I AM GLORIFIED IN THEM

 

EVENING DEVOTION by James Smith

JULY 18

 

John 17:10

And all mine are thine, and

thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

 
The work of Jesus was to glorify the Father, and the Father is glorified in him.
 
Our work should be to glorify Jesus, and he is glorified in us.
 
His blood is glorified, in our person, peace, and cleansing from all sin.
 
His righteousness, in our complete, perpetual, and eternal justification.
 
His power, in our preservation from the world, and preservation unto eternal life.
 
His mercy, in our quickening, and numerous comforts.
 
His word in our liberty, and holy joy.
 
His condescension, in our fellowship and communion.
 
His faithfulness, in the answers we receive to our prayers and our petitions.
 
His goodness, in our supplies and supports under trouble.
 
His sympathy, in our afflictions and sorrows.
 
His patience, in bearing with our perverseness and many infirmities.
 
His grace, in our whole lives, in death, and in our eternal salvation.
 
Jesus is glorified in us, for all we are, we owe to him; all we gave, we receive from him and all we hope for, we expect from him.
 
His church is his glory, and he will make her glorious.
 
He will present her unto himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing.
 
Sweet thought, Jesus is glorified in me!
 

Now glorify thyself in me,

Saviour, Redeemer, Friend!

Fain would I live for thee,

On whom I now depend.

 
James Smith
