1072. Christ was hated for no reason.

Ps 69:4, Jn 15:24-25

In the Old Testament, David prayed to God that he would not be hated without reason. (Psalms 35:19)

Psalms 35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

In the Old Testament, David confessed to God that there were too many people who hated him for no reason. (Psalms 69:4)

Psalms 69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

Jesus was hated by people for no reason. It is written in the Old Testament that this is to be fulfilled in Christ. So this is proof that Jesus is the Christ. (John 15:24-25)

John 15:24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
