Jesus Christ was a surety for us, Heb. 7.22. Jesus was a surety of a better Testament: Jesus Christ was our undertaker, stood bound to satisfy our debt, and to satisfy the justice of God for the wrongs that we had done unto him: and therefore he was made a curse for us, Gal. 3.13 our guilt was translated unto him: God laid on him the iniquities of us all, Isai. 53.6. and the punishment that was inflicted on him was properly our punishment, Surely he hath bore our grief and carried our sorrow, Isai. •3.4. it was that punishment that firstly did belong unto us: he suffered upon the account of his public Office and undertaking: as Mediator he gave himself a ransom for us.
