By mans transgression this friendly estate between God and Man was lost and all mankind plunged into an estate of alienation and aversation from God and enmity against God 3. This alienation and difference is mutual on both sides 1. On Mans. Col. 1. 21. You that were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works yet now hath he reconciled So Rom. 8. 7. The carnal mind is enmity against God and is not subject to the Law of God neither indeed can be 2. On Gods God owns him not will have no fellowship with him Mat. 7. 23. Luk. 13. 17.

Jesus Christ a mighty Person undertook the Office of a Mediator and has made peace for many and will make peace for all the Father hath given him This may be illustrated by the making up of the breach between David and Absalom 2 Sam. 14. 1. David and Absalom were good friends at first 2. Absalom kills Amnon and thereby offends David 3.

Even so was Gods heart towards transgressing offending fallen Man His Soul longed to go forth unto fallen man His kindness and love towards man appeared Tit. 3. 4. which Eph. 2. 7. is called the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness towards us through Christ Jesus This he shewed God so loved the world that he gave his onely begotten Son that we might live through him Read Joh. 3. 16. 1 Joh. 4. 9. 2. Joab perceives it 2 Sam. 14. 1. So Christ knew the Fathers love to Man being in his bosom Joh. 1. 18. The onely begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father he hath declared him None knows the Father but the Son and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him Mat. 11. 27. 3.

So saith Christ Man hath sinned let his iniquity be upon me As once Abigail said to David when her Husband had offended Upon me upon me let this iniquity be 1 Sam. 25. 24. And as Rebecca said to Jacob when he feared he should bring a Curse on him by seeking a blessing in a wrong way Upon me be thy curse Gen. 27. 13. So said Christ to his Father Upon me be the curse of the Law which Man hath transgressed And as Paul to Philemon concerning Onesimus Phil. 18.
