Lifted up His eyes to heaven. The Son fulfilled the Father’s Instructions perfectly and concluded His Work of teaching and manifesting signs in the world with the most precious prayer of the Scriptures: “Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You.

“He prayed for Himself (concluding His mission and consecrating Himself as Sacrifice and Priest), for the disciples, and for all those who would believe in Him, like you and me.

This prayer reveals that the Lord Jesus understood that the pain and the shame of being raised on the cross as cursed, would turn into honor and praise.
