II. The Feast follows on Sacrifice. We find that usage of a feast
following a sacrifice existing in many races and religions. It seems to
witness to a widespread consciousness of sin as disturbing our relations
with God. These could be set right only by sacrifice, which therefore
must precede all joyful communion with Him.

The New Testament accepts that truth and clears it from the admixture of
heathenism.

God provides the Sacrifice.

It is not brought by man. There is no need for our efforts--no atonement
to be found by us. The sacrifice is not meant to turn aside God's wrath.

Communion is possible through Christ.

In Him God is revealed.
