What is glory? April 17


    When we look at an eclipse, when we view a newborn babe, when we lose ourselves in the beauty of a flower, bird, or deer. . . we experience awe, wonder, a kind of magnificent glory. Sometimes the feeling is mystery, sometimes delight, sometimes sadness. The feelings run up and down the glory scale.

The most amazing thought though is when Jesus prayed for us to share in his glory, the kind he shares with heavenly father John 17:1-3.

What is it?

His glory is to be a part of everlasting magnificence, eternal existence that never fades, that the item itself, like a flower is not only bringing awe but exists as beauty in itself, just like the Son of God. He does not just bring glory; he is glory, and he shares.
