Excerpt from A Popular Handbook: On the Origin, History, and Structure of Liturgies
Moreover, the faith of the worshippers was thus directed to the one great central and atoning Sacrifice, to which all these other sacrifices had a typical relation, and from which they derived whatever blessing they, as channels, conveyed to the faithful worshipper. The other kind of offering, viz., the inanimate victim, offered without shedding of blood and without pain, was sym bolical of the perpetual memorial, or the commemora tive offering, of Jesus Christ, once slain ever living, both on the golden altar in heaven, and in the most holy Eucharist on earth. S. Paul tells us that it was by faith Abel offered a better sacrifice than Cain. We may gather from these words that Abel offered his lamb as a confession of personal guilt, and of faith in the Lamb of God, who in due time should take away the sins of the world whereas Cain's sacrifice of the fruits of the earth was an ignoring of these truths, and may have been the continuation of the same kind of sacrifice which Adam had offered before the Fall.
