CHAP. VII. The Glory of Christ in his Exaltation, after the Accomplishment of the Work of Mediation in this World.
WE may in the next Place behold the Glory of Christ with respect unto his Office in the Actings of God towards him, which ensued on his Discharge of it in this World, in his own Exaltation.
THESE are the two Heads, whereunto all the Prophesies and Predictions concerning Jesus Christ under the Old Testament are referred, namely, his Sufferings, and the Glory that ensued thereon, 1 Pet. 1. 11. All the Prophets testified beforehand of the Sufferings of Christ, and the Glory that should follow. So when he himself opened the Scriptures unto his Disciples, he gave them this as the Sum of the Doctrine contained in them; Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his Glory, Luk. 24. 26. The same is frequently expressed elsewhere, Rom. 14. 9. Phil. 2. 5, 6, 7, 8.
So much as we know of Christ, his Sufferings and his Glory; so much do we understand of the Scripture, and no more.
