In John 17, Jesus prays that he would be glorified so we would know Him. Jesus doesn't wait until we arrive in Heaven to show us Himself and reveal Himself to us; He shows us Himself now. We can know Him now. This prayer emphasizes that the relationship between Jesus and His followers begins here on earth, inviting us into a deeper understanding and connection with Him. By seeking His glorification, Jesus ensures that His divine nature and love are evident to us in our daily lives, providing us with the opportunity to experience His presence and grace in real-time, rather than as a distant future promise.
