The Paradox of Glory

Our Lord prophecies His coming crucifixion. And though this form of death would seem to be utter humiliation and defeat, our Lord describes it as the time of His glory. He says the Son will bring glory to God the Father, and the Son will also be glorified. Pastor Linehan explains how the cross of Christ brings glory to the Father and the Son.

Jesus also takes care to command the disciples to love one another, following His example of love.

Ending John 13, our Lord prophecies Peter's denial. Christ demonstrates His love for His own, in the fact that, though He knew that Peter would deny Him, Christ encouraged Peter and accepted Him still. His love for Peter is the same as the love for all His own, which He showed us on the cross. And that cross brings Him glory.
