_180. Did Christ suffer bodily pain only?_ No; His greatest suffering was a fearful anguish of soul on account of our sins. _181. When in particular did he suffer this anguish?_ In the garden, when His sweat was as drops of blood and He said, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death"; and on the cross, when He cried, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" =Isa. 53:4, 5. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.= _182. How did Christ act through all this suffering?_ He was patient as a lamb that is lead to the slaughter. Isa. 53:7. _183. What did Christ accomplish for us by His death on the cross?_ By His death He has paid the wages of sin, which is death. =Rom. 5:10. When we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son.= _184. What comfort do we have from the burial of Christ?_ He has buried our sins, hallowed our graves, and taken away their horror. _185. How should we look upon the life and suffering of Christ in His humiliation?_ We should look upon His life and His suffering as an atonement for our sins, and as an example to the believer of holiness in life and patience in suffering. =1 Pet. 2:21. Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps.= _186. Did Christ remain in humiliation and death?_ No; God exalted Him and gave Him a name which is above every name. Phil. 2:9. _187. How many steps do you notice in the exaltation of Christ?_ Five: His descent into hell; His resurrection; His ascension; His session at the right hand of the Father; His coming to judge the quick and the dead. _188. What did Christ accomplish when he descended into hell?_ He made known the victory which He had won over the devil, and preached to the spirits in prison. 1 Pet. 3:18, 19. _189. What benefit do we have from the resurrection of Christ?_ 1. The resurrection assures us that Christ is the Son of God, and that He has conquered death and fully satisfied for our sins. =Rom. 1:4. Declared to be the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead.= =1 Cor. 15:14. If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.= 2. The resurrection gives us power to arise from spiritual death, and to live a new and holy life. =Rom. 6:4. As Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.= 3. The resurrection assures us that our bodies shall arise in glory on the last day. _190. What command did Christ give His disciples before His ascension?_ He commanded them to go out into the whole world and preach the gospel to all nations. [Missions.] =Matt. 28:19; Mark. 16:15.=
