A sight of the glorified Christ..

It was no small honor to have seen our risen Lord while yet he lingered here below. 

What must it be to see Jesus as he is now! He is the same Jesus as when he was here; yonder memorials as of a lamb that has been slain assure us that he is the same man. 

Glorified in heaven his real manhood sits, and it is capable of being, beheld by the eye, and heard by the ear, but yet how different. 

Had we seen him in his agony, we should all the more admire his glory. 

Dwell with your hearts very much upon Christ crucified, but indulge yourselves full often with a sight of Christ glorified. 

Delight to think that he is not here, for he is risen; he is not here, for he has ascended; he is not here, for he sits at the right hand of God, and maketh intercession for us.

 Let your souls travel frequently the blessed highway from the sepulcher to the throne. 

As in Rome there was a Via Sacra along which returning conquerors went from the gates of the city up to the heights of the Capitol, so is there another Via Sacra which you ought often to survey, for along it the risen Savior went in glorious majesty from the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea up to the eternal dignities of his Father’s right hand. 

Your soul will do well to see her dawn of hope in his death, and her full assurance of hope in his risen life.
From a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "The Power of the Risen Savior ," delivered October 25, 1874.
