Two great things which Jesus Christ undertook – Thomas Brooks

Our Lord Jesus Christ, by once suffering, suffered for all the sins of the elect past, present, and to come. The infinite wrath of God the Father fell on Him, for all the sins of the chosen ones. The wrath of God was infinite wrath, and the sufferings of Christ were infinite sufferings.

All the sins of God’s people, in their absolute number, from first to last, were laid upon Christ; who meritoriously purchased perfect remission of all their sins.

There are two great things which Jesus Christ undertook for His redeemed ones. The one was to make full satisfaction to divine justice for all their sins this He did by His suffering and death. The other was to yield most absolute conformity to the law of God, both in nature and life. By His suffering and death, He has freed all His redeemed ones from hell. By the imputation of His absolute conformity to the law of God, He has qualified all the redeemed ones for heaven.
