<\/a> The cross is called Christ\u2019s glory; it is saluted as his his triumph. We recognise it as the cup he longed to drink and the climax of the sufferings he endured for our sake. As to the cross being Christ\u2019s glory, listen to his words: Now is the Son of Man glorified, and in him God is glorified, and God will glorify him at once. And again: Father, glorify me with the glory I had with you before the world came to be. And once more: \u201cFather, glorify your name.\u201d Then a voice came from heaven: \u201cI have glorified it and will glorify it again.\u201d Here he speaks of the glory that would accrue to him through the cross. And if you would understand that the cross is Christ\u2019s triumph, hear what he himself also said: When I am lifted up, then I will draw all men to myself. Now you can see that the cross is Christ\u2019s glory and triumph. \u2014from the Office of Readings<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The cross is called Christ\u2019s glory; it is saluted as his his triumph.
