The Second Isaiah proclaimed that man was very closely related to God, saying: “Every one who is called by my name I have created for my glory, and they shall show forth my praise. I, even I, am he who blots out their transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember their sins.”. [1] Jesus sought not his own glory but the glory of God. [2] Some are tempted to love the glory of men more than the glory of God. [3]
Said Jesus: “If any man really desires to do my Father’s will, he shall certainly know about my teaching, whether it be God’s or whether I speak for myself. He who speaks for himself seeks his own glory, but when I declare the words of the Father, I thereby seek the glory of him who sent me. Seek in your daily lives, not self-glorification, but the glory of God.”. [4]
