QUEST. XLIX. _How did Christ humble himself in his death?_

ANSW. Christ humbled himself in his death, in that having been

betrayed by Judas, forsaken by his disciples, scorned and rejected

by the world, condemned by Pilate, and tormented by his persecutors,

having also conflicted with the terrors of death, and the powers of

darkness, felt and borne the weight of God’s wrath, he laid down his

life an offering for sin, enduring the painful, shameful, and cursed

death of the cross.
