To him shall men come

'To him shall men come'

— Isaiah 45:24

Can we be sure that Christ will see of the travail of his soul with satisfaction? Can we be sure that all of God’s elect will come to Christ and be saved? Indeed we can! It is written of our Lord: ‘Thou hast the dew of thy youth.’ King Jesus does not grow old. His purpose does not change. His vision is not dimmed. His power has not diminished. He is God over all and blessed for ever. Like himself, his grace is immutable. He will not fail! He will have his redeemed ones. When all is done, when all the Lord’s enemies are in hell, when all his decrees have been accomplished, Christ will stand before the Father with all the hosts of his people to present them before the presence of his glory, saying, ‘Lo, I and the children thou hast given me.’

It is not possible that the Son of God could fail in his work of redemption. ‘By his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.’ ‘He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied.’ We believe, according to Scripture, that our Lord died as a Substitute for sinners, that he fully satisfied the law of God in our place and finished the work of redemption. And every soul for whom the Son of God suffered and died will be with him in glory. He did not make us redeemable, reconcilable and pardonable. He redeemed, reconciled and pardoned his people!
