With Jack Paton.

Our actions show God’s glory, too. At least, we are charged that it will be so. Jesus prayed , “All mine are yours and yours are mine, and I have been glorified in them.” Here, in the midst of this highly theological passage, is no sign of Paul’s dictum that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Here the focus lies on promise and possibilities, looking at the fullness of God’s gifts: “The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one … so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”

As was true for Jesus, is true for us. We cannot fully show the glory until we have accepted the work God has sent us to do. Or, more positively, we show the glory as we complete that work.
