Flavel’s Exposition Quote Q&A 94

Of Baptism

Flavel compares the water of baptism with the blood of Christ:

It resembles it in the Necessity of it; for as the Body cannot live without Water, so neither can the Soul without Christ’s Blood, Heb 9:23 It was therefore necessary, that Pattern of Things in the Heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly Things themselves with better Sacrifices than these.
