It is sweet to the believer to read that the Father will glorify the Son there where He died on the cross. It is sweet for the believer to read about the triumph of God over satan and his powers. It is sweet when all the bad things on earth will be fixed, made new, but there is also something bitter in this prophecy. The bitterness of judgment on all those apostates of God, including many Jews and Christians, and the bitterness of the judgment of all those who rejected the Savior.

It's a little like 'your first love', or the romance in marriage.
Then the outworking of sins starts, the revealing of all the
faults have to be dealt with. And then we also see and seeing
is not pleasant, seeing really how things are.
Thus we MUST remember our first love, and as Jesus did,
He went through what He did knowing what lay ahead.
He would also have been most eager go through with this but
the process would be horrible.
Almost like cleaning a mess: you WANT to do this, are READY,
and then...you dig in, and oh, what a mess, and it's dirty and
you hate it, but you know it's right.

The guy was mostly high.
