Yes, He came into the world to give us rest (like we read in Matt11:28 yesterday), but in doing this he had to be the undeserving carrier of the labour and the burdens that He gave us rest from (Isaiah53:4&5).
The thing is man had tried so hard to bear
the burden, to break free from the chains, but the harder we tried, the deeper into sin we went, we just could not free ourselves (Isaiah59:9-16).
He had to be born to die so that He could destroy the works of the devil (1John3:8). He came to swallow the ticking bomb of sin that had been placed on our backs and He was blown up in our place.
