“Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied.”
(Isaiah 53:11)
“The happiness of Christ’s exalted state consists, in a great degree, in the pleasure of seeing the designs of His death accomplished in the conversion and salvation of sinners. … See the strength of the love of Jesus! If you are but saved, He does not begrudge His blood and life for you. Your salvation makes amends for all His sufferings. This He accounts His greatest joy—a joy more than equivalent to all the pains He endured for you. He has full satisfaction for all the sorrows you have caused Him.”
—Samuel Davies, “The Sufferings of Christ, and Their Consequent Joys and Blessings”

That Christ could find joy in saving me from sin and death is incomprehensible.
