What does the Bible say about the glory of Christ's death?

Answered in 2 sources

The death of Christ is His greatest achievement, glorifying God by accomplishing salvation for His elect.

The glory of Christ's death is profound as it reveals God's character and plan for salvation. In John 17:1, Jesus states, 'Father, the hour is come. Glorify thy Son, that thy Son also might glorify thee.' This reflects that His death is not just a tragic event but rather an accomplished work that displays God's sovereignty, justice, and mercy in dealing with sin. As stated in Romans 10, the message of the cross is essential for understanding how God's justice can coexist with His grace.

The cross demonstrates the darkest and brightest aspects of humanity and divine purpose. While it reveals man's profound depravity—illustrated when humanity, left to its own devices, crucified the Creator—it is also the ultimate act of obedience and love from God the Son. Jesus' death was not a failure, but a glorious fulfillment of the work appointed to Him by the Father, culminating in the justification and salvation of God's elect. It stands as the cornerstone of the believer's hope and the manifestation of God's glorious attributes.
