the Passion of Jesus: crowned with glory and honor by ric gustafson
According to John 17:5, Jesus had glory with his Father before the world existed. Hebrews 2:9 says Jesus was crowned with glory and honor. God's Son was obedient to the point of death. The Lamb is worthy to receive honor and glory according to Revelation 5:12. There was a price for the crown. Jesus died to have it. The crown was the prize.
In order to love us, Jesus must seek the fullness of his glory. Jesus offers this glory to us. Jesus died for us so we can be with him forever. That is how Jesus loves.
The End.
