Dr. James Carroll, Senior Pastor 20170212 | John 17:1-5 | Glorify the Son When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. John 17:1-5 (ESV)

Overview - As he nears the cross, we see even more reason to worship Jesus. We glorify Christ because… 1. Jesus submitted to the Father's plan and timing. 2. Jesus is able to give eternal life as the Father directs. 3. Jesus obeyed the Father during His earthly ministry. 4. Jesus laid aside his rightful glory to pick it up later. 5. Jesus lived and died for the Father's glory.
