CHRIST'S HUMILIATION HIS GLORY.

"He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name." Phil. 2 : 8, 9. The exaltation of Christ, that which is and will be his highest glory, and which makes angels bow before him, is due to that which he has done and suffered for us. The prints in his hands, and the wound in the side, will be throughout all eternity the tokens of his exaltation and

power. When the Lord comes from heaven in glory, it will shine brightest from the side that was pierced. "His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness was as the light; he had bright beams out of his side; and there was the hiding of his power." Hab. 3:3, 4, margin. Thus, as every eye sees him coming in the clouds of heaven, and they also that pierced him (Rev. 1:7), the marks of his humiliation when on earth will be the highest glory.—Present Truth.
