 Jn 15 23"He who hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both my Father and me. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: They hated me without cause." Ps 69 4 Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause," As is commonly taughtChrist came incarnate on the earth to amply atone for our sinsHowever, Christ returned together to properly fulfill the ethical law. We are taught that Jesus was despised when He was on earth. As a result, if Jesus was hated then, we suffer a corresponding hatred. However, if you study the parallel passage from "They hated me for no reason," it doesn't teach that he had to endure the hate. When Jesus came to faithfully fulfill the eternal lawhe had to voluntarily obey everything he spoke. He had to peacefully exercise his higher authority of law by rigorously correcting the pervasive abuses while walking the earth. At one point the Good Shepherd suggested to the people that he was manipulating the law by proclaiming the blessing and the curse. The shepherd intention in complaining about the intense hatred of his active opposition was to defeat them in their utterances. 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 fulfilled the law by proclaiming wicked rulers. Christ faithfully obeyed the Father strictly speaking the eternal law, covenants, curses, optional statutes, guarantees, and divine decrees. He pronounced the rich blessing in the Sermon on the Mount, cursing the spiritual leaders, ordering the healing of the sick and mute, thereby fulfilling the promises in the confirmed death of Lazarus. Christ rests on the exclusive man who, in every advanced situation, has reliably made the authoritative statements and implemented them absolutely. The hatred that Christ faced is certainly not the same reason we tend to be universally despised. Christ no doubt had to face the fierce hatred of the devil to cruelly destroy His soul. He had to become a curse for us lest the devil ruin us. This may be why Psalms pronounces the curse to establish well God's gracious gifts of joy, true goodness, divine love and sincere sorrow, pain of anger, and historic loss. He has reversed the evil curse of sincere sorrow, lasting pain, and loss so that we can put it under our feet in authoritative utterances. Therefore, exceptional kindness cannot be intentionally altered by embellishment, anger, and suicidal hatred. The devil cannot implement our ethical corruption to mercilessly destroy our soul and body. The historical trials that we resolutely face will be overcome because Christ willingly became a curse for us. Hence we can push the evil curse away from under our feet.
