"And thus in the Servant was shewed the scathe (injury) and blindness of Adam's falling; and in the Servant was shewed the wisdom and goodness of God's Son. And in the Lord was shewed the ruth and pity of Adam's woe, and in the Lord was shewed the high nobility and the endless worship that Mankind is come to by the virtue of the Passion and death of His dearworthy Son. And therefore mightily He joyeth in his falling for the high raising and fulness of bliss that Mankind is come to, overpassing that we should have had if he had not fallen.—And thus to see this overpassing nobleness was mine understanding led into God in the same time that I saw the Servant fall."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 52)
In the Parable of the Lord and the Servant that God showed Julian, we see Adam in the Servant's falling, but then we never see the Servant Adam again. Instead, the focus shifts to Christ as the Servant who succeeds in rescuing Adam, bringing Adam to a place of nobility higher than if Adam had never fallen. So we see that humanity's part in this Story is simply to fall and get hurt. We don't have any part or work after that. Christ has the main role, the only role. Christ does all the work of saving and restoring and blessing and glorifying. We do nothing but fall down and need rescue. This salvation is all up to Christ, not us at all. That means this salvation is secure and perfect. If it were up to us in any way, there could be doubt over whether it was good enough or done well enough. But it is all up to Christ. Therefore, it is perfect, it is complete, it is well done!
Christ has already saved us, delivered us, raised us up to the heights, brought us to high nobility, and brought us to fullness of bliss. It is finished! And this high nobleness that humanity was raised to by Christ was seen in God from the very moment Adam fell! For He is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. When humanity fell, Christ already fell and retrieved Adam and did all that it took to bring Adam back and raise him higher than ever. Salvation has been ours, secure in Christ the dearworthy Son of God, from the foundation of the world. God has left nothing in doubt. We have never really been lost from Him. We have always been in His care. And we always will be!
[Christ] was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.

The Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
1 John 4:14 (GNT)

John 4:34 (AMP)
A Prayer: It is a relief to know that I don't have to work for my salvation. It is a relief to know that You did all the work to save me and "it is finished!"
