Jesus' Glory Shines on You!

"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee." (Isaiah 60: 1)

This glory is from God the Father, and we know that He is our Father because of what His Son has done for us:

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (John 1: 14)

Jesus prayed for us to see and receive this glory

"Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world." (John 17: 24)

How do I get to be where Jesus is?

God our Father has put us in Christ:

"4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" (Ephesians 2: 4-6)

We are in Christ, people, but more than that:

"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." (1 John 4:1 7)

The glory which Jesus had from the beginning, which He received as the only begotten Son of God, we too receive through His Holy Spirit:

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Corinthians 3: 18)

and

"But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you." (1 Corinthians 5: 10)

Let Jesus' glory shine on you today!
