We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Glorify thy Son




This morning I am reading again the beautiful intercessory prayer of our Lord. In this season when we pay honor to the birth of Jesus Christ I want to look at the purpose for which he came. There is so much to learn it that prayer.
“Father, the hour is come. Glorify thy Son that thy Son also may glorify thee… and now O Father , glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”  (John 17: 1 & 5)
It is so beautiful the special relationship Christ has as the only begotten of the Father as he refers to the glory he had with the Father before the world was. He came and gave his life that each of us might return to the glory we also had with the Father before the world was.
