Christ was offered twice; first in the temple, which is called His morning sacrifice; then on the cross, which is termed His evening sacrifice. In the one He was redeemed, in the other He did redeem.

John Boys
John Boys (1571–1625) war ein englischer Theologe und Dechant der Kathedrale von Canterbury in der jakobäischen Ära. Er wurde vor allem durch seine Auslegungen der Schriftlesungen des Book of Common Prayer bekannt, in denen er theologische Gelehrsamkeit mit volksnaher Bildsprache verband. Für Bibelleser heute bieten seine Texte prägnante theologische Einsichten und alltagsnahe Erklärungen zu den biblischen Lesungen des Kirchenjahres.
