The presentation matter is ours,not the Lord's; the acceptance of the offering as a sacrificeis wholly the Lord's--the High Priest's work. With theacceptance of our flesh as a sacrifice we cease to be asmen and thenceforth in the sight of God and of eachother we are living members of the Anointed One--theHigh Priest.The High Priest accepted the Church as a wholethrough its presentation at Pentecost.

The figure of the under-priestsis the one which applies to the Church in respect to allsacrificial matters.====================
