Christ our Natural Head

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the superiority of Christ as our natural head and great high priest, contrasting this with the flawed doctrine of federal headship. It highlights that all humanity sinned in Adam naturally, not merely representatively, and Christ, as our elder brother, took on human flesh to bear our sins personally. The death of Christ is described as a propitiation and expiation, fully satisfying God's justice and providing believers with a cleansed conscience and boldness to approach God. The sermon also underscores Christ's empathetic priesthood, as He sympathizes with our infirmities and offers grace in times of need.
