§1544Everything that the priesthood of the Old Covenant prefigured finds its fulfillment in Christ Jesus, the "one mediator between God and men."15 The Christian tradition considers Melchizedek, "priest of God Most High," as a prefiguration of the priesthood of Christ, the unique "high priest after the order of Melchizedek";16 "holy, blameless, unstained,"17 "by a single offering he…
1. In what has gone before he had shown that the sacrifices were unavailing for perfect purification, and were a type, and greatly defective. Since then there was this objection to his argument, If they are types, how is it that, after the truth has come, they have not ceased, nor given place, but are still performed? He here accordingly labors at this very point, showing that …
1. Trees which have been planted, and have had the advantage of all other care, and the hands and the labors of the cultivator, and yet yield no return for the labors, are pulled up by the roots, and handed over to the fire. So somewhat of this kind takes place also in the case of our Illumination. For when Christ has planted us, and we have enjoyed the watering of the Spirit, …

§72The second end is duly to give thanks to God. Only the divine Redeemer, as the eternal Father's most beloved Son whose immense love He knew, could offer Him a worthy return of gratitude. This was His intention and desire at the Last Supper when He "gave thanks."[65] He did not cease to do so when hanging upon the cross, nor does He fail to do so in the august sacrifice of the a…
§76Now the Apostle of the Gentiles proclaims the copious plenitude and the perfection of the sacrifice of the cross, when he says that Christ by one oblation has perfected for ever them that are sanctified.[72] For the merits of this sacrifice, since they are altogether boundless and immeasurable, know no limits; for they are meant for all men of every time and place. This follows…
The offering of Christ once made is that perfect redemption, propitiation, and satisfaction, for all the sins of the whole world, both original and actual; and there is none other satisfaction for sin, but that alone. Wherefore the sacrifices of Masses, in the which it was commonly said that the priest did offer Christ for the quick and the dead, to have remission of pain or gu…

Is it fitting that Christ should be a priest? The victim offered by this priest The effect of this priesthood Does the effect of His priesthood pertain to Himself, or only to others? The eternal duration of His priesthood Should He be called "a priest according to the order of Melchisedech"? Article 1. Whether it is fitting that Christ should be a priest? Objection 1. It would …
Were we freed from sin by Christ's Passion? Were we thereby delivered from the power of the devil? Were we freed thereby from our debt of punishment? Were we thereby reconciled with God? Was heaven's gate opened to us thereby? Did Christ derive exaltation from it? Article 1. Whether we were delivered from sin through Christ's Passion? Objection 1. It would seem that we were not…

Q. What do you understand by the word suffered? A. That during his whole life on earth, but especially at the end, Christ sustained in body and soul the anger of God against the sin of the whole human race. This he did in order that, by his suffering as the only atoning sacrifice, he might set us free, body and soul, from eternal condemnation, and gain for us God's grace, right…
Q. How does the Lord's Supper differ from the Roman Catholic Mass? A. The Lord's Supper declares to us that our sins have been completely forgiven through the one sacrifice of Jesus Christ which he himself finished on the cross once for all. It also declares to us that the Holy Spirit grafts us into Christ, who with his very body is now in heaven at the right hand of the Father…
This death of God's Son is the only and entirely complete sacrifice and satisfaction for sins; it is of infinite value and worth, more than sufficient to atone for the sins of the whole world.
Luther declares the Mass as practiced by Rome to be the greatest and most horrible abomination, standing in direct conflict with the chief article. The Mass is not a sacrifice offered to God for the living and the dead, but the Lord's Supper is a gift from God to be received in faith. Christ offered Himself once for all; the repetition of His sacrifice in the Mass denies the su…
Melanchthon retains the Mass as a celebration of the Lord's Supper but rejects the teaching that it is a sacrifice offered to God for the sins of the living and the dead. Christ's sacrifice on the cross was offered once for all and needs no repetition. The Supper is a sacrament — a gift from God to be received in faith — not a work by which humans offer something to God. Masses…
"It is finished" — these three words contain the whole gospel. The work of redemption is complete: the debt is paid, the law is satisfied, the curse is lifted, the way to God is opened. Spurgeon insists that nothing can be added to a finished work. To claim that human effort, religious ritual, or moral improvement must supplement Christ's sacrifice is to say that His blood was …
