2. He Suffered the Curse of the Law in his Soul. The Soul of Christ was filled with sorrow. Math. 26.38. My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death. He had a terrible sense of the wrath of God in his Soul. He did not suffer much of this in the time of his Public Ministry; but about and in the time of his death, he was distressed with the sense of Gods wrath. As sometimes Godly Men do enjoy the sense of Gods favour, so Christ endured the sense of Gods wrath. God was not angry with Christ for taking his Office upon him, but for our Sins. And Christ Jesus had a deep sense how God was provoked by the Sins of the Elect, and that the guilt of all those Sins was translated unto him. Gods wrath did burn against him, God looked on him as the guilty Person: God looked upon him as the object of vindictive Justice: and he was pursued by Divine Vengeance for those Sins: Isai. 53.6. And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of ⟨p. 11⟩us all, &c. 11. v. He shall see of the travel of his Soul. This was the principal part of the punishment of Sin; this made Christ sweat drops of blood: this was typified by that fire on the Altar that did consume the Sacrifices.
