El Hijo del hombre [...] vino [...] para dar su alma en rescate en cambio por muchos (Mat. 20:28).
Al ser fiel hasta la muerte, Jesús resolvió un aspecto clave del “secreto sagrado” (Col. 1:26, 27). Probó de forma indiscutible que un hombre perfecto puede mostrar devoción a Dios y defender la soberanía divina a pesar de sufrir los peores ataques de Satanás (1 Tim. 3:16). Su vida fue el “rescate correspondiente” que se pagó para librarnos del pecado que hemos heredado de Adán. Además, nos permite tener vida eterna si lo aceptamos como el medio que Dios nos da para alcanzar la salvación (1 Tim. 2:5, 6). Cristo resucitó al tercer día y durante los siguientes cuarenta días se apareció a sus discípulos para demostrarles que estaba vivo y darles instrucciones adicionales (Hech. 1:3-5). Después ascendió al cielo a fin de presentar ante Jehová el valor de su incomparable sacrificio. Y aunque luego tuvo que esperar a que comenzara su presencia como Rey Mesiánico, durante todo ese tiempo se mantuvo muy ocupado.

The Son of man came . . . to give his soul a ransom in exchange for many.—Matt. 20:28.
Jesus’ faithfulness unto death resolved an important aspect of the “sacred secret.” (Col. 1:26, 27) He proved to the ultimate degree that a perfect man can maintain “godly devotion” and uphold God’s sovereignty despite the severest of tests imposed by Satan. (1 Tim. 3:16) And, as “a corresponding ransom,” Jesus paid the penalty for sin inherited by Adam’s offspring and made it possible to give everlasting life to all who accept him as God’s means of salvation. (1 Tim. 2:5, 6) After three days in the grave, Christ was resurrected, and for 40 days he appeared to his disciples, proving that he was alive and giving them further instructions. (Acts 1:3-5) Then he ascended to heaven to present to Jehovah the value of his precious sacrifice and await the appointed time when his presence as Messianic King would begin. In the meantime, he had much to do.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
