John 2:11
“What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.”
Glory is a concept that does not seem to enter into normal conversation in our world. Sometimes it comes up in a disparaging way as in, “he is just in it for the glory.” But even that is not all that common these days. Does anyone still “bask in glory”? The connotation of glory tends to be negative because we live in a competitive society. The idea of glory being attributed to someone as a good thing is not something we typically relate to.
In spite of this, the glory of God is something that transcends any human comparison. God’s glory is pure. His motives are pure. His justice is perfect. His power is beyond imagination.
Q: How do you think of “glory,” and how would you describe Jesus’ glory that was revealed through the signs he performed?
