directed toward our sin not because he took the office

God's wrath burned against him. God looked on him as if he were the guilty person

God looked upon him as the object of his vindictive justice and Jesus was pursued by divine vengeance for our sins

The second argument he gives for why there is such a virtue to cleanse our sins in the death of Christ Is that Jesus suffered as the eternal son of God and not just as the sinless man

And he gives a couple of verses here 1st Corinthians 2 8 they crucified the

Lord of glory Acts 3 15 they killed the prince of life This one really answers the objection that comes to our minds when we look at the magnitude of our sins

So we look at the frequency perhaps of a heinous sin We you know the repetitive nature in our life and we wonder have

I sinned against God one too many times you know has the pile grown so high and so it's good to contrast that the

Size of our sin, which is terrible with the infinite Dignity and magnitude of the sin -bearer.
