YOUR LIFE WILL BRING CHRIST GREAT JOY

Isaiah 53:10-11 (KJV, GNB)

The LORD says, “It was my will that he should suffer; his death was a sacrifice to bring forgiveness. And so he will see his descendants; he will live a long life, and through him my purpose will succeed. After a life of suffering, he will again have joy; he will know that he did not suffer in vain. My devoted servant, with whom I am pleased, will bear the punishment of many and for his sake I will forgive them.

In talking about the sufferings of Christ, in the King James Version, the first line of our text above says, “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him…” What? It sounds really terrible that God the Father was pleased or glad to let Jesus go through all the torment and suffering that He went through, right? Who will gladly let his dear and only son go through such an experience? But do you know why God was glad to let Christ go through all He went through on the cross? It was because of the glory, power, blessings and fullness of God that you were going to experience by faith in Christ. It is because of all that you were going to become and be able to do because of the suffering and death of Christ.

This is what made Christ able to go through all the suffering, shame and pain that He went through. You are the joy that was set before Him, (Heb.12:2). By all that Christ went through on the Cross, you have now been empowered to live a glorious life and to be all that God wants you to be. The glory, power and blessings of God in your life are unstoppable. Your life will bring great joy and glory to God. Because of you, Jesus will see and know that He did not suffer in vain. He has given you His Spirit to help you know and experience the glory, power and blessings of His sacrifice for you (John 16:13-15) and He is also interceding for you before God the Father, (Heb.7:25).

Faith Declaration:
The suffering and death of Christ will not be in vain in my life. My life experiences and manifests the glory of God.
