The Gift of Adoration

Jesus gave to His Eternal Father all honor and glory.

Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit to help us follow in His steps to also give all honor and glory to His Eternal Father.

When we come to Jesus in adoration, we bring much honor and glory to God, His Eternal Father, our Eternal Father, by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us and transform us into becoming more and more like Jesus Himself.



Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, why is it that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” Jesus answered:

“Anyone who loves me will be true to my word, and my Father will love him; we will come to him and make our dwelling place with him. He who does not love me does not keep my words. Yet the word you hear is not mine; it comes from the Father who sent me. This much have I told you while I was still with you; the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will instruct you in everything, and remind you of all that I told you. 'Peace' is my farewell to you, my peace is my gift to you; I do not give it to you as the world gives peace. Do not be distressed or fearful. You have heard me say, 'I go away for a while, and I come back to you.' If you truly loved me you would rejoice to have me go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I tell you this now, before it takes place, so that when it takes place you may believe. I shall not go on speaking to you longer; the Prince of this world is at hand. He has no hold on me, but the world must know that I love the Father and do as the Father has commanded me.”

(John 14:1-31)
