“And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, ever as we are One.” John 17:22
Jesus prayed that He would be glorified through us, and praise God He is! Every time God is able to perform His works through us, it’s all on account of Jesus! Jesus prayed that we would be one, and Hallelujah we are and that is why the world will believe! “That they all may be one; as Thou Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.” John 17:21 What we read in John 17 is Jesus asking God for us to be empowered, just as He was empowered. Jesus prayed that we would be one with God, just as He was one with God. Jesus desired these things so that God could work through us, just as He worked through Him. Jesus prayed that we would be protected, just as He was protected. Jesus had the authority to ask and God was able to give Jesus what He asked for, and it is all so that God can produce truly righteous and holy fruit through us, just as He did through Jesus! It does not glorify Jesus by us believing that since we are just humans that God cannot work through us as He did through Jesus. No! Jesus came and freely offered Himself, and through His sacrifice, Jesus gave God the ability to come to us! Through the power of Jesus’ shed Blood, He gave God the ability to empower us with everything that He had empowered Jesus with! All of this was done so that God could work through us just as He did through Jesus! Jesus was fully God and He has given us the ability to be one with God, just as He was one with God. This is how Jesus is glorified through us. What glory is there in just talking about Jesus? Glory is obtained when actions are taken, and our actions are those of God working through us in power and demonstration of His Spirit! Faith comes from us hearing this Truth and this Truth sets us free!
This Truth will set us free, it will perfect us, it will allow us to minister, and it will edify the body of Christ! “For the perfecting of the saints, for the working of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” Ephesians 4:12 Praise God through the ministry of the Truth we shall no more be tossed to and fro and we shall no more be deceived and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the cunning craftiness of evil men! Through the ministry of the Truth with the power of Christ Himself we shall grow up in all things and become the glorious church without spot, wrinkle, or blemish that Jesus is returning for! A-men and A-men!
