John 13: 31 - 33.
Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately. Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me, and as I said to the Jews, "Where I am going, you cannot come," so now I say to you.
This was spoken by Jesus in the upper room on the night of His betrayal. Jesus was talking only to His disciples and close friends that attended this Last Supper meeting. Jesus is telling His disciples exactly what was going to happen within a few short hours and days. Jesus explains why He would be glorified, and Who would be responsible for His Glorification; and when this would take place. Jesus had told His disciples over and over again that He had to die, and how. What would happen after His Death and why. Notice Jesus calls the disciples "little children", this is a term of endearment, as a teacher to his students. John will later tell his people this same endearment. Jesus' glorification came at several times during this short time period. He was glorified when He Died. He was glorified when He Rose, and He was glorified with His new Resurrected Body. I will teach on these glorifications as Jesus goes through them in upcoming posts.
