To bear the sins of many; to die on account of them, in the room and stead of sinners; the just for the unjust. 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18.

Them that look for him; his people, who expect his coming to judgment. Matthew 25:31-46.

Without sin; not as before to suffer for sin, but to give his people free, full, and everlasting salvation. As Christ has borne the sins of his people, and is coming for their deliverance from all evil and their introduction to the eternal enjoyment of all good, they ought to be ever rejoicing; giving thanks to God through Jesus Christ, and adoring him who, though he was rich, for their sakes became poor, that they through his poverty might be for ever rich.
