John Week 37: John 17:1-5

Jesus came to ultimately glorify the Father by revealing His character
When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you
You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
Jesus brings humanity into a relationship with the Father by granting eternal life.
We cannot adequately understand how glorious God is without the cross. There we see his holiness and condescension, his wrath and love, and his justice and mercy. All are perfectly displayed through the death of his Son
Eternal life isn’t just a prayer to gain salvation but a provision to enjoy the presence of Jesus.
4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do
5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
