“And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:”
John 17:22 KJV
The Lord Jesus praying His last prayer before being crucified, gives us the depth of His desire in the new covenant of grace. Here He prays that the very glory God has given to Him, He has given to those that believe in Him, so that they will be joined together as one and experience the same unity that the Father and the Son enjoy. In the old covenant YHWH had said, “I Am the LORD: that is My Name: and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.” Though we all have sinned and are in need of the glory of God, by His propitiation through faith in His blood, He has made us recipients of His glory. Let us believe in this awesome new covenant of grace for He has given us His glory. Jesus is worthy to be worshipped - glory to God!
