Hebrews 10:7 KJV
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Clark says, "... God willed not the sacrifices under the law, but he willed that a human victim of infinite merit should be offered for the redemption of mankind."[1]
For Christ, doing the will of God meant, raised in a poor home, having His stepfather die while Christ was still a boy, having no place to lay His head, enduring the trials of people refusing to heed His message, facing nearly three years of plots against His life, having one of His closest friends betray Him, facing the cross to die
But it was worth it
All who call upon Him will rule and reign with Him in eternity.

But it was worth it
- He rose again
- He paid the only price sufficient to save lost souls
- He has changed the course of the world
- He put away the corruptible commandment and established a new one from God
- He sits today at the right hand of the Heavenly Father
All who call upon Him will rule and reign with Him in eternity.
