Jesus said, "Was it not ordained that the Christ should suffer and so enter into His glory?"
Luke 24

The suffering of the Son of Man is the lynchpin of His glory in the Father's world. The glory of the Father's Son is the reflected radiance of the Father's love and of the Son's love for the Father. But Incarnate Love chose to abandon His divine and glorious radiance in the world of men that He might offer all the sons of men a way of life and means of their salvation. So He identified in all things with the human state save that which separates the soul with union with the Father, namely sin and wilful following of selfish ends which is the soul's great enemy.

And that identifying of the Father's beloved Son with man's condition made necessary the suffering and death of Love Incarnate. This is a mystery one day to be revealed and fully understood. But all My faithful followers identify with My eternal offering and, in the context of that mystery, become a part of it. But through My resurrection and My rise life I bring the victory of My death into the lives of Our beloved followers as they give themselves to Our unfailing love.
