Catechism Class: LD15, Q37 The DURATION of Christ's Suffering

Catechism Class: LD15, Q37 The DURATION of Christ's SufferingLord's Day 15, Q37. What do you understand by the word “suffered?” That all the time He lived on earth, but especially at the end of His life, He bore, in body and soul, the wrath of God against the sin of the whole human race; in order that by His suffering, as the only atoning sacrifice, He might redeem our body and soul from everlasting damnation, and obtain for us the grace of God, righteousness, and eternal life.The catechist’s reply to his question raises some important issues for us, about the DURATION of Christ’s suffering.  When we think about Christ’s suffering, we rightly focus on and point to the cross, where our Saviour truly suffered and died - for sinners like you and me.   The Catechist helps us to put a totally different perspective on this when he tells us that ALL the time that he lived on earth, (including his birth) he was suffering for us.  Read the NOTES HERE.Psalm extracts- Thanks to Conor Quigley, www.ThePsalmsSung.OrgPodcast Music on license from www.NeoSounds.comSRP Theme, “In Another Time” by Roland Rudzitis Hosted on Acast.
