Zanele Tlhakanelo Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Jesus' glory is displayed in His crucifixion when He asked the Father to forgive all those people because they did not know what they were doing. Him being humiliated, mocked and beaten, He could still find in His heart to ask the Father to forgive us of all the sins. When one of the thieves hung up ask Jesus to be with him in Paradise, He did not remind him of all the things he had done but said "Today, you will be with me in Paradise". In His trial, He knew that He was God but did not display that in front of His accusers and politely responded by saying "Just what you say". In His resurrection when He walked with the two men on their way to Emmaus and did not recognize Him even when He told them about all the prophesies and all that was written in the Word. It was only when He took the Bread and blessed it that their eyes were opened and He vanished from their sight. When He appeared before His disciples and said "Peace be with you". The door was still locked because His disciples were still afraid but He showed up. The manner in which Jesus responded to all the insults by keeping quiet and asking God to forgive those who were crucifying Him and the centurion when the sun went down at noon after Jesus had given His life to God, convinced the two that this was not an ordinary man but was indeed the Son of God. His glory is seen in the midst of suffering because He suffered Himself while on earth. He understands all the emotions and feelings that mankind go through and as such knows how to comfort us.
