1. Of his Love, because as the Anger of God was that which crucified our Saviour, so on the contrary, it must be his Love that should raise and restore him. Christ when he died, he looked upon God as an Enemy, as a Judge; and as those colours which we see conveyed to us, are answerable to the Medium through which we see them; as, if we look through a coloured glass, we see the object of that colour: So the Lord Jesus, when he was upon the Cross, looked upon God through the black-cloud of our sins, and through the red cloud of his Fathers wrath, and so dyed as a Sacrifice to Divine Justice. But when he was raised from the Grave, that was the testimony of Gods love to him, and of his love to us; for he died as our Surety, he was arrested for our Debt, he was cast into ⟨image 66⟩the Grave, as into a Prison: But by his Resurrection he was redeemed from Prison and Judgement. And therefore you shall find, when Christ was: risen, he salutes his Disciples with this, Peace be unto you, Luk. 24.31. There was the dawning of peace at the Incarnation of Christ, for then the Angels sung, Peace upon earth; but the complete Sun-shine of peace was at his Resurrection, when he had made full and complete satisfaction to Gods Justice: for this was a clearing of him before all the World, when God raised him from the Grave. And in this respect it was very agreeable for the Apostle to say, The God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus.
