THE GLORY OF GOD'S KINGDOM
"This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him" (John 2:11).To start with, what is glory? The English dictionary renders it as, " a state of high honour". Another renders it as, " a brilliant radiant beauty". The two definitions can't be imprecise. Glory is that which inspires, produces or causes honour. If you give honour, admiration, and respect to someone because of something that happened, that means that thing had glory, because it inspired you to honour that fellow. For example, when someone returns from a church service and says, "That meeting was glorious," what exactly made it glorious? It was because he or she was inspired to honour, reverence, praise, and worship the Lord; thus, revealing the glory of His Kingdom.
Our opening verse tells us, "This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him" (John 2:11). When the people saw what Jesus did-when he turned water to wine-they were amazed; they trusted, honoured and revered Him. The Bible says His disciples believed on Him. This means your greatness in life is tied to your glory. Until you locate your place of glory, your story remains the same. These people didn't reckon the Lord Jesus to be somebody of great importance until He "...manifested forth his glory...". May your glory begin to manifest in the Name of Jesus.
Psalm 145:11-12 says, "They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; to make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom." That's talking about the splendour or beauty of God's Kingdom that we've become a part of; it is a kingdom where sickness, defeat, failure and death aren't our lot. The glory of the New Testament, of our spiritual Kingdom, is the more excellent glory; it supersedes what the children of Israel experienced. Their kind of glory was based on the Laws of Moses, ratified by the blood of bulls and rams but our was by the blood of the Lamb of God-Jesus Christ our Saviour. The Bible said we obtained a better covenant, established upon better promises (Read Hebrews 8:6). This is more reason you should thank God for being saved. Praise God.
The Blessed Truth!
