Weekly Pursuit – Week 2 of October
Verses:
Eph. 3:21 “To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all the generations forever and ever. Amen.”
Excerpts:
The main point of the Lord’s message in John 14 through 16 is that the Son may be glorified so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. By what way will the Son be glorified today so that the Father might be glorified in and through the Son? It is by the church. When the church has been regenerated, sanctified, crucified, and united with Christ in glory, then the Son of God will be expressed and manifested. The Son of God will be glorified in the oneness of the church, and the Father at that time will also be glorified in and through the Son. Therefore, the prayer, “Glorify Your Son that the Son may glorify You,” includes and depends upon the matter of the church being regenerated, sanctified, crucified, and united in oneness with the Son of God. God is glorified in Christ and in the church in the church age.
Glory is the expression of the divine life and the divine nature. The more the saints live by the divine life and the divine nature, the more glorious the church life is, and the more divine glory there will be in the church. In the divine glorification the Triune God is glorified in humanity, and humanity is glorified in divinity. One day the Lord Jesus will come in a physical manifestation of glory, and we shall be brought into that glory. Then there will be glorification upon glorification and glorification within glorification. Eventually, there will be the ultimate consummation—the New Jerusalem. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, msg. 288)
