Why Christ by the mouth of the Judge was condemned as an evil doer, and by the same judges mouth, was pronounced innocent.
Why Christ by the mouth of the Iudge was condemned as an euil doer, and by the same iudges mouth, was pronounced innocent.
Both these make for a notable confirmation of our faith. For in that he is condemned and accounted amongest the wicked, our heavenly father doth witness unto us, that he doth bear our person, and in the same is made guilty of the father, for us, to the end that he taking that condemnation upon himself that lay upon our heads, he might deliver us from it. Again, whilst he is declared innocent by the same judges mouth, by which he was condemned, the father witnesseth by the mouth of the judge that he suffered not for his own faults, but for ours. Joh. 8. vers 21.24. For the father would not that his Son should suffer in vain: but either for his own, or for others sins, to wit for ours. But he suffered not for his own which were none, by the testimony of the judge him self, and by the testimony of the Prophets: Psal. 69 he paid that which he toke not: and Isaiah 53. Why therefore do we distrust, seeing Christ suffered not in his own sins, but in ours?
BOth these make for a notable confirmation of our faith. For in that he is condemned and accounted amongest the wicked, our heauenly father doth wittnesse vnto vs, that he doth beare our person, and in the same is made guiltie of the father, for vs, to the ende that hee taking that condemnaon vppon himselfe that laie vppon our heades, hee might deliuer vs from it. Againe, whilest he is declared innocent by the same iudges mouth, by which he was condemned, the father witnesseth by the mouth of the iudge that he suffered not for his owne faults, but for ours.
