His disciples didn't get what was happening at first. But after Jesus was glorified, it all clicked — they remembered that everything written about him in scripture was actually happening, and they had been part of making it all come true.

Jesus is literally the glow of God's glory and the perfect copy of who God is. He's holding the entire universe together just by speaking, and after he cleaned up our mess of sins all by himself, he took his place of honor right next to God in heaven.

It made perfect sense for God — the one who created everything and holds it all together — to use suffering to make Jesus the ultimate leader of our rescue story. Through that pain, Jesus became the perfect guide to bring tons of people into God's glory.
