How glorious is our Lord Jesus! He absorbed, even exhausted, the wrath of God, drinking the cup to the last drop. He was crushed by it, though not finally. His sacrifice was accepted, and God’s justice vindicated. He was raised from the dead, to intercede, to advocate, on behalf of the elect.It is finished! God’s plan is immutable. The accuser of the brethren is himself condemned, our victory assured by the character of God himself. My heart hesitates to believe such unbelievable news, but the Spirit reassures me it is so. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let my mouth not be silent in giving Him praise all my days. Is this not worth my whole heart, my whole life? Yes, and in fact demands them.
