The Father gave all honor to His Son, seating Him at His right
hand, far above all principalities and power. He expressed His great
joy and delight in receiving the Crucified One, and crowning Him with
glory and honor. And all the favors He has shown to His Son in His

Beloved. They suffer with Christ, and His glorification is of great
interest to them, because they are accepted in Him. God loves them as
He loves His Son.—
