A reflection on John 13:31-35.Jesus, after Judas’ departure to betray Him, proclaims that the Son of Man is now glorified and that God is glorified in Him. This declaration comes before His betrayal, suffering, and death, emphasizing Christ’s active and sovereign role in the events to come. Christ is never a victim; His glorification and sacrifice are voluntary, showcasing divine authority and fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. Believers find encouragement in Christ’s victory through suffering, understanding that ultimate victory is achieved not by earthly might but by self-emptying love. Jesus instructs His followers to love one another in the same self-giving, sacrificial manner He has shown. The true mark of discipleship is this Christlike love, which mirrors His humility and service. Following Him means laying aside pride and privilege, embracing sacrificial love as the path to union with Christ and true glory.
