1 | Offering? Or having offered... | Hebrews | Emmaus | 88268 | ||
Joe, I must confess your question (How was Christ's sacrifice "made present" to those who lived before the Incarnation?)is one I have never encountered before, so I am reluctant to give any "authoritative" answer. But since the Eucharist is a sacrament of faith, I would suspect that the faith of the Old Testament saints comes into play in any answer. What do you think? Emmaus |

"But since the Eucharist is a sacrament of faith, I would suspect that the faith of the Old Testament saints comes into play in any answer. What do you think?" Well, I hold to a different sacramentology than you do, of course, so I can associate the OT sacrificial system (particularly the Passover feast) with the Lord's Table in the NT. But I would agree that the faith of both OT saints and NT saints is definitely a given. --Joe! |

Joe, "Well, I hold to a different sacramentology than you do, of course, so I can associate the OT sacrificial system (particularly the Passover feast) with the Lord's Table in the NT. But I would agree that the faith of both OT saints and NT saints is definitely a given." Our sacramentology may be different, but not so different that I can not also associate the Passover feast with the Lord's table. It is different to the extent that I do not associate them as being equal in efficacy, since the Passover feast was a "making present" the Passover in Egypt and the "Lord's Table" " makes present" the fulfillment of what the Passover in Egypt foreshadowed, which is "Christ our Passover." This is an interesting topic which we have touched on before. In a sense the Eucharist is still a veiled presence and a "pledge of the glory to come" in its fullness only with the Second Coming and the resurrection of our bodies. It is as a sacrament of faith, "the substance of things hoped for" so to speak. But I may be getting in over my head here. Emmaus |
