The Blood of the Covenant

The sermon text will be Hebrews 9:15-22, a passage that explains why Christ, the Mediator of the New Covenant, had to die for the sins of his people. In preparation for worship, consider this summary explanation from the Westminster Confession of Faith (8.5), "The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience and sacrifice of himself—which he through the eternal Spirit once offered up to God—has fully satisfied the justice of his Father. He purchased not only reconciliation but also an everlasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven for all those whom the Father has given to him."
