SERVICE - To Glorify God
John 17:1-5
Introduction
The glory of God is invisible to the eye, so living to glorify God requires faith and patience. On the other hand, the glory of man is visible. Many will spend their life chasing for the glory of man. The evil one wants us to chase after it. If you catch it, you will realize that it doesn’t satisfy or last.
The glory of man and the glory of God are at opposite ends of the spectrum. If we pursue the glory of man, we will ignore the glory of God. This battle has raged in every human heart since Genesis 3. Whose glory are you going to live for? To have true joy and contentment, we must live for the glory of God. To be set free from the glory of man, we must be captured by the glory of God.
Why did Jesus come? Why did He take on flesh? Jesus came to glorify God. He came to unveil a superior glory that breaks the bondage of self.
Sermon Big Idea
We were created for glory, and Jesus came to glorify the Father to fill us with the joy of knowing Him.
