The Crucified "Lord of Glory"
Commentators universally highlight the title "Lord of glory" as a direct assertion of Jesus's divinity, linking it to Old Testament descriptions of God (e.g., Psalms 24:7–10). Paul intentionally creates a stark contrast between Jesus's supreme majesty and the shame of the cross. This phrasing shows that the divine Son of God, in his human nature, was the one who was crucified, making his death infinitely significant.
