Eternal Blessings

"The Lord gives victory to His anointed" (Psalm 20:6).

Jesus is the Christ (the anointed). Through His death and resurrection, Jesus has won the victory over Satan. He won the victory for us. He gives His victory to us. "Surely You have granted him eternal blessings" (Psalm 21:6).  Through the mighty victory of Jesus Christ (God's Anointed), there are "eternal blessings" - for us.  

"My God, God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Psalm 22:1). How do eternal blessings come to us through Christ? When we see Christ, suffering on the Cross, we must give thanks to God that His suffering was for us. For Him, there was suffering. For us, there is salvation. "'Tis mystery all! The Immortal dies ... Amazing love! how can it be that Thou, my God shouldst die for me! ... No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!"
