"It is far worse to despise a Savior in his robes, than to crucify him in his rags. An affront is more criminal to a prince upon his throne than when he is disguised as a subject, and masked in the clothes of his servant. Christ is entered into glory after his sufferings; all who are his enemies must enter into misery after their prosperioty: and whoever will not be ruled by his golden scepter shall be crushed by his rod." Stephen Charnock, as quoted in Spurgeon's Sermon Notes
