"I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do." - John 17:4
"Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world." - John 17:24
Jesus' fulfilled his purpose on earth... to GLORIFY God as his purpose, in his purpose, and in the accomplishment of his purpose. then Jesus prays to God that we may see his glory, see him glorified!
is my heart like Jesus' heart? is my all consuming, daily desire to ultimately glorify God? honestly and sadly I have to say no. to glorify God is not always my hearts desire. desire to glorify myself gets in the way. how could my heart so easily stray and lose this desire of glorifying God?
BUT!!!!
the amazing part comes in when Jesus begins to pray. he prays for our ability to see the glory. he knew. he knew all along my heart would easily stray. he knew i would be blind. he prayed this for me when he was here on earth. 2000 years ago he knew.
