The more we examine the gospel of John, the more we shall see One who speaks and acts as a divine Person—one with the Father—alone could do, but yet always as One who has taken the place of a servant, and takes nothing to Himself, but receives all from His Father. “I have glorified Thee:” “now glorify Me.” What language of equality of nature and love! But He does not say, And now, I will glorify Myself. He has taken the place of man to receive all, though it be a glory He had with the Father before the world was. This is of exquisite beauty.
