Jesus Prayed for His Glory and the Father’s Glory
Jesus Prayed for His Glory and the Father’s Glory
“Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
John
The Glory of Christ
The Glory of Christ
Jesus was a normal man.
Jesus was a normal man.
When Jesus stepped out of heaven to come to earth to do the will of the Father, He surrendered some of His glory. He did not come as a king that was served but a servant that was a king. He came to earth as a normal human being subject to the limitations of humanity. He was fully man. He got tired, hungry, thirsty, faced temptation and many other limitations of humanity. He lived a life of sorrow and suffering.
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
He was despised and forsaken of men,
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
Jesus came as an ordinary person, that had nothing that made him stand out as royalty. His physical appearance was not one of beauty. He experienced many sorrows in this life. Other people looked down on him rather than looking up to Him. He did not come the first time the way he will come the second time.
Jesus glorified the Father by accomplishing the Father’s work.
Jesus glorified the Father by accomplishing the Father’s work.
Jesus is speaking of the salvation of those who are going to put their faith in Him for salvation. He is going to the cross to die for their sins. He is going to resurrect from the dead to give them life. He is going to return to usher us into eternal life. Man separated himself from God when He sinned. Jesus reconciled man to God by paying the price for our sin. This fulfillment of God’s will ultimately brings glory to God. It reveals His mercy, kindness, and love!
to glorify v. — to positively acknowledge, recognize, or esteem one’s character, nature, or attributes.
Jesus asked the Father to glorify Him with the glory that he had before the world was.
Jesus asked the Father to glorify Him with the glory that he had before the world was.
Jesus was going to return to the Father. He was asking the Father to restore to Him the glory of the Godhead.
We are to ask that God be glorified and seek to glorify Him.
We are to ask that God be glorified and seek to glorify Him.
We do this the same way Jesus did. We accomplish His will. We make His name known. As we get close to God, He reveals His purposes. We adjust our lives to fulfill His purposes. We are also to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Too many times we fail in glorifying God. We desire to glorify ourselves (pride).
When we want people to think more of us, rather than glorifying God in us, we sin.
“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
We desire to glorify our kids. There is nothing wrong with supporting our kids, but when we live our lives through our kids, it is sinful. God created us to be who He created us to be.
We desire to glorify our kids. There is nothing wrong with supporting our kids, but when we live our lives through our kids, it is sinful. God created us to be who He created us to be.
We are to live our lives for the glory of God. Everything we do, say, or think should run through the filter of, “How is this going to glorify God.
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
1 corinthi
Jesus prayed for the Apostles To Be Kept In the Name of the Lord.
Jesus prayed for the Apostles To Be Kept In the Name of the Lord.
“I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.
John
onoma nature ⇔ name n. — a person’s attributes, nature, and very self understood as summarily comprehended in the person’s name.
Jesus wanted the apostles to exhibit the nature of God in their own lives. He wanted them to demonstrate the nature of God. What is the nature of God?
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge,
and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness,
and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.
Jesus was asking God to help the Apostles to exhibit these qualities in their own life. It is the demonstration of these characteristics that will draw people to God.
We need to exhibit these qualities in our lives. People notice the way we live our lives more than they hear what we say. When we exhibit the fruits of the spirit, people are drawn to this.
Go through the fruits of the Spirit and demonstrate by showing the opposite how they draw people to God. (Love - Hate, Joy- Misery, Kindness - Rudeness, goodness- evilness, faithfulness- unfaithfulness, gentleness- harshness, self control - uncontrol.)
Jesus Prayed For Us To Be Kept From the Evil One.
Jesus Prayed For Us To Be Kept From the Evil One.
“I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.
John
Satan’s number one objective is for us to be of the world and desire the things of the world to the extent that we become a friend of the world. Many believe that Satan’s number one objective for us is to get us to sin. His objective is much larger than this. He desires for us to buy into his world system. Believing that the world is all we need and have no need for God.

Believing that the world is all we need and have no need for God.
Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Jesus prays that we do not fall into Satan’s trap, but that we are sanctified.
Hagiazo to sanctify v. — to make as dedicated to God; either in becoming more distinct, devoted, or morally pure.
Jesus desires that we are set apart from the world system and to be a part of building the kingdom of God.
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
2 corinthians 5
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.
Philippians 3:20
Satan is alive and well today. He is drawing more and more people into his world system and away from God. We must not fall into his system, but instead pull others away from his system and to God.
Jesus Prays That We Spend Eternity With Him.
Jesus Prays That We Spend Eternity With Him.
“Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
John 17:
Jesus ask the Father that those who receive Christ as their Savior spend eternity in Heaven with Him. We will see the glory of Christ and the sorrows of this world will pass away.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
