We Are Perfect In The Glory Of Jesus

"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. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me." John 17:21-23

The glory that God gave to Jesus, the complete and perfect glory that God gave to Jesus, He has now given to us! Jesus didn’t give us part of His glory, not just some of His glory, Jesus gave us all of His glory that had been given to Him by God! Jesus turned right around and gave it to us, the exact same glory! We have been given the exact same glory as the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the King of Kings, the exact same glory that Jesus has, is now ours as well! And that glory is being one with God as Jesus is One with God! Not only do we have His glory, but as we studied earlier, Jesus is glorified in us. As if that is not powerful enough, look at what Jesus goes on to say; He says that we are perfect; we are perfect, because of our unity and oneness with God through Him. We are now God’s body, so how could we be anything but glorified and perfect?

Glorified and perfect, that is what we are this day in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! “(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” 2 Corinthians 6:2 This is what the power of the Anointing of Christ has done for us. Look glory up in a concordance, and you will see that it means majesty, dignity, splendor, brightness, and an exalted state. Jesus prayed that God would glorify Him with all of these things, just as He was before He was manifested on this earth as a man, and then Jesus asked God to give the exact same glory to us! “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 2:6 Today is the day that God has made us one with His dignity. Today God has made us one with His Light. We are now one with God’s splendor and because of Jesus we are now one with God’s majesty! We are now one and united with all of these attributes of God by the power of Christ so that the world will believe and be saved! Today is the Day of Salvation and Now is our accepted time to be used perfectly by our Father to serve His Kingdom!
