Day 15 • Question 39
39
Does
it
have
a
special
meaning
that
Christ
was
crucified
and
did
not
die
in
a
different
way?
Yes.
Thereby
I
am
assured
that
he
took
upon
himself
the
curse
which
lay
on
me,
for
a
crucified
one
was
cursed
by
God.

Galatians 3:13
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree"--
