If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.
Jesus often speaks of himself in the third person. It is a bit like royalty would speak if we had a king. He also adds a kind of equation to his last statement about being glorified.
If God is glorified in Jesus
Then God will glorify Jesus
In himself (God)
At once.
This formula is really another rather elaborate way of saying that Jesus and God are one.
Let’s Discuss: Why is Jesus talking like this?
Because He and the Father are one (John 10:30). I think it is natural for Jesus to talk this way just as it is natural for me to talk about my family using “we.” It is natural because it is the reality. He is God.
Nicely said, Rich!
Yep, what Rich said
Robster,
Nice to hear from you! Thanks for checking in!!
Nothing noteworthy to add. He is God. Period. Exclamation point! Amen! Rev. 4:11
Thanks JEC! Your note itself is noteworthy! 🙂
”You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
