    And . noW to apply this to him whose peculiar character it is that he knew no sin . Christ ' was made sin when he was rejected and despised of men , when he was hated of the world , when be was reproached as a sinner , and as a friend of pub ! icans and sinners j when he was accused of being a glutton and a winebibber ; a deceiver of the people , a mover of sedition , a profaner of the Sabbath , a blasphemer of God , and a confederate with the prince of demons ; when he was persecuted , derided , insulted in every shape and in every place ; when the chief priests and scribes sought to lay hands upon him ; when spies
