Hated Without a Cause (Ps. 69:1-4)

Summary

The sermon explores the theme of Jesus Christ being hated without cause, as prophesied in Psalm 69 and fulfilled in the New Testament. It emphasizes that Jesus, who did no wrong and only did good, was unjustly hated, persecuted, and crucified due to the enmity between Satan and Christ established in Genesis 3:15. The preacher highlights that this hatred was part of God's sovereign plan to restore humanity's fellowship with God through Jesus' sacrifice. Believers are reminded that by nature they too were enemies of Christ but are now reconciled through His love and grace.
