John 5:22 "The Father doesn't judge anyone. He has entrusted judgment entirely to the Son
Ephesians 1:20
he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
Acts 2:24
But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
Mark 16:19
After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
Romans 14:9
For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
John 3:35
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
Daniel 7:14
He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
Luke 10:22
"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
John 17:2
For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.
What I think you're missing is that Jesus had this glory before his death on the cross - so its not as if this is a pay off for him dying:
John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
He's always had that glory before the world began.
