“For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.” Psalm 22:24
The answer to every prayer ever spoken came through the death, burial and resurrection of CHRIST.
The FATHER heard the cry of mankind and saw the need for their salvation. Because GOD is fully righteous the obstacle that stood in the path of man was his sin.
To understand GODs eminence love for man is indeed hard to comprehend. He was not only willing to give His only begotten SON but applauded what His SON went through to accomplish the “victory that overcomes the world, even our sin"!
When I cry out to GOD, I will think of the cross
And from the grave that JESUS rose.
I will think of the pain and suffering He took
And how the FATHER, He never opposed!
In delight He looked on, at what JESUS went through
It was a “sweet smelling savour" to Him.
All praise to the FATHER, who gave His SON
Who’s victory would remove all of man’s sin!
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:5-11
