“Received up into glory.” — 1 Timothy 3:16
We have seen our well-beloved Lord in the days of His flesh, humiliated and sore vexed; for He was “despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” He whose brightness is as the morning, wore the sackcloth of sorrow as His daily dress: shame was His mantle, and reproach was His vesture. Yet now, inasmuch as He has triumphed over all the powers of darkness upon the bloody tree, our faith beholds our King returning with dyed garments from Edom, robed in the splendour of victory. How glorious must He have been in the eyes of seraphs, when a cloud received Him out of mortal sight, and He ascended up to heaven! Now He wears the glory which He had with God or ever the earth was, and yet another glory above all — that which He has well earned in the…
fight against sin, death, and hell. As victor He wears the
illustrious crown. Hark how the song swells high! It is a new and sweeter
song: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, for He hath redeemed us unto
God by His blood!” He wears the glory of an Intercessor who can never
fail, of a Prince who can never be defeated, of a Conqueror who has
vanquished every foe, of a Lord who has the heart’s allegiance of every
subject. Jesus wears all the glory which the pomp of heaven can bestow
upon Him, which ten thousand times ten thousand angels can minister to
Him. You cannot with your utmost stretch of imagination conceive His
exceeding greatness; yet there will be a further revelation of it when He
shall descend from heaven in great power, with all the holy angels —
”Then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory.” Oh, the splendour of
that glory! It will ravish His people’s hearts. Nor is this the close, for
eternity shall sound His praise, “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever!”
Reader, if you would joy in Christ’s glory hereafter, He must be glorious
in your sight now. Is He so?
