The cross is not primarily a shout-out to our worth, but a shout-out to God's worth and righteousness, that he might be exalted as the "just and justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus" (Romans 3:26)...The cross is primarily about God's glory. It is about his holiness and righteousness and justice being upheld and vindicated in the forgiveness of sinners...The cross was Jesus' finest hour because it was the hour when he preserved the Father's glory and put it on display, which was the greatest longing in the human heart.
