If you recall the last time we looked at:
Thank God we belong to Him – Part 4
"Ought not Christ to have suffered these things (means the Bible predicted His Sufferings, which should have been obvious to His followers and would have been had they only devoted time and attention to the Word of God), and to enter into His glory?" (Proclaims that the Bible does outline the coming Kingdom of Glory, hence the “Triumphant Messiah;” however, it must be preceded by the mission of “Suffering Messiah.”) Luke 24:26 (Blue is scripture – Red are notes)
"Our Lord’s Cross is the gateway into His life: His Resurrection means that He has power now to convey His life to me. When I am born again from above, I receive from the risen Lord His very life. Our Lord’s Resurrection destiny is to bring 'many sons unto glory.’... His resurrection means for us that we are raised to His risen life, not to our old life. One day we shall have a body like unto His glorious body, but we can know now the efficacy of His resurrection and walk in newness of life. 'I would know Him in the power of His resurrection.’... Thank God it is gloriously and majestically true that the Holy Spirit can work in us the very nature of Jesus if we will obey Him."
