Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that
was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest
care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit
of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the
Messiah and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them
that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of
the things that have now been told you by those who have preached
the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels
long to look into these things.

Isaiah 53:3-6 NIV
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and
familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was
despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our
transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that
brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We
all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own
way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was
buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave.

1 Peter 1:18-20 MSG
It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life
you grew up in. He paid with Christ’s sacred blood, you know. He
died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no
afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the
ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was
going to do this for you. It’s because of this sacrificed Messiah,
whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust
God, that you know you have a future in God.

I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will
continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ
