The Lord Jesus received the wrath of God on the cross for the sins of his people in order to bless them with eternal life. On the cross, Jesus took their sins, and they received his righteousness. Jesus became poor, so that they would be made rich. Jesus was condemned and forsaken so that they may be adopted. Listen as Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven expounds from Isaiah 61:1-11 the great investment Jesus made and the glorious prizes that believers receive because of his investment. “Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.”
