This is significant because it fulfills the typology of the Old Testament sacrificial system, where the sin offerings were burned outside the camp ( Leviticus 16:27). Jesus' suffering outside the city gate symbolizes His role as the ultimate sin offering, bearing the sins of the people. The location also emphasizes His rejection by the religious leaders and the people of Jerusalem, paralleling the scapegoat in Leviticus 16:10, which was sent away into the wilderness. Historically, crucifixions were carried out outside city limits to maintain ceremonial cleanliness within the city and to serve as a public deterrent. This act of suffering outside the gate also connects to the prophecy in Isaiah 53:3, where the Messiah is described as "despised and rejected by men." to sanctify the people
The purpose of Jesus' suffering is to sanctify, or make holy, the people. In the Old Testament, sanctification was achieved through the sacrificial system, which involved the shedding of animal blood to atone for sins (Exodus 29:36-37). Jesus' sacrifice, however, is once and for all, providing a complete and perfect sanctification for those who believe in Him (Hebrews 10:10). This sanctification is not just a ceremonial cleansing but a spiritual transformation, setting believers apart for God's purposes. The concept of sanctification is deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people, as seen in passages likeExodus 19:6, where Israel is called to be a "kingdom of priests and a holy nation." by His own blood
The phrase underscores the means by which sanctification is achieved—through the blood of Jesus. In the biblical context, blood represents life and is essential for atonement (Leviticus 17:11). Jesus' blood is the fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrifices, which were a shadow of the true sacrifice to come (Hebrews 9:12-14). His blood signifies the new covenant, as prophesied inJeremiah 31:31-34, where God promises to write His law on the hearts of His people and forgive their iniquities. The shedding of Jesus' blood is central to the Christian faith, as it provides redemption, reconciliation, and access to God (Ephesians 1:7,Colossians 1:20). This act of sacrifice is the ultimate demonstration of God's love and justice, satisfying the requirements of the law and offering grace to humanity. Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points The Significance of Jesus' SufferingJesus' suffering outside the city gate symbolizes His rejection by the world and His role as the ultimate sin offering. Believers are called to identify with His suffering and rejection. Sanctification through ChristSanctification is not achieved by human effort but through the blood of Jesus. Believers are set apart for God's purposes, called to live holy lives in response to His sacrifice. The Call to Bear ReproachJust as Jesus bore reproach outside the city, Christians are called to bear reproach for His name, living counter-culturally and enduring persecution for their faith. The Power of the BloodThe blood of Jesus is central to the Christian faith, providing cleansing from sin and access to a relationship with God. Believers should continually rely on His sacrifice for spiritual growth and renewal. Living as a Sanctified PeopleAs those sanctified by Christ, believers are to live distinctively, reflecting God's holiness in their conduct, relationships, and mission in the world.

Why did Jesus suffer beyond the city gates?
What does Pascha mean?
What is the meaning of the Blood of Christ?
What is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre?(12) The sin-offering was burned without the camp. Jesus who in all other points fulfilled the law of atonement fulfilled it in this point also, in that He suffered "without the gate" ( Matthew 27:32; John 19:20). The two expressions answer to one another, each denoting that which lay beyond the sacred precincts, outside the special dwelling-place of God's people. "The people," see Hebrews 2:17; "sanctify," Hebrews 2:11; Hebrews 9:13; Hebrews 10:10. . . .
