The Glory of the Cross

Dear Sister,

This may seem like an unlikely music video for glory, especially its beginning, but please take the five minutes or so to watch the entire thing. The New Testament cannot speak of glory without Jesus and the cross. Jesus was crowned with glory because he suffered on the cross, “But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone” (Heb 2:9). And we get our glory because of what Jesus did on the cross, “To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thes 2:14).”
There are two heart swelling moments for me in this video that have visualized for me the glory of the cross. The first comes when the wrath of hell is being blocked by the cross and the second is the man RUNNING to Christ in heaven. Oh how I glory in the cross because my wrath was taken by Jesus! Oh how I glory in the cross because it enables me to run to Jesus forever more! Glory!

All I have is Christ
