3. He comes in great Glory, that he may be as a Pledge, and Pattern, and Cause of our Glory. Christ's Coming is still suited to his Work: There is his first Coming, and that is in Humility, for we fell by Pride; he came to redeem us, therefore he comes humbly and lowly, in the form of a Servant, as one that came to suffer, not to ruffle it in the World, and tread upon the Necks of Kings. Then there is his spiritual coming into the Heart to sanctify it; this coming is invisible; it is with great Power, but hidden. But when he comes to glorify us, his Coming is suitable to his Work, that is visible in Power and great Glory; therefore it is said, Col. 3.3. When Christ who is our Life shall appear, then shall we also appear with him in Glory. Christ is to have all first, and we at second-hand, when he comes in Grace; John 17.19. For their sakes I sanctify my self, that they also may be sanctified through the Truth. So we must be glorified at second-hand, first Christ, and then we.
