To show thereby that He was really dead.

And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth. Isa. 53, 9.

1 Cor. 15, 3. 4.

Our death is not a satisfaction for our sin, but only a dying to sins and entering in­to eternal life.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Phil. 1, 21.

That by His power our old man is with Him crucified, slain and buried; that so the evil lusts of the flesh may no more reign in us, but that we may offer ourselves unto Him a sacrifice of thanksgiving.
