CommentsGlory That Lasts
Hook: Why does the applause you get from people often appear shallow?
Book: The famous High Priestly prayer of Jesus granted a window on glory that lasts forever. He knew that the momentary flickers of men’s applause would soon be overshadowed by rejection. He longed for the glory that comes from God. Jesus deserved the Father’s glory because He completed the work God gave Him to do. The anticipation of that glory motivated Him to sacrifice His life. Just think how different life could be if you filtered everything through the lens of eternal glory.
Took: How does the applause of people hinder seeking the applause of heaven? How could you motivate yourself to choose eternal glory?
