The ESV and the NIV, the popular modern versions, mistranslate it, which is very sad. They say, ‘with whom I am well pleased.’ That is entirely wrong. God the Father is not simply well pleased or delighted with the Son; his delight is in the Son. The Son is God as much as the Father. All the Father's delight is in the Son. That’s very profound. It's not merely with the Son; ‘in’ is correct. That is very important to us, because in Paul's letter to the Ephesians 1:5-6, we read these words, ‘Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.’ He is the delight of God, but listen: ‘to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved’ – in the beloved. The Father's pleasure is in the Son. He has loved him, and all his pleasure is in Christ, in eternity past. His pleasure is in Christ in heaven, and his pleasure is in Christ's compassionate ministry on earth. All his pleasure is in Christ as he suffers and dies on Calvary's cross and does that astonishing thing, bearing away an eternity of punishment out of sheer love. If God looks on us, he is indignant at our sin and horrified at our perversity. Constantly he is disappointed at our inconsistencies, so he chooses to see us in Christ. He is his delight, and we are seen in him.
