By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
Ver. 22. Jesus was made a surety] As he was our surety to God for the discharge of our debt (the surety and debtor in law are reputed as one person), so he is God's surety to us, for the performance of his promises. Christ was the surety of the first covenant (saith one), to pay the debt; of the second covenant, to perform the duty.
