Christ and His Children
When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed.
~ Isaiah 53:10
"Our Lord Jesus has not died in vain. He died as our substitute because death was the penalty of our sins. By death, He became like the corn of wheat that brings forth much fruit. There must be a succession of children unto Jesus; He is "the Father of the everlasting age."
A man is honored in his sons, and Jesus has His quiver full of these arrows of the mighty. A man is represented in his children, and so is the Christ in Christians.
Jesus lives, for He sees His seed. He fixes His eye on us; He delights in us; He recognizes us as the fruit of His soul's work. Let us be glad that our Lord does not fail to enjoy the result of His sacrifice. Those eyes which once wept for us are now viewing us with pleasure. He looks upon those who are looking unto Him. What a joy is this!"
