The
Gospel is set forth in Matthew 1 by the four women introduced into the genealogy: TAMAR (Genesis 38) is a dark picture of nothing but sin, yet sin brings her into connection with Christ. RAHAB (Joshua 2) is a sinner, but faith brings her into connection with Christ. RUTH is a Moabitess (Deuteronomy 23.3), a spotless character, but kept out by the law, which must be set aside to bring her into connection with Christ. BATHSHEBA shows David (a saint) sinning, but (
Romans 5:8, 10
8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
10
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (Romans 5:10)
) he is saved forever: hence Solomon (peaceful) can follow the true confession of his sin.
The gospel then is for
sinners,
is received by
faith,
justifies those shut out by the
law,
and is
eternal
in its value.

threefold
denial of our Lord,

And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. (Matthew 26:69‑75)

thrice
repeated question,
John 16:15-17
15
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
16
A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
17
Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? (John 16:15‑17)
