“And the glory which You gave Me I have given them” (John 17:22)

Glory in Heaven: Christ gives His saints the glory the Father gives to Him. Even a tenth would have been generous, but He gives it all. He has the Bride he prepared sit with Him at the feast. He “gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the Word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish” (Ephesians 5:25-27). “The marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready” (Revelation 19:7).

Glory on Earth: He’s made us joint-heirs with Himself. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs - heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ” (Romans 8:14-17).

Glory in the Church:He empties everything He owns into the coffers of the Church, and gives us the keys to every room in His house. He invites us to enjoy His treasure, and encourages us to take as much as we can carry. The fulness of His all-sufficiency is as free to the believer as the air he breathes. Christ puts the cup of His love and grace to the saint’s lip, and bids him drink forever.

Feed on Christ: “My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me” (John 6:55-57).

What better proof of fellowship can Heaven or Earth produce?
