I. THE PRINCIPAL ELEMENTS OF CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS FOR SIN.

1. He had a clear view of the unspeakable hideousness and odiousness of sin.

2. He was conscious of the Divine displeasure on account of sin.

3. He was conscious of the absence of the Divine favour, and the presence and power of Satan.

II. THE CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH RENDERED THESE SUFFERINGS NECESSARY.

1. They were necessary for the full manifestation of the Divine character in the work of redemption.

2. They were necessary to prevent the salvation of sinners from infringing on the authority and government of God.

III. THE GLORY WHICH IS THE RESULT AND REWARD OF THE SAVIOUR'S SUFFERINGS (see Philippians 2:9-11).

1. The glory and honour thus bestowed on Christ, are conferred on Him in His character of Mediator.

2. The glory of Christ arises from His superiority over the hosts of heaven.

3. Christ possesses glory as the Governor of the world.

4. Christ is glorious as the Sovereign Head of the Church.

(W. L. Alexander, D. D.)
