0 CoxMExrs-Let US now ask some ques-
u tions Of great importance, with respect to
the death Of Christ.
:. l. Who was il who hung on the middle
: crossi
y All that He was the son Of God. The
i same one OF whom God said "This Is my be-
Il loved SON. Had He at last fallen into some
4 great SIN for which He was now enduring
4 the proper penaltyi mol II you could have
= looked into His most secret thoughts, you
:. would never have seen any single sinful
ST thing. He did no sin, neither was guile
d found in His mouth" q Pet. 2:22; John
h 3:5). More than this All His lifetime He
~ had been engaged in doing good TO others.
!. The sick were healed; the Borrowing ones
= comforted; the dead were raised by His
ID power and devils were cast out OF men.
id He pardoned the sins Of many and preached
II the good news Of salvation TO all who would
\, listen. Even goddess men testified IN
His favor. PLATE said: IL find no fault
~ in Him. No, nor yet Herod" Luke
q. 23:l4l5l. Judas Iscariot confessed: =
70, have betrayed innocent blood" Matt
he 2s:4) The centurion who helped crucif,
n. Him said: s'Surely he was righteous man
Luke % 40. The thief was convinced thai
~ He was innocent and deserved none OF the
-, pain inflicted on Him luke 3:4l). Sc I'VE SEE
st the amazing sight OF Jesus snless being,
". kind and gentle TO Ill, the healer Of the sick,
and the caster-out Of devils. the great teacher
OF Gods Word. and the son Of the living
God; we see Him nailed to the cross, there
suffering untold agony, and at last dying
the death OF criminal.
Q. Could He not have saved Himselfl =
o. His enemies said: himself He can not
- save Matt. 27:42). Was that truei Oh,
no. He could have saved Himself perfectly
well When Peter, IN tho garden, drew his
10 sword to defend his Lord, Christ said 70
G. him: "You need not do this. II should
ask my Father, He would at once give me
= more than twelve iegions 10000 Of angels
- Matt. % :53) He Himself said: mo man
q taketh my life from me, but lay II down Of
I'd myself John 1918. Those verses prove
that Jesus could have saved Himself IL He
20 had wanted 70. In q moment, He who cast
= out devils. Gained the storm, and raised the
dead, could have ovcrthrown Hcrcd, Plate,
Y Roman soldiers and all, and have gone free.

~ I. Calvary is the center OF the worlds
!. history.
/" 2. II Jesus was willing 10 die that we
70 might be saved, how earnest we should be
ne to be saved.
Is 8 Christ crucifed shows the exceeding
"a evil and danger Of sin.
!; 4 II shows that God loves Us and desires
to forgive and save u.s.
" 5. II shows that we can be saved in no
az other way.
g. II shows the value OF our souls, and
= the precousncss OF salvation and Heaven.
NJ :. Il furnishes every motive for turning
from sin love, hone, fear, duty.
~ s. II shows how God can be just, and yet
n the justificr OF every one who believes on
I'll Him.
