Hebrews 2:11-13 - For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying, "I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE." 13 And again, "I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM." And again, "BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME." **1. To be brought to glory means to be united with Christ.**Heb 2:11 - “For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,”Charles Spurgeon once said, “There is no joy in this world like union with Christ. The more we can feel it, the happier we are.”John Piper, “Union with Christ is the center of our salvation and our sanctification and central to all of our deepest joys in this life.John Murray wrote that “union with Christ is . . . the central truth of the whole doctrine of salvation. . . . It is not simply a phase of the application of redemption; it underlies every aspect of redemption”a. United with Christ in death and resurrection.Gal 2:20 - "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.b. We are called the Aroma of the knowledge of Christ.2 Cor 2:15 - For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;c. Our glory is tied to His glory. Col 3:3-43 For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.**2. To be brought to glory means to have God as our Father.**11 - For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father;Karl Barth,-- “Perhaps you recall how, when Hitler used to speak about God, he called Him ‘the Almighty’. But it is not ‘the Almighty’ who is God; we cannot understand from the standpoint of a supreme concept of power, who God is. And the man who calls ‘the Almighty’ God misses God in the most terrible way.”God is repeatedly presented as the Father in the Bible.i. Israel is called “my firstborn son” (Ex.4:22, Is 1:2, Jere. 31:9, Hos. 11:1)ii. He carries his people as a father carries his son. (Deut.1:31)iii. He disciplines his people as a father disciplines his son. (Deut.8:5; Heb. 12:7)iv. He also has compassion as a father has compassion on his sons. (Ps. 103:13; Jer. 3:19; Mal.1:6)v. Isaiah prays , “You are our Father…” (Is. 63:16)Michael Reeves in Delighting in the Trinity, “For it is only when we see that God rules his creation as a kind and loving Father that we will be moved to delight in his providence.”**3. The Father Son relationship is a love relationship.**John 3:35 - "The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.John 5:20 - "For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing;John 14:31 - but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me.1 John 3:1 - See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are.**4. The Father Son relationship naturally glorifies each other.**12 saying,"I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN,IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE."Heb 1:3 - And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,John 17:1 - Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,**5. The Father Son relationship invites us to put our trust in Him.**13 And again,"I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM."And again, "BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME."James 1:17 - Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.Matt 7:11 - "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!Ps 2:8 - 'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.John 15:7-8 - "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.Romans 8:15-1715 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
