Jesus Gave His Life for My Eternal Happiness ㅡ

 “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.”

 (John 10:11)

 Ever before Him, Christ saw the result of His mission.

By giving His life for the life of men, He would restore in humanity the image of God.

He would lift us up from the dust, reshape the character after the pattern of His own character, and make it beautiful with His own glory.

Christ saw of the travail of His soul and was satisfied.

He viewed the expanse of eternity and saw the happiness of those who through His humiliation should receive pardon and everlasting life.

He was wounded for their transgressions, bruised for their iniquities.

The chastisement of their peace was upon Him, and with His stripes they were healed.

He heard the shout of the redeemed.

He heard the ransomed ones singing the song of Moses and the Lamb.

Although the baptism of blood must first be received, although the sins of the world were to weigh upon His innocent soul, although the shadow of an unspeakable woe was upon Him; yet for the joy that was set before Him He chose to endure the cross and despised the shame.

 (Maranatha 316)
