Seventh Sunday of Easter

I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. Jesus prays. Jesus reveals that his greatest glory is to enter into suffering with us and for us. And not only on the cross as he did when his hour came. But also, to join us in our present day suffering, to shine the glory of his death for us as we walk through this journey of life. Even now, he glorifies you in his Word. He glorifies you in his gift of eternal life, that you know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he has sent. You are glorified in Jesus. Right now. Today. And forever.
