After saying this, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time is here. Give your Son glory so that your Son can give you glory. After all, you’ve given him authority over all humanity so that he can give eternal life to all those you gave to him. This is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent. Now, Father, give me glory in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed. (John 17:1-3, 5 GWT) God's glory, His inner nature made visible, is seen in Jesus, His only Son. The key is His relationship with the Father, which is extended to whoever will believe and trust in Him. The benefit, the promise, is eternal life in the Father's presence. ©Word-Strong_2013
