John 12
John 12:27-30 NIV84
““Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him. Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit, not mine.”Living for the glory of God was the top priority for Jesus. This meant he would lay down his life in obedience.
Jesus declares Father glorify your name. He does not only declares it he lives for it and dies for it. I want this to be true in my life.
I want to live and die for the glory of Jesus. But here lies the battle. My heart is sincere and wishful but my life lags far behind. I want to live for my comfort, peace, happiness, my sucess….so sad. It is a true battle for me.
Oh Lord teach me, mold me, break me….to live for your glory. Give me the courage and the strength to obey!!!
