The Second London Baptist Confession of Faith Paragraph 8.4

content_copy

This office the Lord Jesus did most willingly undertake,⁠¹⁠ which that He might discharge He was made under the law,⁠²⁠ and did perfectly fulfill it, and underwent the punishment due to us, which we should have born and suffered,⁠³⁠ being made sin and a curse for us;⁠⁴⁠ enduring most grievous sorrows in His soul, and most painful sufferings in His body;⁠⁵⁠ was crucified, and died, and remained in the state of the dead, yet saw no corruption:⁠⁶⁠ on the third day He arose from the dead⁠⁷⁠ with the same body in which He suffered,⁠⁸⁠ with which He also ascended into heaven,⁠⁹⁠ and there sits at the right hand of His Father making intercession,⁠¹⁰⁠ and shall return to judge men and angels at the end of the world.⁠¹¹⁠
