“My Flesh, Which I Shall Give For the Life of the World”

This has a double meaning. His flesh, which He continuously sacrificed and gave in order to consecrate the new and living way, and which in the end became a propitiation for the sins of the whole world, was His own will as a man; this was that will He partook of, being born of a woman—that will which He constantly denied in order to be able to do the will of the Father at all times.

But in the end, when He hung on the cross of Calvary, when His course was completed, His work was finished, and His blood was poured out, all His self-will had been denied and put to death, and all sin in the flesh had been condemned—it was then that He gave His body and blood for the life of the world.
