 The captain of our salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ, God manifested in the flesh. Our Lord, our Savior, seems for joy in the praise of God in the midst of the great assembly. He's singing for joy in the city of the living God, in the company of innumerable angels, in the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven. That's us, by the way. The Lord Jesus Christ will stand among us. He'll stand in our midst, the midst of those who He's not ashamed to call His brothers. And He will sing with joy to God our Father over us, sing praises to His name. Do you see that? It was for the joy that was set before Him that Jesus Christ endured the cross, despising the shame. What was that joy? The joy of bringing many sons to glory. The Lord Jesus who He's not ashamed to call His brothers, those for whom He died.
