THE GLORY OF GOD ( PART 41 )
From Glory to Glory ( Study 20 )
The Holy Spirit in our Glorification
Jesus said in John 16:14: “He ( The Holy Spirit ) shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
The Holy Spirit seeks to glorify Jesus in every aspect of our life, including our conversations, our behavior, and our relationships. He wants our lips to be filled with Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
The Spirit of God does not seek to draw attention to Himself in any way. Rather, He points everyone toward Jesus and leads us in rapturous worship of our exalted Savior.
The word “glorify” is the Greek word "Doxadzo", which can be translated in a variety of ways depending on its context. It can be rendered to extol, to praise, to magnify, to worship, to give honor, to give adulation, or to express one’s fame or repute.
In John 16:14, it actually encompasses the full range of these meanings.
Abba Father,
the Holy Spirit fulfills His responsibility to glorify Jesus through us - He heals the sick, casts out demons, leads lost people to a saving knowledge of Jesus, and so on.
However, one of the most effective and magnificent ways through which He glorifies Jesus is in those moments when our hearts are full, our hands are raised, and our whole being is caught up in worshipping Jesus our Lord.
Enable us not only to glorify Jesus in our behavior, our conversations, and our lives but also in a time of worship to glorify Jesus through us as His true worshippers.
