Nehemiah 8:1-18; Zechariah 4:1-14; Revelation 13:1-18
“Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
John 12:28 NKJV
The glory story began before creation and is communicated across the skies as the heavens tell the glory of God. It echoed to Abraham and Moses when they met the God of glory and dwelt in both the Tabernacle and the Temple. Angels proclaimed, “Glory to God in the highest!” at our Saviour’s birth and John affirmed, “We beheld His glory.” The Lord Jesus glorified the Father by laying down His life and the Father glorified His Son by raising Him from the dead. God’s glory still shines in the face of Jesus Christ and will illumine the celestial city forevermore. —Rex Trogdon
Glory, glory everlasting, be to Him who bore the cross,
Who redeemed our souls by tasting death, the death deserved by us. —T. Kelly
