Christ's Sufferings (3)
He suffered everything that was required to repair and make up the glory of God. Better you and I and all the world should perish than God should be damaged in His glory. It is a truth, and I hope God will bring all our hearts to say, Christ hath suffered to make up that. The obedience that was in the sufferings of Christ brought more glory unto God than the disobedience of Adam, who was the original of the apostacy of the whole creation from God, brought dishonor unto Him. That which seemed to reflect great dishonor upon God was that all His creatures should as one man fall off by apostacy from Him. God will have His honor repaired, and it is done by the obedience of Christ much more.
He suffered in His soul; yea, the sufferings of His soul were the very soul of His sufferings. He felt in His inner man the exquisite torments and inexpressible anguish of the wrath of God.
