<p>17:22 <i>And the glory which You have given me, I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one</i>- The glory given to Moses was nothing compared to that given to the Lord. By beholding that glory in the face of the Lord Jesus, it shines off from our faces too (2 Cor. 3:18). The glory is potentially given, but it is only by beholding it in the face of the Lord that it becomes real for us. The faces of the disciples at that time, as they watched the Lord praying, were anything but glorious. They fled from Him, and went fishing instead of being enthused by His resurrection. But so much was made potentially available to them. The glory that would soon shine from the Lord's face when He was arrested was theirs, already.</p><p>&quot;The glory&quot; has associations with the Name declared at Sinai, and now even moreso in the person of God's Son. Connect :6,8,22: &quot;I have manifested Thy Name unto the men which Thou gavest Me... I have given unto them the words Thou gavest Me... the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them&quot;. Indeed, so much was &quot;given&quot; to the believers by the Lord. He gave them the essence of Himself, His Spirit; the prologue says they were given &quot;power to becomes the Sons of God&quot; (1:12). The idea of the gift of glory is associated with the gift of the Spirit in&nbsp;Eph. 3:14-18 where the same words are used and again connected with unity between those who possess the Spirit: &quot;I bow my knees to the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that He would <i>grant </i>&quot;give&quot; you, according to the riches of His <i>glory</i>, that you may be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man. That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you would be rooted and grounded in love, that you might be able to comprehend with all the saints&quot;. The gift of glory therefore sums up everything- the very essence of the Father and Son, their word, their Spirit, the Name. The receipt of those things will issue in unity between us. In this sense the gift of &quot;glory&quot; is what enables our unity both with the Father and Son as well as with each other.</p>
