Bible Note: Joe, "Hebrews makes many points, so I am not absolutely sure to which one you refer. If you mean the statement that the blood of sacrificial bulls and goats can never take away sins, then I would agree and add that neither can water nor bread and wine. Still, the faithful Israelite participated in this ritual. Was it an empty symbol or was there a union between this sacrifice and the atoning work of the Lamb of God?" So why did we not just go on using the signs of the Old Covenant after Jesus' sacrifice if He had made them efficaious? Because the real had come to fulfill the shadow as I previously cited. Was anyone baptized into Jesus before Jesus or as Paul says were they "baptized into Moses? Did Jesus ever say of bulls or any other animal: "this is my body" or "this is my blood"? And why did we not just go on using the signs of the Old Covenant after Jesus' sacrifice if He had made them efficaious? Anyway, just a few thoughts I wanted to bring out. Emmaus |
