 We are normally taught Jesus came to atone for our sin. But Jesus also faithfully fulfill the moral law. Jesus was heartily despised when He was on the earth. Hence, if He was universally despised, we would invariably suffer hate. But if you carefully examine the parallel passage "They hated me without reason"  teaching He willingly endured fierce hate. Jesus had to voluntarily comply with everything He declared. He had to properly exercise His divine authority of the law by carefully correcting the specific abuses as He walked the earth. He amply demonstrated the law in pronouncing the divine blessing and cursing. The Psalmist justly complains about the hate of his organized opposition in pronouncing. "22May the table set before them become a snare;may it become retribution and a trap. May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever. Pour out your wrath on them; let your fierce anger overtake them. May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents." Christ faithfully fulfilled the law by cursing the wicked rulers.

 Christ faithfully obeyed the Father by speaking law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees. He pronounced the divine blessing in the Sermon on the Mount, cursing judgement on Religious leaders, decreeing in healing the sick and dumb, and the fulfilled promise in the resurrection of Lazarus.Christ endure the exclusive man who spoke pronouncements employing them in every situation. 

The hate Christ confronted is not the same we are despised. Christ hate rose to the extraordinary power exercised by the Devil to ruthlessly destroy His soul. He became the curse for us, so we would not be wrecked by the Devil. .This is why the Psalms pronounces the curse to sufficiently establish Gods gracious gifts of joy, kindness, love and sorrow, anger pain and loss. He reversed the curse of sorrow, pain, loss, so we thrust it under our feet in the pronouncements.Consequently, the kindness cannot be returned to embellishment and anger to self-destructive hate. Satan no longer uses our moral corruption destroying soul and body. The controlled trials are conquered when Christ willingly became a curse for us. Therefore, we eagerly push the fierce curse under our feet.
