Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory? Luke 24:26
In the upper room, our Saviour announced that His anticipated sufferings at Calvary were before Him. He knew every pain He would experience. Three days later those unparalleled sufferings were history. As He joined those He loved on the road to Emmaus, He heard of their concern for His sufferings and said, “Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory?” (Luke 24:26) As Calvary’s Victor, He will eternally receive the glory (1 Pet. 1:11). May our hearts today give Him the glory that is His due. —Arnot P. McIntee
Glory, glory everlasting, be to Him, who bore the Cross!
Who redeemed our souls by tasting death, the death deserved by us:
Spread His glory, who redeemed His people thus. —Thomas Kelly
