Through His Blood

"The wrong done to infinite justice by our sin was so great, that nothing performed by Christ could be a sufficient ransom in order to our redemption, except he had crowned all his other actions and sufferings by laying down his life and undergoing a bloody and violent death: for, "We have redemption through his blood," to wit, not as excluding his former obedience, (Rom 5:18-19) nor yet his other sufferings, especially his soul-sufferings, (Isa53:10); but as being the head-stone and completing of all (John 19:30)."
James Fergusson, An Exposition of the Epistles of Paul
