Thomas Brooks emphasizes the profound significance of Christ's death,
explaining that Jesus bore the full punishment for our sins, both in
body and soul, to satisfy divine justice. He highlights that Christ
experienced the anguish and horror of God's wrath, enduring the
equivalent of eternal suffering for the elect. Through His sacrifice,
Jesus pacified divine wrath and accomplished eternal salvation, making
His brief sufferings infinitely valuable. Brooks reassures believers

everlasting righteousness. Ultimately, the sermon underscores the depth
of Christ's love and the completeness of His redemptive work.

"He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree." 1 Peter 2:24

Certainly the whole punishment of body and soul which was

due unto us--Christ our Redeemer suffered. Our blessed Savior

bore all the sins of the elect. He suffered the whole punishment

which was due unto us--which we would have endured, if He had

not atoned for our sins. He felt the anguish of soul, and horror

of God's wrath, and in soul experienced the torments of hell

for us--and sustained them and vanquished them.

All the pains, torments, curse, and wrath which were due to

the elect--fell on Christ, until divine justice was fully satisfied.

Though Christ did not suffer eternal death for sinners--yet He

suffered that which was equivalent, and therefore the justice

of God is by His death wholly appeased. Christ's infinite

excellency and glory, made His short sufferings to be of

infinite worth, and equivalent to our everlasting sufferings.

Jesus suffered that which was necessary for our redemption,

namely, that torment of hell which we had deserved, and

which the justice of God required that He should endure for

our redemption. He endured that bitter pain which we

deserved to suffer eternally.

Christ, by His death . . .

satisfied divine justice,

pacified divine wrath,

brought in an everlasting righteousness,

accomplished the eternal salvation of His people.
