Sunday, January 15

Father, glorify your name.—John 12:28.

 

Jehovah himself answered that prayer with a thunderous voice from heaven, promising that he would glorify his name. Throughout his ministry, Jesus glorified his Father’s name. (John 17:26) So it is reasonable to expect that true Christians would be proud to use God’s name and to make it known to others. In the first century C.E., shortly after the Christian congregation was established, Jehovah “turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.” (Acts 15:14) Those first-century Christians were proud to use God’s name and to make it known to others. They used the divine name prominently in their ministry and in their writings. They proved themselves to be a people for God’s name. (Acts 2:14, 21) Similarly today, Jehovah’s Witnesses are a people for Jehovah’s name. w21.10 20-21 ¶8-10

Has Jesus always reflected his Father’s likeness to the same degree? ( something I never gave any thought to) but interesting,,.
   When on earth as a perfect man, he reflected his Father’s qualities and personality to the fullest extent possible within human limitations.
     This likeness, however, was certainly heightened at the time of Jesus’ resurrection to spirit life
      Since God then exalted Jesus to “a superior position,” God’s Son now reflected his Father’s glory to an even greater degree than he had before leaving the heavens to come to earth.
  We as a “people for Gods name “ try and reflect Jehovahs qualities and personality within our human limitations..( insight book)
