Quote to Consider
Herman Hoeksema on Lord’s Day 14: “Because [Christ] had no original sin, and he was free from the guilt of Adam’s sin and from the defilement of the human nature, he could offer himself up to God, a Lamb without spot or blemish, and perform that act of obedience that constituted the perfect yes over against the no of the entire human race. Thus he blotted out the guilt of all our sins, even of the sins in which we were conceived and born. The Son of God in the flesh is the perfect high priest who can save to the uttermost everyone who through him goes to God. By one sacrifice he has forever perfected all his own” (The Death of the Son of God, p. 214).
