- He was abandoned - so that God would never abandon His people
- He was friendless - so that He could become a greater friend to His people
- He was stripped naked - so that His people could be clothed in the Robe of Righteousness and Garment of Salvation
- He had a crown of thorns on His head - so that His people could be a crown of glory and royal diadem in the hand of His Father
- He had holes in His hands and feet - so that His people could be made whole
- He was surrounded by darkness - so that His people could be penetrated by the light of his glory
- His life was drained from His body - so that His people could have new life in Him and never die, spiritually
- He was thirsty - so that we would never have to thirst [spiritually] again
- He took our sins upon Himself - so that we could be forgiven
- He rose again (hallelujah) - so that one day His people will rise with Him and go to glory
AMAZING LOVE, AMAZING GRACE, AMAZING SACRIFICE!
