VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. In crucifixion, Son of Man's honor was manifested.
"The time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory"
the glory is glorious indeed, but the entrance is by the way of the Cross. The Cross carries the shame with it, because during those times, the cross is the capital punishment for the worst criminals of their time, and since the LORD JESUS CHRIST took our place, we are the worst criminals but the LORD JESUS CHRIST made a way for us, so we can be Perfect and blameless in GOD's sight.
Matthew 10:38 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine.
Colossians 1:20 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.
There's no other way to salvation except the cross of Calvary, everyone needing salvation from his sins, need to go that way, it's a Must!!
Colossians 2:14-15 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.
Other religious cult thought the LORD JESUS CHRIST was a failure because He died, but the other way around, He was victorious thru the Cross.
Hebrews 12:2 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
He endured the pain and the shame on the Cross, so that you and I can enjoy the honor of GOD's throne.
1 Peter 2:24 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.
What men treats a shameful thing, CHRIST has embraced as the only way for us to be saved.
1 John 5:6 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
And Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross—not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony.
B. Honor of GOD, the Father, manifested thru CHRIST.
"and God will be glorified because of him. "
Luke 2:14 (New Century Version)
“Give glory to God in heaven, and on earth let there be peace among the people who please God.“
Yes, Infinitely Yes, the LORD JESUS CHRIST infinitely pleased GOD, the Father by His crucifixion on the Cross saving us from it, or rather saving us from capital punishment, which is death.
John 13:31-32 (New Century Version)
When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man receives his glory, and God receives glory through him.
If God receives glory through him, then God will give glory to the Son through himself. And God will give him glory quickly.“
Romans 3:23 (New Century Version)
All have sinned and are not good enough for God’s glory,
Romans 6:23 (New Century Version)
When people sin, they earn what sin pays—death. But God gives us a free gift—life forever in Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Corinthians 13:4 (New Century Version)
It is true that he was weak when he was killed on the cross, but he lives now by God’s power. It is true that we are weak in Christ, but for you we will be alive in Christ by God’s power.
Galatians 2:20 (New Century Version)
I was put to death on the cross with Christ, and I do not live anymore—it is Christ who lives in me. I still live in my body, but I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself to save me.
C. The devil does not know this because he was caged or jailed inside Juda's body. (John 13:27, 1 Corinthians 2:8, Hebrews 6:6)
John 13:27 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
When Judas had eaten the bread, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus told him, “Hurry and do what you’re going to do.”
1 Corinthians 2:8 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord.
Hebrews 6:6 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame.
GOD took the capital punishment on the Cross that was meant for us, along with it, He also took all our shame.
Luke 1:25 (New Century Version)
“Look what the Lord has done for me! My people were ashamed of me, but now the Lord has taken away that shame.“
Hebrews 12:2 (New Century Version)
Let us look only to Jesus, the One who began our faith and who makes it perfect. He suffered death on the cross. But he accepted the shame as if it were nothing because of the joy that God put before him. And now he is sitting at the right side of God’s throne.
Isaiah 8:14 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
He will keep you safe. But to Israel and Judah he will be a stone that makes people stumble, a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a trap and a snare.
Isaiah 28:16 (Amplified Bible)
Therefore thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am laying in Zion for a foundation a Stone, a tested Stone, a precious Cornerstone of sure foundation; he who believes (trusts in, relies on, and adheres to that Stone) will not be ashamed or give way or hasten away [in sudden panic].
Romans 9:33 (New International Version)
As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
1. The devil was entrapped inside Judas' body so the next thing that the LORD JESUS CHRIST said was not known to the devil
John 13:31 (New Living Translation, Second Edition)
As soon as Judas left the room, Jesus said, “The time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory, and God will be glorified because of him.
Some manuscripts claimed that after the devil possessed Judas' body, (take note, it's not just any other, ordinary demon but the devil himself possessed Judas and since the devil is just a finite creature, he's not omni present like our GOD, the Father so he can be trapped in one body and stay there inside and he did go out after the communion bread was handed to him by our LORD JESUS CHRIST. He did not take the bread, others said he took the bread and ate it then did go out in the middle of the night, but either way, the devil knows he will not benefit from the body of the LORD JESUS CHRIST because it was broken for the human race not the angelic race, since they are immortal and the humans are mortal.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Hebrews 12:2 (New International Version)
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
