17.Q. What from hence?
A. That Jesus Christ takes notice of the conversation, and more especially of the griefs of his people.
26.Q. Why must Christ rise again and enter into glory?
A. To assure us God was satisfied for our sins; that he was no impostor or cheat; and to assure us of the resurrection of our bodies after death.
Q. Why must he rise the third day?
A. Because if he had continued longer, the body must have seen corruption; and then the prophecy would not have been fulfilled, which says, that “God’s Holy One was not to see corruption.” Nor would he have fulfilled the type of Jonah.
28.Q. What may we learn from Christ’s first refusing to go in?
A. That in small matters, though we may at first refuse a thing, yet we may afterwards, without forfeiting our words, comply therewith; it being supposed, that we promised on the supposition we had no better reason to the contrary.
29.Q. What may we learn from hence?
A. That we should, when evening comes on, constrain Christ by our prayers, to tarry with and watch over us all night.
