When he [Judas] was gone, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified and God is glorified in him.” John 13:31
In the powerful old hymn "Beneath the Cross of Jesus," we sing “my glory all the cross." That was genuinely true of Jesus. While other human leaders try to find glory in all sorts of ways, Jesus' path to glory was the cross, because he was not after acclaim, but wanted to obey and glorify the Father! When Judas left the Last Supper, the final stages of the process was set in motion that would bring Jesus to the horrors of Calvary. But rather than seeing the cross as his degradation, it was his way of glorifying God. Be Blessed Today, Comments are closed.
