Posted by Chris on 11/8/2006, 10:21 am This was taken from 'The Berean Expositor' vol.39, p11 (Charles Welch website) just a sentence or two, but just lovely to think on. 'The Saviour’s glory now at the right hand of God, is the glory of the Mediator and Redeemer. He had a glory that antedates time, and He Himself distinguishes between that glory which is His intrinsically and which cannot be shared, with that glory which He has received as Mediator and Head, which He intends most certainly to share with the redeemed: “And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was” (John xvii. 5). That is one aspect of the subject. Here is the other: “The glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one” (John xvii. 22). The wondrous goal “that they may be one” is reflected in the title of the church “the fullness of Him”. Praise God that He has given us eyes to see and ears to hear. His wondrous grace worked out in all it's fullness in Christ our Saviour, Lord and Head. In Him Chris
