pointed
to offer
up their
prayers
and praises unto
God
at
these times
of
the
morning and evening
sacrifice,
as
the everlasting
means of the
acceptance
of
our morning
and evening worship before
God, making
all
our
services
acceptable to
the great
and blessed
God
in
heaven
hereby.
Therefore
when
we
come to
lift up our morning wor-
ship,
or
our
evening addresses, to the throne,
let
us
remember
that
Jesus, the Lamb
who
was
slain,
is
there
for
.ever,
making
this
new
and
living
way
to
the
throne
plain, and keeping
it
always
open
by
the virtue
of
his
sacrifice.
Let
not
a
morning or evening
pass,,
without
an
address
to
heaven in this
blood.
3d Lesson.
This
gives sufficient
and
perpetual notice
of
the everlasting intercession which
Christ
makes
for
the
saints
;
Heb.
vii. 25.
And therefore
he
is
repre-
sented,
as
"
able
to
save
to
the uttermost
all those
that
come
unto
God
by
him.
There
is
no need
of
other
high
-
priests
to
offer
up
daily
sacrifices,
since
the one
sacrifice
of
Jesus, the great High
-
priest,
in
the
constant
emblem
of
it,
abides here
before
.the
face
of
God, for
ever;
John
i. 29.

John

Behold
the Lamb of God,
who,
by
his
blood,
cleanseth
us
from all
sin.

"
Though
our
sins may be as
scarlet," they shall all
be
washed away
;
and our garments
be as
"
white as
snow,"
or
made.
white
"
as wool,
and
fit
to
appear
before
God
continually,
without
blemishes and defilement,
through
this abounding fountain,
which may
be
said to
flow
for
ever
from the wounds
of Jesus
Christ,
as
a sacrifice;
since
it
is
in
and
by
this,blood, our
High- priest
may be
supposed for ever to plead
with
the
Father
for
our pardon
and acceptance
:
For
the intercession
of
Christ
is
scarcely revealed unto
us, as
carried
on by
the
actual
voice
or
language
of
Jesus
the Son
of God
in heaven
;
but
perhaps
it rather
means
the everlasting virtue
and
efficacy
of
his
sacrifice, as his blood, which
has
a
voice
in
it,
even as
"
a
fountain,
always
open
and
flowing
in
the
sight
of
God,
for
the
forgiveness
of
sins;
Zec.
xiii.

.
for
all the
true Israel
of
God
:
And
in
this sense,
the
blood
of Jesus,
as
is
elsewhere said
concerning
"the
blood
of
Abel"
has a
voice
in it,
and pleads for ever for
better
things
than
the
blood of
Abel
did
;
Heb. xii. 24.
Glory
be to
God
for
providing
this
everlasting
sacrifice,
