The Lord Jesus Christ knew what he had come to do from the beginning. He knew his place in the plan of God. He knew that it was the central hinge on which all of God’s plan turned, and the work he had come to do in laying down his life was the foundation of all else. He delighted to obey his heavenly Father, and therefore all sin and all temptation was abhorrent to him. He knew that what was written about him must come to pass because the word of God cannot be broken. Nothing could deter him from the path which was appointed for him, and every obstacle was overcome, until Satan had been deprived of his spoil and all the children of God set free. His atoning death left no charge to bring against a single one of those he died for. They are justified forever.
