Chapter 15 of 19

Section 14

Section 14

the Son's glorification. We have seen that the Lord was glorified in His resurrection. As long as the Lord is expressed and glorified, the Father is also expressed and glorified. Because the Lord is one with the Father and the Father is in the Lord, the release of the glory and beauty of the Lord man­ ifests the glory and beauty of God the Father. Because They both are one, the Father is glo­ rified in the glorification of the Son. Since the Father is in the Son, the Lord said, "Glorify Your Son that the Son may glorify You."

The Father's glorification is also through the Son's believers. The Father is the source, essence, origin, and everything to the vine tree. But the vine tree can never be expressed, glorified, with­ out the branches. The Father is glorified in the Son's glorification, and the Son's glorification is through all His branches.

THE SON'S PERSON

In verses 1 and 5 of John 17 we see that the Son's divinity and deity are the same as the Father's. The Son is divine in exactly the same way as the Father is. The Father's deity is the Son's deity. The Son's deity is the same as the Father's. The words, "Glorify Me with Yourself," mean that the glory of the Son is the glory of the Father.
