Christ chose to willingly die on a cruel cross and be slain as an innocent lamb with the spilling of His precious blood in order to ratify the everlasting covenant made with His Father and bring peace between God and us.(76) His death fulfilled and brought to an end the shadowy sacrificial system of types and ceremonies(77) that He might become our High Priest(78) and Advocate for sin before His Father.(79) Thus Christ would be able to bear or take away the sins of the whole world,(80) and to cleanse, with His precious blood,(81) all those who confess and forsake all their sins(82) from all their unrighteousness.(83) Thus we would be delivered from the bondage of evil(84) and brought back to our Father.(85) Christ's death on the cross only brought to an end the sacrificial and ceremonial laws which Moses wrote down.
Pinili ni Kristo na kusang-loob na mamatay doon sa malupit na krus at mapatay tulad ng inosenteng tupa na may pagbubuhos ng Kanyang mamahaling dugo upang pagtibayin ang walanghanggang tipang ginawa sa Kanyang Ama at magdala ng kapayapaan sa gitna ng Dios at natin.(76) Sa Kanyang pagkamatay ay natupad at nagbigay ng katapusan sa maaninong sistema ng paghahandog ng mga uri at mga seremonya(77) upang Siya'y maging ating mataas na Saserdote(78) at Manananggol para sa harapan ng Kanyang Ama.(79) Kaya nga si Kristo ay nararapat na dalhin o alisin ang kasalanan ng buong mundo,(80) at linisin, ng Kanyang mamahaling dugo,(81) ang lahat nang yaong nagpapahayag at tumalikod sa lahat nilang mga kasalanan(82) mula sa lahat nilang kawalang-kaganapan.(83) Sa gayon tayo'y may pagkaligtas mula sa pagkaalipin ng kasamaan(84) at maibalik muli sa ating Ama.(85)
