I. A SHAMEFUL DEATH AWAITS ABOMINABLE CRIME. "Worthy, of death," lit., if there be on a man a right of death, "he was hanged upon a tree."

II. PUBLIC IGNOMINY EXPRESSED IN THIS SHAMEFUL DEATH. Penalty for crime, detestation of the perpetrator, and the curse of God.

III. THE DESIRABILITY OF TAKING AWAY THE MEMORY OF THIS SHAME. "He shall not remain all night," take him down from the tree and bury him; blot out his name and remove the curse.

IV. CHRIST ALONE REMOVES THE CURSE. The best of men treated as one of the vilest, died the just for the unjust, "who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree."

(J. Wolfendale.).
