Subject: John 17-24 |
Bible Note: Jesus is speaking in John 17 of the glory that he had with God before the world was. Then he gives this glory to us that we may be one with the Father even as he is one with him. This is not for heaven but when we are still on earth this glory is to let us do greater things than Jesus did because he went to the Father. We are seated with Christ at the right hand of the Father, it does not say we will be seated later. When we behold that glory that the Father has given him then and only then will we understand the authority that we are supposed to be walking in here on the earth. |
