Who is this King of Glory?

On April 5, 1857, Charles Spurgeon preached a sermon based off of Romans 3:24, which says "Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." He powerfully preached of Christ's sacrifice on the cross, which redeemed us and justified us, and went on to describe Christ's glorious entrance into heaven after his grueling death on earth. What a powerful picture he gives...

"O my beloved, think what a grand sight it must have been when Christ ascended into glory; what a noble certificate it must have been of his Father's acceptance of him! Do you not think you see the scene on earth? It is very simple. A few disciples are standing upon a hill, and Christ mounts into the air in slow and solemn movement, as if an angel sped his way by gentle degrees, like mist or exhalation from the lake into the skies. Can you imagine what is going on up yonder? Can you for a moment conceive how, when the mighty conqueror entered the gates of heaven, the angels met him,

"They brought his chariot from on high,
To bear him to his throne;
Clapp'd their triumphant wings, and cried,
'The glorious work is done'"

Can you think how loud were the plaudits when he entered the gates of heaven? ...Do you think you see him, with hell at his chariot-wheels, with death dragged as a captive through the royal streets of heaven? Oh, what a spectacle was there that day! No Roman warrior ever had such a triumph; none ever saw such a majestic sight. The pomp of a whole universe, the royalty of entire creation, cherubim and seraphim and all powers create, did swell the show; and God himself, the Everlasting One, crowned all, when he pressed his Son to his bosom, and said, "Well done, well done; thou hast finished the work which I gave thee to do. Rest here for ever, mine accepted one."

This sermon by Paul Washer communicates a similar message of the glorious ascension of Christ, the triumphant confirmation that His sacrifice was perfect, the price was paid.
