153. Christ’s Faultlessness

Pilate and the believing thief both confessed there was “no fault” in Him, and that He had done “nothing amiss” (Luk_23:14, Luk_23:41). The word “amiss” is rendered “harm” (Act_28:6), and “unreasonable” (2Th_3:2), in the two other places where “atopon” occurs. There was nothing unreasonable in Christ’s teaching, there was no harm in His actions, and not anything amiss in His character.

1. He did no sin—1Pe_2:22.

2. In Him was no sin—1Jn_3:5.

3. He knew no sin—2Co_5:21.

4. He was holy, harmless, and undefiled, and separate from every vile association—Heb_7:26.

The greatest character that ever lived died the most shameful and undeserved death that was ever experienced.
