Jesus is the obedient one and his willingness to follow God's plan gives glory to God. Jesus gives glory to God, for he will reveal an aspect of God. In his obedience, Jesus will show God's love for us. Some things do seem to defeat us, have a power over us. We have experienced this especially in death.
Psychologists say it is our greatest fear.
But we might despair when we reflect that in the end, sooner or later, we die. Jesus will show God's glory, the power God has to defeat death. The preacher might call to mind examples of those who have died to themselves but whose lives bring life to others. There are people in our daily lives who have given of themselves for a higher purpose, for doing the right thing or for trying to be faithful in their walk with Christ. This hour has been anticipated through the whole Gospel.
