Reminders of the gospel that was preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, that you may hold fast to the word preached to you.
My soul asks, Lord, why wouldst thou go to such a place where Judas knew to find thee? Christ answers, that thou mightest know that I went as willingly to suffer for thy sin as ever thou wentest to any place to commit a sin. Lord, why would thou begin thy passion in a garden? Because there in a garden, thy sin took first beginning. Lord, why did thy 3 select disciples fall so fast asleep when thou beganst thy agony? To show thee, I alone wrought the work of thy redemption. Lord, why were there so many pits and snares laid for thee that I might make thee to escape all the snare of the ghostly hunter. Lord, why wouldst Thou be sold for 30 pieces of silver? That I might free thee from perpetual bondage. Lord, why didst thou pray with such strong crying and tears that I might quench the fury of God's justice which was so fiercely kindled against thee?
