Had the Lord remained on His throne in glory, He would never have been our Savior.
That exalted head could not save apart from the pierced throne-crowned brow.
That hand that held the scepter and that holds the seven stars could never save us were it not nailed to the Cross.
And that glorious body, clothed in the clouds of heaven, the shekinah glory of God could never have been our Savior had it not been submitted to the ignominious shame of being naked and broken and nailed to the tree.
We are saved by the smitten rock. We are saved by the sufferings of the Son of God.
- W. A. Criswell
