Daily Bible Nugget #606, Luke 24:26

The Nugget:

Luke 24:26  Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? (KJV)

Luke 24:26 Didn’t you know that the Messiah would have to suffer before he was given his glory?” (CEV)

My Comment:

With these words, Jesus gave all who will hear or read the key to understanding Messianic prophecy. What Jesus taught is directly stated in several of the Messianic Psalms. I would express it even more clearly by stating that the prophecies declare that Jesus, the Messiah, would have to first suffer and die for us on the cross. That represents the mission of His first coming. His Second Coming will be in  “power and great glory” (Matthew 24:30).
