But there is another glory which enabled Him to live like a man.
John 17:21 explains what that glory is, “...that they may all be
one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they
also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst
send Me.” The same truth is in John 17:23, “I in them, and
thou in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world
may know that Thou didst send Me, and didst love them, even
as Thou didst love Me.” He said that the glory You have given
Me is My union with You; that we’re One and that they’ll be
One as We are One.

John 1:14, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us,
and we behold His glory..” That glory, said simply, the glory
that gave Jesus the provision to live, was the Father Himself.
The Father gave Himself to the Son, so that He could live as a
man. These verses from the lips of Jesus explain the life He
lived. John 8:28&29, “Jesus therefore said, ‘When you lift up
the son of Man, then you know that I am He, and I do nothing
on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father
taught Me.” It’s an amazing truth that Jesus said, “I do nothing
on My own initiative.”

John 6:38, “For I have come down from heaven, not to do My
own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” He said, “I do not
seek My own will; I seek My Father’s will.” We know from
Gethsemane in Matthew 26:39, that He didn’t want His own
will, “And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face
and prayed, saying, ‘My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass
from Me; yet not as I will, but as Thou wilt.’” Jesus said, “I do
nothing on My own. I do not seek My own will.” John
10:37&38, “If I do not do the works of My Father, do not
believe Me; but if I do them, though you do not believe Me,
believe the works, that you may know and understand that the
Father is in Me, and I in the Father.’”

We say that Jesus did many miracles. He didn’t do any
miracles! The Father did them! Listen to John 14:10, “Do you
not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The
