God glorifies himself in Jesus Christ (II Corinthians 5:19, Colossians 1:19, 2:9)

John 17:1-6, 11-14, 25, 26

God glorifies himself in the body of Christ. Verse 1. In these scripture verses, Jesus makes unmistakable references to show that God will glorify himself in his body. God lets us know that his name is the Lord Jesus (Revelation 1:8). There is only one Lord and he will glorify himself. Remember that God will not give his glory to another. (Isaiah 42:8).

Verse 2-3. Jesus has power over all flesh and eternal life. In other words, Jesus is saying that once he is glorified they will know that he is the only true God through his manifestation as Jesus Christ who was sent (I John 5:20).

Verse 4-6. Jesus says that he has glorified God on earth and that God, the Spirit, will glorify himself in the body of Jesus. This is so powerful that it’s hard to put it into words. Jesus is saying to the Spirit, I have made your name - Jesus Christ - visible (manifested). And I have glorified your name (God’s name - Jesus Christ) on earth by my presence and the works that I have completed. Now Father (the flesh speaks to the Spirit) glorify me (the Son - flesh) with the Spirit, which is the form that I was in before I came to earth.

Verse 11. Jesus tells the Father to keep the disciples in his own name (God’s own name is Jesus Christ) that they might be one mind. The mind of Christ is God’s mind. Then Jesus said, that he and the Father are one. The same Person – One God.

Verse 12. Jesus said that while he was in the world he kept the apostles and followers in thy name. The apostles were kept in the name of Jesus Christ which is God’s name.

Verse 25. Jesus says again, that the world don’t know the Father but Jesus knows the Spirit (himself). However, his disciples, knew that the Spirit (the Father) sent the flesh into the world and that he (the flesh) is “The Christ – God himself”

Verse 26. Jesus said that he has declared God’s name The name of God that was declared or made known, is Jesus Christ. God has loved the flesh (Son) that God has begotten and that same love will be in the followers of Jesus. In addition to the love of God, Jesus will come back in the form of the Holy Ghost/Spirit and will be in the saints. Jesus will be in the form of the Holy Ghost/Spirit, therefore the name of the Holy Ghost/Spirit is Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38). Jesus says that “I am he.” Translated, I am God (Deuteronomy 32:39, John 8:24).  Thus, God will only glorify himself in the body of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 42:8).
