V. 26.— For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself In that case He must often have suffered since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world, 1 Corinthians 10:11, He hath appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. When the tabernacle was reared, and when Aaron and his sons were consecrated, fire came down and consumed the burnt-offering upon the altar. Thus the Lord testified his approbation of the conduct of Moses in obeying the instructions which he had received. This fire was not to be extinguished. It alone was to be employed in consuming the sacrifices, and two of Aaron’ s sons were struck dead for using strange fire. Many sacrifices continued to be offered in Israel; but still the Lord’ s fire, and His furnace in Jerusalem, continued to demand its victims. It did not say, "It is enough; from day today and from year to year,” it still cried, “Give, give.” Like the grave, it was not satisfied: but now once in the end of the world Christ appeared effectually to remove sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Thus the demands of justice were fully satisfied, and Christ by His resurrection abolished death and showed His people the path of life.
