“Then said he, Lo, I come to do Thy will, Ο 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 6:37-4037All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39And 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. 40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:37‑40).) 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 was this for the holy One of God to take. The surety of His people. Thus was help laid on One mighty to save. My fellow believer! can you doubt the everlasting love of Jesus your surety? Hark, He speaks to the Father about you: He says, If 1 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 thee not to glory, I will bear the blame forever. Oh, how He loves!
