What is Glory, Jesus' Prayer for his Present and Future Disciples, and Remembering Charlie Kirk
Manage episode 505805804 series 3619939
Glory extends far beyond the halos we see in medieval paintings of saints. After being repeatedly drawn to John 17, where "glory" appears eight times in Jesus's prayer for his disciples and future believers, I discovered deeper meanings that transform our understanding of God's presence.
• Exploration of what "glory" truly means beyond simple visual representations
• Detailed reading of John 17, Jesus's prayer before his betrayal and arrest
• Reflection on Charlie Kirk's bold faith and commitment to biblical truth
• Discussion of the challenge of being confrontational when necessary versus being "nice"
• Three dimensions of glory: God sending His Holy Spirit, believers uniting with Jesus as one, and God's presence revealed
• Understanding that only those who are children of God will ever experience this glory
May we go out and live boldly for Christ and for country, leading as many people as we can to experience God's glory.
