What does the cross reveal about the majesty of Christ?
Answered in 1 source
The cross reveals the majesty of Christ through the humility and sacrificial love exhibited in His willingness to take on our sins.
The cross is a profound revelation of Christ's majesty, as it showcases His willingness to lay down His life for sinners. In John 12, Jesus speaks of His glory being manifested through His impending death on the cross. This act of humility—where the sovereign King became the Lamb slain—displays the paradox of divine majesty. It highlights that true strength is shown in sacrificial love, fulfilling God's redemptive plan. This understanding transforms our view of God's authority, showing that His glory is not merely in power but also in grace, mercy, and the profound love that rescues us from our sins.
