In this Good Friday Mass at Saint Anne’s Anglican Church, Rev. Dr. Jon Back delivers a profound theological reflection on the crucifixion of Christ, centering on the theme of sacrifice and covenant. Drawing from Scripture—including Genesis 22’s binding of Isaac, Isaiah 53’s suffering servant, and John 19’s piercing of Christ’s side—he traces a thread of divine provision, where Christ is revealed as the ultimate Lamb of God who fulfills the old covenant and inaugurates the new and eternal covenant. The sermon emphasizes the sacramental reality of the Eucharist, explaining how the words of institution, rooted in Christ’s own voice, transform bread and wine into His body and blood, making present the sacrifice of Calvary. The moment when blood and water flow from Christ’s side is interpreted as the birth of the Church and the source of baptismal and spiritual life, underscoring the Church’s identity as the living body of Christ. The liturgy itself becomes a re-presentation of Christ’s redemptive act, inviting the faithful into communion with the eternal mystery of faith.
Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the sacrificial system, replacing all previous offerings with His own perfect sacrifice.
The piercing of Christ’s side at Calvary symbolizes the birth of the Church and the source of sacramental life through water and blood.
The Eucharist is not merely symbolic but a real presence of Christ, made possible through the words of institution that re-present His sacrifice.
The old covenant is fulfilled and replaced by the new and eternal covenant of faith, inaugurated through Christ’s death.
The Church is the living body of Christ, born from His side and sustained by the sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist.
