Filling the Blanks
(Please
double-click the blanks): |
Christ had the glory with God (John 17:5). His (incarnation)
caused His divine glory to be (concealed)
in His flesh. Through His death and resurrection His glory was (released),
producing many (grains),
which become His increase as the expression of His glory... In
the Lord's last words to the believers in chs. 14--16, there are
three concrete, corporate (expressions)
of this glory: the Father's (house)
(the church) in 14:2, the branches of the (vine)
(the constituents of the Body of Christ) in 15:1-5, and a (newborn)
corporate man (the new man) in 16:21. All three denote the (church).

John 12:24 note 2)
