Joh 17:24 | MHM | STEP | v. 24 : “Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me.” Jesus wants His people to be with Him in heaven, to see His true glory. He asks this not only for the apostles, but for all believers. Earlier, Jesus prayed that God would protect, make holy, and unite his followers. Now, he asks for their final reward: to be glorified with him. This teaches us to pray first for God’s help in our daily lives, and then for our future in heaven. Jesus speaks with authority, saying, Father, I will , because he has the right to ask for what he has paid for with his own life. He is both King and Priest, and his prayers have power. Jesus wants all believers to be with him in heaven, to see his glory, and to enjoy his presence. Heaven means being with Jesus, seeing his glory, and sharing in his joy. The happiness of heaven comes from being close to Christ and seeing his greatness. Our hope for heaven is based not on our own deeds, but on Christ’s request and his work for us. Jesus does not want to be glorified alone; he wants his followers to share in his glory (John 17:24 ).
