Les Feldick Bible Study

When was Christ glorified according to the New Testament?

According to the New Testament record of His death, burial, and resurrection, Christ was glorified when He defeated Satan at the cross. The prophets also foretold a future glory of His Kingdom that would follow His sufferings, which they could not fully understand.

Les Feldick explains from I Peter 1:10-11 that the Old Testament prophets inquired diligently about the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. He suggests the glory in that passage points to the future glory of Christ's Kingdom when He sets up His Kingdom. However, Les clarifies that from the New Testament record of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, Christ was really glorified when He defeated Satan at the cross. The prophets could not put it all together, but the New Testament reveals the cross as the point of glorification, while a future Kingdom glory still remains.

1 Peter 1:11

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
