11. Concerning Redemption. 1. The Lord sustained the passion of the cross as the greatest prophet, that He might bear the iniquity of the people. Like the prophets, concerning whom see (T.C.R. 126). 2. All His suffering signified how the Jews had vilified and perverted the Word. 3. The passion of the cross, also, was the last temptation, by which He glorified His Human. 4. Redemption did not consist in that passion, but in the subjugation of the hells, and the orderly arrangement of everything there and in heaven. 5. (The Redemption will be treated of in its own memorable relation hereafter.)
