"Then said He, Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." Heb. 10:9, 109Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Hebrews 10:9‑10). "And this is the Father's will which hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing." John 6:3939And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. (John 6:39). There is a striking illustration of suretyship in the words of Judah to Joseph, concerning his brother Benjamin. "For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father forever." Gen. 44:3232For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever. (Genesis 44:32).
What a place this was for the holy One of God to take: He became surety for His people. My fellow-believer! can you doubt the everlasting love of Jesus your surety? Listen as He speaks to the Father about you: He says, If I bring him not unto Thee, I will bear the blame forever.
Has He died for you, the Just for the unjust? Has He loved you and washed you from your sins in His own blood? And now will He fail, can He fail to bring you to glory? No! He says, If I bring you not to glory, I will bear the blame forever. Oh, how He loves!
