Quest. But why not possible now to be helden of death?
Ans. Because, the Cause was removed, Sin was the Cause, he died for our Sins, he gave himself for our Sins, 1 Cor. 15. 1, 2, 3. Gal. 1. 4. These Sins brought him to death: But when God that had made him a Curse for us, looked upon him into the Grave, he found him there without sin, and therefore loosed the Pains of Death; for Justice saith, This is not possible, because not lawful, that he who lieth sinless before God, should be swallowed up of death; therefore he raised him up.
Quest. But what did he do with our Sins? for he had them upon his Back.
Ans. 'Tis said he TOOK them away: Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the World; 'Tis said he PUT them away. Now once in the End of the World hath he appeared to put away sin by the Sacrifice of himself, Joh. 1. 29
