Do you know what glory tastes like? Everything has glory, and all the glory of created things is really a reflection of the glory of the Creator. Whatever is marvelous in the world comes from the hand of God. When we taste, see, smell, touch, hear something beautiful we taste glory. But what glory are you pursuing? And how is it shaping your life? Pastor Luke Herche preaches on John 17:1–5, exhorting us to pursue God’s glory as we see through the text that God pursues his own glory, Jesus displays God’s glory, and life is knowing God’s glory.

Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions:

What is glory in general? How do you think about it? Where do you see it in general?

How do you feel about the phrase, "God pursues his own glory?" What might feel off about it? How do you resolve that in your thinking?

How does it change things to know that the greatest display of God’s glory is the display of his love in the cross?

What are the different things it might mean that life is knowing God’s glory? How have you tasted/do you taste God’s glory? What might you do if you don’t?

You were made for God’s glory. You were made to know God’s glory, to taste God’s glory, to behold and be changed by God’s glory. In the New Testament, the Greek word used for glory, dóxa, connotes light that is shining, and in the context of John 1, it is clear that the light that is shining in darkness, the true light that is coming into the world, is not an abstract principle but a person: Jesus Christ. But what does it mean that Jesus is the true light? And how do we take in God’s glory? Listen as Pastor Ethan Brown preaches on John 1:5, 9, showing that Jesus as the light is the glory of God on full display, and that we are changed by his glory as we look and behold Jesus and find him to be beautiful.
