God's Glory and Our Good

Series: The Gospel of John

Category: The Mission, Gospel

Speaker: Jason Williams

In this sermon, we looked at John 17:1-5 when Jesus begins to pray and ask the Father to glorify Him through His upcoming suffering and death. Through His prayer, Jesus helps us understand how the Father glorifies the Son and the Son glorifies the Father. In His prayer, we also see our part in glorifying God: We don’t add glory to God when we glorify Him; we glorify God by making Him known and revealing His glory that already exists. In this passage, Jesus also reminds us that even our salvation is a way through which God reveals His glory. As believers, our greatest desire must be to make much of God by reflecting His goodness and making Him known to the world.
