The harmony of the Gospels in the holy history of the humiliation and sufferings…

The last part of the Sufferings of Jesus Christ upon the Cross.

The whole life of Jesus Christ was a suffering life, the first and the last parts of his time in this world were fullest of sufferings. the last and greatest of his sufferings were on the Cross, Phil. 2.8. obedient to the death, even death upon the Cross, here all his bitter sufferings met upon him, upon the Cross he fulfilled to answer and satisfy all that was to be said by the Law against us, Col. 2.14, 15. blotting out the hand writing of Ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his Cross, and having spoiled Principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it, viz, in the work that he did accomplish on the Cross, in giving full satisfaction to the Law. The full stream of his sufferings fell on him, on the Cross. Jesus Christ did both suffer and agonize before the Cross, as appeareth, Luk. 12.50. I have a Baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it be accomplished, Joh. 12.20. now is my Soul troubled, in the garden he had a great Soul Agony, Luk. 22. 44. his body was not yet in a suffering condition, only by way of sympathy with his agonizing Soul, which so wrought on him as that he sweat drops like blood. But on the Cross all kind of sufferings met together; the whole stream of wrath against sin fell upon him, and he was under it altogether.
