Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is glorified by the Father for His service, done in humility, even in persecution, for He became a Holy Lamb sacrificed for our redemption - through His death on the cross and resurrection from the grave - ascending to sit at the right hand of God, judging both the living and the dead, forever reigning as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Is. 49:3). It started with Judas' betrayal and ended with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit who affirms His glory, empowering us to stay worthy of our Christ's calling, "that the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, may be glorified," in us, and in Him, "according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ" (John 7:39 & 13:26-32, 2 Thess. 1:12).
Therefore, let's continue living for Christ, glorifying God as members of His body, Heirs of His Kingdom, and channels of His good will to all so many may give glory to the LORD in Christ Jesus who lives in us (Gal. 1:24).
PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Heavenly Father, for glorifying Your Word and Son, Jesus Christ, in me; for, by His death I am redeemed, and His resurrection brought me Life-Everlasting, so I might declare Your glory as one born of the Spirit, dwelling in Your presence as an Heir of Your Kingdom, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.
From Acts 3:12-13
