 By Taking upon Himself Suffering and Shame in Our Stead Jesus Gives Us Everlasting Glory ㅡ

 “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” (Hebrews 2:10)

We cannot appreciate our Redeemer in the highest sense until we can see Him by the eye of faith reaching to the very depths of human wretchedness, taking upon Himself the nature of man, the capacity to suffer, and by suffering putting forth His divine power to save and lift sinners up to companionship with Himself. 

Consider the Captain of our salvation. He suffered shame for us that we might not suffer everlasting shame and contempt.

 He suffered on the cross, that mercy might be granted to fallen man.

 God’s justice is preserved, and guilty man is pardoned. Jesus dies that the sinner might live.

 Shame is borne by the Son of the Highest for the sake of poor sinners, that they might be ransomed and crowned with eternal glory.

 (That I May Know Him 287)
