2. For Christ, What was the business that brought him from the Fathers bosom, made him content to take our nature upon him, to suffer, and to be a man of sorrows, so as to delight in it? there was a kind of delight to Christ in enduring the wrath of God; for with desire (says Christ) have I desired to eat this Passover, because it was the Preparation to his Death and Sufferings of the wrath of God, in all the fruits and effects of it for the sin of Man; and when Christ came to institute the Sacrament of the Lords Supper, and to give his blood for the remission of sins, the Text says, He gave thanks; What did he give thanks for? surely the thing for which he gave thanks for, (upon which the Supper of the Lord is called the Eucharist, from the Greek word that signifies Thanksgiving;) was this, that by his death Remission of sins should be obtained: when Christ was to die & suffer all the wrath of God that was due for our sins, Christ blessed God & thanked God the Father for it: surely there must be some great matter to sweeten it; that he should be so affected as to bless God the Father for that that cost him his life, and yet he did: Mark what it is that satisfies Christ for all this, Isa. 53.10. ⟨p. 56⟩It pleased the Lord to bruise him, and his soul was made an offering for sin: all was laid upon Christ; Well, but what did Christ look for for all this? Vers. 11. He shall see of the travel of his soul and shall be satisfied; that that shall satisfy Christ for all his pains, labour and sufferings, shall be to see of the travel of his soul; What is that? What is the travel of Christs soul? What? Why by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; as if Christ had said, this is the very thing my Soul travels for, in all that I have done or suffered in all my life, that I might but bring this great business to pass, to justify some souls, to get the sin of those poor souls that are thine Elect pardoned, and their persons justified: this my soul travels for, and oh Father let me but see this, the travel of my Soul, and I am satisfied: Christ accounted it worth all the travel of his Soul, in all he did and suffered, that he might justify some souls, as if he had said, he would have no other boon from his Father but only this; Father if thou wilt but recompense all my travel with this, I shall for ever account my self that I am satisfied, and have enough:
