This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Who by him do believe in God; both as revealing God to you, Mat_11:27 Joh_1:14; and making way for you to God, who, out of Christ, is a consuming fire, so that there is no coming to him but by Christ, Joh_14:6 Eph_2:18 3:12 Heb_7:25.
Gave him glory; viz. in his resurrection, ascension, sitting at the right hand of God, &c., Phi_2:9-11 Heb_2:9,10.
That your faith and hope might be in God; that seeing Christ raised and glorified, ye might be fully confirmed in the belief of a thorough satisfaction made to Divine justice for sin, and perfect reconciliation wrought (for had not Christ fully paid the price of redemption, his Father would never have let him out of the prison of the grave, in which his justice had shut him up); from which faith ariseth a hope, which looks to the resurrection of Christ your Head, as the certain pledge and earnest of your resurrection to life and glory. Christ’s resurrection and glory are the great grounds of faith, 1Pe_3:21 Act_2:32,33 5:31 10:40 Rom_4:24,25 1Co_15:14,17.
