The Bridegroom

Often times we have this funny notion that Jesus is most glorified when we are successful in life.  That if we see the President of the United States or the star athlete or best looking kid in school praising Jesus then he receives the most glory.  But that is not actually the case.  It is when the person who has nothing, who has suffered greatly, who did not get the perfect job days after he was unfairly let go from his former position, the person who does not get the miraculous healing from God- when people in these low positions bless the name of God, that is when God gest the most glory.  The true friend of Jesus wants Jesus to be honored and therefore rejoices and even seeks positions of weakness so that Jesus might be more honored.
