Monday in Holy Week - Both/And

The Collect (Prayer) for the Monday in Holy Week reads as follows:

Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord... (The Book of Common Prayer p.220)

Note the sequence of "not...joy but first...suffered pain, ...not into glory before he was crucified..."
This sequence tends to suggest a chronological order which, practically speaking, is the case in Jesus' walking in the way of the cross. Yet, there is also a God-time order in the mystery and wonder of Holy Week which is neither chronological nor causal. That is, we should not equate the Good Friday cross with only suffering the pain of death and Easter's resurrection with a rewarding joy and glory. The heart of Easter is centered firmly in the Cross. If we would walk in the way of Christ's cross, we need to ponder this reality now; we need to look for the glory and even the joy of Christ in the Cross.
What/where might that be?
