THE WORK OF JESUS WAS TO GLORIFY THE FATHER. And the Father is glorified in Jesus. Our work is to glorify Jesus, and He is glorified in us. His blood is glorified in our pardon, peace, and cleansing from all sin. His righteousness is glorified in our complete, perpetual, and eternal justification; His power is glorified in our separation from the world and preservation unto eternal life; His mercy, in our quickening, and numerous comforts; His word in our liberty and holy joy. His condescension is glorified in our fellowship and communion; His faithfulness in the answers we receive to our prayers and petitions; His goodness is glorified in our supplies and supports under trouble; His sympathy, in our afflictions and sorrows; His patience is glorified in bearing with our perverseness and many infirmities; His grace, in our lives, in death, and in our eternal salvation. Jesus is glorified in us, for all we are, we owe to Him; all we have, we receive from Him; and all we hope for, we expect from Him. His church is His glory, and He will make her glorious. He will present her unto Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing. Sweet thought and can it be? My Lord is glorified in me!

For Meditation:
Lord glorify Thyself in me,
Saviour, Redeemer, Friend!
Fain would I live and die for Thee,
On whom I all depend.
