John 1: 14b

"...glory as of the only Son from the Father."

Hebrews 1: 2-3 says, "But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom He also created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the Word of His power. ESV

John 17: 5 says, "And now, Father, glorify Me in Your own presence with the glory that I had with You before the world existed."

Jesus was with God in the beginning because He is God. His coming in the flesh to make the Father known to us is amazing. Someday we will see His glory that He shares with the Father. I cannot even comprehend this...that God has chosen me to know Him and to see His glory as Isaiah saw Him, "I say the Lord (Adonai- Sovereign Master/Ruler), sitting upon a throne high and lifted up; and the train of His robe filled the trmple." This same Lord- Hebrew- Adonai, Greek- Curios-is the same Lord Jesus Christ- our Lord!

This is the glory of the Father and the Son. GOD- LORD- I AM- Covenant Maker, Covenant Keeper. They are One and the same! So hard to understand yet He has given us the faith to believe. Jesus Christ is Lord. He is Master. He has been given the name that is above every name. Every tongue will someday confess Him as Lord and every knee will someday bow to Him as Lord.

Bow before Him now- Confess Him now- Worship Him now-
for the praise of the glory of His amazing grace!
