CROWNED WITH GLORY

FAKAKALAUNI ‘AKI ‘A E LANGILANGI

HEBREWS 2:9

But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of His suffering death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

HEPELU 2:9

Ka ko e toko taha pē ‘oku tau sio ki ai, ‘a ia na‘e ngaohi ke mā‘ulalo si‘i pē ‘i he kau ‘āngelo, ‘a Sīsū; ‘a ia, ko e me‘a ‘i he‘ene kātaki ‘a e mamahi ‘o e pekia, kuo fakakalauni ‘aki ‘a e lāngilangi mo e faka‘apa‘apa‘ia; koe‘uhi ‘i he ‘ofa ‘a e ‘Otua ke ne kamata ‘a e mate ma‘a e tangata takitaha

 

Soli Deo Gloria – To the Glory of God Alone

Ki he Langilangi ‘o e ‘Otua Tokotaha pe   

Our faith in Jesus is most real. We believe in those dear wounds of His as we believe in nothing else; there is no fact so sure to us as that He was slain, and He has redeemed us to God by His blood. We believe in the brightness of His glory; for nothing seems to us so necessarily true as that He who was obedient unto death should, as His due reward, be crowned with glory and honor.

For this reason also we believe in a real Christ yet to come, a second time, in like manner as He went up into heaven; and though we may not enquire minutely into times and seasons, yet we are "looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God" at which time we expect the manifestation of the sons of God, and the rising of their bodies from the tomb. Christ Jesus is no fiction to us.
