Publisher's Synopsis
Apostle John, gave us an inside scoop to one of the last prayers the Son of God said, in the twilight of His sojourn on Earth.It is written: "I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."(John 17:4-5)The concept of the 'Trinity', declares that there are three Personalities who preside over the realms of the entire Universe.Though three, are also One.They're 'one' in nature, purpose and pre-eminence.Hence, it shouldn't surprise us, that the Christ - in our text from John's gospel; asked His Father to glorify Him, with the glory He had with Him since the beginning.What is startling, and utterly shocking however, is the HolySpirit's revelation through Paul; -that we also, can adorn ourselves with this 'glory'; which was previously assumed to be the exclusive rights of the Godhead.Is this a hoax?This couldn't be true; could it?But it is!It jolly well, is.For it is written: "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the 'same image' from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."(2 Corinthians 3:18)Its official!Everyone who receives the Son of God, gets transformed into His image - through a gradual process of glory 'upgrades'.As we behold our Lord's glory and reflection - as though through a mirror, the Spirit of God changes our glory steadily; till it conforms to the glory of Christ.The same glory, which the Father also has.No wonder it is written: "That as many as receive Him (Jesus), to them He (the Father) gave the Power to become the sons of God; even to them that believe on His (Jesus') name".(John 1:12)Crystallized;The glory of God, is the right of every believer.If you're not steadily climbing to the perfect state of that glory; then something - somewhere, is wrong!Let's review what this glory is; and how we can be transformed from one degree of glory, to another - till we reach the 'stellar' state, that Christ is.Hear His Spirit say, With unveiled faces, behold...'As in a GLASS!'
