"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 3 November 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: John 17:4-5 "I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which you have given to Me. And now, O Father, glorify Me now together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was."
In verse 4, Jesus says, "I have glorified You." Jesus here makes known the Father by completing the work that God gave Him to do. Jesus in verse 5, looked to the Father to restore Him to the glory He had in heaven, before he left. This is another indication of the pre-existence and deity of Jesus.
The celestial glory that Jesus had from the beginning was temporarily hidden, during his earthly life. At the ascension of Christ, Jesus was both glorified and transfigured. Please note the contrast between the post-resurrection appearances of Christ with the post ascension. In the post resurrection appearances of Jesus, he often concealed His glory to the point that he was snot recognized, such as the disciples at Emmaus Luke 24:16, 31, or by Mary Magdalene in John 20:14, when she thought that He was gardener.
The post-ascension of Jesus, involved His radiant appearance. The difference between John's meeting with Jesus in John 21, and in Revelation 1, was that of seeing the resurrected body (not glorified and of later seeing the transformed and celestial (glorified) body of Jesus. Someday we as Christians will be glorified together with Christ, where we will spend all eternity with Him.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Always remember that when you have a spiritual, emotional, physical, or financial dilemma in your life, and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
JESUS REIGNS!!! May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.
