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

Sundry remarkable effects of his death, of which in their place.

In this silent agony of Jesus Christ upon the cross, he suffered all the punishment and curse which sin hath brought upon man, Gal. 3.13. he was made a curse for us, viz. by suffering all the punishment of the curse, 2 Cor. 5.21. He was made sin for us, viz. an Offering to bear the guilt and punishment of sin, though he knew not sin, so as to do it. Isai. 53. This whole famous Prophecy, declareth this great point, Psal. 69.26. whom thou hast smitten. Col. 1.2. Having made peace by the blood of his cross. 1. Cor. 15.3, 4. Christ dyed for our sins according to the Scriptures Dan 9.24. He hath made an end of sin, viz. He hath satisfied justice for the first sin of Adam, and for all sin that hath followed from the same. He hath taken away the condemning power of sin, by the authority of the Law, and brought it under another law or Covenant, viz. of Grace. The first Covenant of works doth not over-rule sin, in its condemning power; but Jesus Christ doth over-rule it by the New Covenant, under which he doth rule all the Elect of God. And that he might accomplish all this, he hath suffered all the essential punishment of the curse, viz. all sinless punishment, all that the justice of the law requireth, & with his sufferings justice was fully satisfied, and all this he suffered for us. Isai. 53.3, 4, 5, 6. &c.
