Q38: Why did He suffer “under Pontius Pilate” as judge?

A: That He, being innocent, might be condemned by the temporal judge, and thereby deliver us from the severe judgment of God, to which we were exposed.

Q39: Is there anything more in His having been “crucified” than if He had suffered some other death?

A: Yes, for thereby I am assured that He took upon Himself the curse which lay upon me, because the death of the cross was accursed of God.
