God’s People Delivered
351
The cross will be the song of the redeemed through all eternity.
In Christ glorified they behold Christ crucified. Never will it be
forgotten that the Majesty of heaven humbled Himself to uplift
fallen man, that He bore the guilt and shame of sin and the hiding of
His Father’s face till the woes of a lost world broke His heart and
crushed out His life. The Maker of all worlds laid aside His glory
from love to man—this will ever excite the wonder of the universe.
As the nations of the saved look upon their Redeemer and know that
His kingdom is to have no end, they break forth in song: “Worthy is
the Lamb that was slain, and hath redeemed us to God by his own
most precious blood!”
The mystery of the cross explains all mysteries. It will be seen
that He who is infinite in wisdom could devise no plan for our
salvation except the sacrifice of His Son. The compensation for this
sacrifice is the joy of peopling the earth with ransomed beings, holy,
happy, and immortal. Such is the value of the soul that the Father
is satisfied with the price paid. And Christ Himself, beholding the
fruits of His great sacrifice, is satisfied.
