“REWARDS OF THE MESSIAH FOR SUFFERING”

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

“This is why the Father loves me: because I lay down my life — in order to take it up again! No one takes it away from me; on the contrary, I lay it down of my own free will. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again…….” (John 10:17-18).

For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My own life–to take it back again. No one takes it away from Me. On the contrary, I lay it down voluntarily.

I put it from Myself. I am authorized and have power to lay it down, to resign it and I am authorized and have power to take it back again. These are the instructions and orders which I have received as My charge from My Father.

WHY WAS GOD PLEASED FOR THE DEATH OF JESUS?
The reason was to bring about the redemption of the whole creation in order to accomplish His divine purpose.
God the Father and the Son volunteered to suffer such indignities for the salvation of men. (John 3:16 / 10:18)

Such a sacrifice on the part of God showed His divine perfection / justice / mercy and boundless love. (Micah 6:8)
The law was upheld, sin was judged and a basis of pardon and eternal reconciliation was made possible.

REWARDS OF THE MESSIAH FOR SUFFERING Isaiah 53:10
He is exalted above all. (Isaiah 52:13 / Ephesians 1:20-23 / Philippians 2:9-11 / 1 Peter 3:22 / Revelations 11:15 / 20:4-6)

He became the Saviour of many nations. (Isaiah 52:15)
He became the Healer of all people. (Isaiah 53:4-5 / Matthew 8:16-17 / 1 Pet 2:24)

He brought about the restoration of all things. (Isaiah 53:11 / 1 Corinthians 15:24-28)
He brought about the justification of many who believed. (Isaiah 53:11)

He is great above all others. (Isaiah 53:12 / Ephesians 1:20-23 / Colossians 1:15-18 / 1 Peter 3:22)
He took portion with the great and the conquest of the strong. (Isaiah 53:12)

JESUS CHRIST IS THE LORD OF ALL!

Everybody shout, “AMEN & AMEN!”

Shalom and good morning.
