Life’S Prayer For Oneness
LIFE'S PRAYER FOR ONENESS
In chapter seventeen of the Gospel of John the Lord prayed that God would glorify Him so that God might be glorified in and through Him. The words, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son that the Son may glorify You" (17:1), are the subject of this prayer. How was the Son of God glorified so that God the Father might be glorified in and through the Son? It was by the resurrection which follows death. After His death the Lord was resurrected, mean ing that He was manifested and glorified. The Lord was released and manifested by resurrec tion; hence, He was glorified. When the Lord was thus glorified, the Father was glorified in and through the Son.
The Son was glorified in His resurrection. Now in what way will the Son be glorified today so that the Father might be glorified in and through the Son? It is by the church. When the church has been regenerated, sanctified, cruci fied, and united with Christ in glory, then the Son of God will be expressed and manifested. The Son of God will be glorified in the oneness
