The cross reveals God and His glory
(vv.31-32)
Two aspects of God's glory:
* The glory of God is His honor or reputation
* The glory of God is a visible expression of His character
Jesus is taking both aspects of God's glory: "His honor or reputation" AND "a visible expression of who God is" and He is putting them together.
"The supreme moment of divine disclosure, the greatest moment of displayed glory, was in the shame of the cross."
~D.A. Carson
"God will never seem distant when we are standing on the hill where His Son was sacrificed in our place. True, passionate worship springs from a heart that has been gripped by the grace of God displayed in the cross."
~Matt Carter
The cross transforms disciples to love one another:
(vv33-34)
"They will know you are my disciples because you will ive in a new community (the church) where you truly love one another.
What does loving one another look like on a practical level?
* Giving people the benefit of the doubt
* Assume the best of people
* Remember you don't know the whole story
* Learn to not take yourself too seriously
"Christian love assumes the best about people. It refuses to jump to conclusions. It recognizes situations have mulitple sides, many unknown. It does not rush to judgment. It is kind."
