1. To save us. This was his purpose & performance•l he did, all he suffered, was to redeem us. fBy his stripes we are healed: by his Sweat we refreshed: by his sorrows we rejoiced: by his death we saved.

The day was evil in respect of our sins & his sufferings: but eventually in regard of what he payed, and what he purchased; a good day, the best day; a day of joy and Jubilation.
