Our opening scripture tells us that the Lord Jesus saw joy ahead and that made him to endure the cross. What was that joy that He saw? He saw the outcome of His redemptive work and that was about us. He didn't just yield in death blindly, He saw the outcome and judged it worthwhile to face that painful and shameful Golgotha experience. He was result-oriented in His redemptive intervention for humanity. This was also portrayed in the parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl which He shared as recorded in Matthew 13:44-46, "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it". We are that treasure and fine pearls for which He paid everything with His very life. His joy was about what we would become as a result of His redemptive work. As He approached Golgotha, Jesus saw ahead a people recreated, with superior lives and divine capacity to carry and manifest His glory. He saw Himself expressed in them. He saw that His days on earth would be extended by those people. They will do exactly what he was doing. He saw man out of the hands of Satan and walking in dominion. True Love is not blind as the world suggests. This was true and divine love in demonstration. True love sees what its object would become, having transformative power for the current unpleasant situation. This is what was demonstrated in Christ to us. We are His joy. We are His precious jewelry and treasure. He paid everything for us. Glory to God.
