<TITLE>06. Par 33-40</TITLE>L-33 Sure, He had to do it. The veil hung between man and God, and that opening veil revealed the way to Heaven's joys and endless day. Calvary means something, means more than we can express. Sure.
Living, He loved me. Dying, He saved me.
Buried, He carried my sins far away.
It's been condemned now. Sin has no more hold. When He screamed at the cross, "It's finished," sin died. Now it's dead. It's--it's done with. It's powerless. It's lifeless. Think of it, people. That sin, the enemy to human beings, is dead and lifeless; it has no more effect. It can't. When the sun shut off its vision, the stars would not shine, the earth turned black, it was all being redeemed.
Now it's dead; it's buried; it's lifeless. It has no more life in it, then it must be buried. What was buried? The body of God was buried, for it was the sin offering. It was the burnt Lamb; it was burnt up by the fires of iniquity. That sinless Lamb that knowed no sin, that God Who knowed no wrong, His life had been given, and there hung the sin offering. "Buried, He carried my sins far away." He must be buried. The body, the sin offering must be buried.

L-36 That's why many, after while, will walk one by one to this pool to be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. Why? Something has took place. That Spirit that came out of that body, when He screamed, "It's finished," has condemned sin in our bodies. And we must bury it to be remembered no more. I'm so glad that it is.
When anything's buried, it's hid; it's out of sight. "And buried, He carried my sins far away." God can see our sins no more, for they are buried. They are buried where? In the Sea of Forgetfulness. Think of a Sea of Forgetfulness. God cannot remember them no more, because they are both dead and buried. It cannot be even remembered no more. They're out of God's memory.

L-38 He was also in this "buried," He represented in the Old Testament... They had two... They had a sin offering at the cleansing of the sanctuary. And that sin offering was that they taken two goats, and one goat was killed; and the other goat had the sins that was placed upon the dead goat put upon the live goat.
Remember, Jesus was a Sheep. He was a Lamb, but in this case He become a goat; He was righteousness, because He was God, the Sheep. But He come a goat, sin, that He might be the sin offering for me and you: from a Sheep to a goat.

L-40 And Jesus was represented in both the animals, both goats. For one, he died, he died for the atonement; the second, the sins from the atonement was put on the scapegoat, and the scapegoat took the sins of the people and went far into the wilderness to bear the sins of the people. What was it? It was the death and the burial of our Lord Jesus. Dying... "Living, He loved me. Dying, He saved me. Buried, He carried my sins far away." He took the sins of the people upon Himself and carried them plumb down into the lowest of hades. He was the sin Offering. He had the sins of the people. He died for them. And also the sins was placed upon Him, and He took our sins far away, so far that God could never see them no more. Think of it. Oh, the Church could scream, "Hallelujah," for such a Saviour.
