38. Why did Christ suffer under Pontius Pilate, as his judge?
That he, being innocent, and yet condemned by a temporal judge (John 18;38), might thereby free us from the severe judgment of God, to which we were exposed (Isa. 53;5).

Yes, there is; for thereby I am assured, that he took on him the curse which lay upon me (Gal. 3;13); for the death of the cross was accursed of God (Gal. 3;13).
