Proverbs 8:30-31 KJV
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
There can be little doubt that this passage is a portrait of Christ and His relationship with His Heavenly Father. It has been a blessing to me now for a few weeks to meditate upon the things that please God.
The Bible says God is delighted in His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is His daily delight, and Jesus rejoices always before Him.
God delights in working alongside His Son, not only in the creation of the world, but also in the redemption of man. Nothing comes as a shock or surprise to the Lord and since God is sovereign, no one can make God do anything He is not pleased to do. Whatever God does is His pleasure to do it.
With that in mind, one could deduce that it was God's pleasure send His Son to this earth, and it was Christ's pleasure to die for lost sinners. God delighted in His sacrifice so we could be saved. Not that the experience was pleasant, but He was not forced to do it and was delighted to do it for the benefit of mankind.
What grace!
