The Pleasure of God in the Death of His Son

God's pleasure in the death of his son is always a pleasure that has resurrection in view. The one who had no form or majesty that we should look upon him becomes the majestic one. Nothing moves the divine heart like the exaltation and glory of his incarnate. Perfect, crucified, risen, reigning son. We want to worship this Christ. He shall be high and lifted up and exalted.
