[Cvengr]

Did Jesus Christ come here to be crucified or did Jesus Christ come to remain obedient to the Father and to lead the Jewish nation as their Messiah?

Since Jesus Christ was the Perfect Lamb, the Perfect Sacrifice, who was the priest making the offering?

[William Terrell]

I'm not sure what you're saying. My only point is that Jesus knew He was doing the Father's Will and knew He was destined to be crucified. Obviously He had no choice in the matter, from our human viewpoint, so neither did the perps. The drama was preordained.

Therefore, this business about the Jews murdering Jesus and to be condemed therefor is silly. God wrote the script and the actors played their parts.

"Since Jesus Christ was the Perfect Lamb, the Perfect Sacrifice, who was the priest making the offering?"

Hebrews 9 will give you the answer. In verse 12 (quoted below in KJV) Paul shows him functioning as the *High Priest with "his own blood" entering into the holy place and there obtaining "eternal redemption for us".

"12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us."

A reading of the entire chapter will give you a better concept of the whole picture. Add to it the following:

* Hebrews 4:14
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
