Jesus Paid a Great Price to Give Us Eternal Righteousness ㅡ

 “He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.”

 (Isaiah 53:11)

 The only begotten Son of God consented to leave the heavenly courts and come to our world to live with an ungrateful people who refused His gracious mercies.

He consented to live a life of poverty, and to endure suffering and temptation.

He became a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.

The people whom He came to bless rejected Him.

They put Him to shame and caused Him untold suffering.

They placed upon His head a crown of thorns that pierced His holy temples.

They beat Him with a scourge, and then they nailed Him to the cross.

Yet amid it all, no word of complaint escaped His lips ∙∙∙ .

Christ bore all this suffering in order to obtain the right to confer eternal righteousness upon as many as would believe on Him.

When we are having a hard time, let us consider how much our salvation cost the God of the universe.

 (This Day With God 216)
