In His love and pity He redeemed them... (Isaiah 63:9).

"The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.... For this purpose I came to this hour" (John 12:23,27).

When we think of our Lord suffering on the cross, we may grieve for the physical abuse inflicted on His natural body. But this was nothing compared to the spiritual torment from which He suffered during the crucifixion, for this was the Lord's final and most grievous combat against the forces of hell. The Lord fought the hells from His love of saving the human race, so the devils of hell tried to make Him believe that there was no hope of salvation for the world.
