I. THE CHRISTIAN ERA IS GOD'S LAST DISPENSATION WITH MEN ON EARTH.

II. THE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST IS THE GREAT FACT OF THIS ERA.

1. Self-immolation.

2. Self-immolation for all ages.

3. Never to be repeated.

III. THE GREAT END OF CHRIST'S SACRIFICE WAS THE PUTTING AWAY OF SIN. This fact serves —

1. To correct theological errors.

2. To determine the value of our religion.

3. To show the true aim of philanthropy.

4. To foreshadow the happy state of the world when Christianity shall have accomplished its work.

(Homilist.)

KJV: And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
