God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The resurrection discloses…that there is an intimate and indissoluble coherence between Jesus’ exaltation as the suffering Servant of the Lord and His glory as the Son of Man invested with all power and authority in heaven and on earth.
