“And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send Me” (Isaiah 6:8).
Long before this world was made, there was consultation within the Godhead—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—as to who would come down into this world and settle the whole matter of sin. There was only One who was suited to go, and that was our Lord Jesus Christ. He must become a man to come down into this world, and His immediate reply is, “Here am I; send Me.” What a blessed answer to the cry, “Who will go for us?”
Sometimes you and I may volunteer to do something, but we do not realize how difficult it is going to be. Then, when we find how hard it is, perhaps we wish we had not been so quick to volunteer. However, the Lord Jesus knew exactly what this world was like, and He knew that He would be rejected by His own people. He also knew that He must be crucified and die, and then rise again the third day. Yet His love motivated Him to say, “Here am I; send Me.” What love was His! The Lord Jesus will never be disappointed in what He has done on the cross, for God’s glory and for our blessing.
