Wrongs and indignities may be offered to Christ still, in sundry ways.

1. In His person. By vilifying Him, as do Turks, Jews, and heathen. Also, when any deny or oppose His Nature — either the Godhead or the Manhood, as do heretics. Also, when any profane the blood of Christ, by remaining unrepentant, or turning apostate.

2. In His office, as Mediator; putting any person or thing in His place.

3. In His names or titles; using them profanely.

4. In His saints and faithful members; wronging or abusing them.

5. In His messengers and ministers (Luke 10:16).

6. In His holy ordinances; the Word, sacraments, etc. (1 Corinthians 11:27). By this we may examine whether the love to Christ which we profess is true and sincere. Does this child love his father, or that servant his master, who can hear him abused and reproached?

KJV: And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

WEB: As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me."
