For this reason the Son became a victim, sanctifying himself, even though he was already holy at all times. By his death he met all the demands of holiness, so that the accusations of Satan would be extinguished by our faith in Christ’s blood. On the basis of his atoning death, the disciples were able to receive the Holy Spirit. They were then made vessels to bear living water; witnesses to Jesus of his death and resurrection.
Kwa sababu hiyo Mwana akawa kafara, akijitakasa mwenyewe, ingawa alikuwa takatifu tangu awali. Kwa njia ya kifo chake akatimiza matakwa yote ya utakatifu, ili na mashitaka ya Shetani yafutike kwa imani yetu ndani ya damu ya Yesu. Kwa msingi wa kifo chake cha kuridhisha, hao wanafunzi waliweza kupokea Roho Mtakatifu, aliyewafanya wawe vyombo vya kubeba maji ya uhai, pia na mashahidi wa mahubiri ya Yesu katika jina lake.
