Bible Note: Greetings Pastor Glenn - thank you for your concern, it is a hard thing to understand. The "why" has become "what are You doing Lord?" Let's talk about the word glorify - to praise or give honor. (For me it is important to note that Jesus asks GOD to glorify Him - what should this suggest to us as we seek to be valued or esteemed?) see John 7:39 - for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. (Is John speaking of the resurrection here? Is the resurrection the ultimate glorification of Jesus? Was He glorifed at His baptism? What about the Transfiguaration? Now I contrast this to Phil 2 -laying His glory aside did not make Him less Divine, but clearly (to me) demonstrates His awesome love to invade our low estate in order that we might be made to be like Him. What is the significance of the glorification of Jesus to us? (Sermon topic?) (See John 13:31-32; 17:1-10) Might it be important to clarify that the Holy Spirit was resident in Jesus as the God-Man? Reading John 7:39 might incline some to think that the Holy Spirit was not resident in Him - which would deny His Diety, imo. The death of Christ satisfied the wrath of God and provided a means for us to be "made new" - a Holy receptacle for the Holy Spirit to take up residence in us. (Isn't this part of "glorifying God in our body" when we rely upon His indwelling Spirit to will and to work as He pleases?) Let your Light so shine before men that they will see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven . . . comes to mind here. Wasn't the resurrection of Christ the channel for the release of the Holy Spirit? - for which we should all be continually prasing and thanking God for this indesriblabel Gift of Himself!!! Thanks for any insight you might have. (It was a God thing for me to read your post, because these were the exact verses I was pondering this AM on "glorify.") Blessings, mommapbs |
