3. The Glory of the completed work
"I have finished" v4
I have brought you Glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
What was that work? (See Daniel 9. v24)
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness.
Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith has entered within the veil and leaving us His divine footsteps for us to follow in (See Hebrews Ch.10 :v19-23)
"Having therefore brethren boldness to enter into the holiest by a new and living way which He hath consecrated for us through the veil"
4. The Glory reflected in His people
" Glorified in them" v10
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
A man can say "all mine are Thine" but only Jesus could say "All Thine are mine" This is a claim of perfect equality with God.
Wonderful is the grace that reveals the desires, and the privileges that flow from His care. For His loved people, here we hear the Son conversing with the Father respecting their common love for sinful men, and here the very heart of the Great Shepherd is laid open. (See Psalms Ch ‘s 22-24)
