They called Christ’s true self-revelation blasphemy and condemned Him as deserving death. In fact, if His word had been false, that would have been blasphemy; but since He truly is the Son of God, their verdict became the greatest injustice.

Yet through this death sentence the way was being fulfilled by which Christ would bear our condemnation and deliver His people from eternal death.
