What does the Bible say about the glorification of Christ?
Answered in 7 sources
The Bible reveals that Christ is glorified through His death, as it accomplishes the redemption of His people and fulfills God's plan.
In John 13:31-32, Jesus declares, 'Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him.' This statement signifies that Christ's impending death will bring glory to God by accomplishing the greatest work of redemption. In His death, Christ fulfilled the prophetic scriptures and displayed God's plan for salvation, demonstrating His obedience and love. Thus, Christ's glorification is intrinsically linked to His sacrifice on the cross, where He purposed to save His people from their sins and glorify God through His perfect obedience and sacrificial love.
