*Jesus’ Prayer for You
It was Jesus’ last night on earth as a man. In a few minutes, he would be betrayed, beaten, tried and brutally executed as a criminal. Jesus knew all this. It was time to go.
But just before Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane where he knew his betrayer, Judas, would meet him with Roman soldiers, he prayed for his disciples and he prayed for all of us down through time who would believe in Him.
During that prayer for everyone who would believe in Him, Jesus said something that can change totally your life. He said:
John 17: 22-23
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me,
Wait a minute. Jesus took the glory that God gave to Him and gave it to us? You have the glory of God? I have the glory of God – the same glory God gave to Jesus?
Yes.

*What is God’s glory?
Glory is mentioned about 600 times in the Bible. Yet, many believers, I would say most,  have only a vague idea what is.
Jack Hayford in his Bible Handbook, explains that glory is often used to mean 3 things:
1. Divine Excellence and Perfection: God’s splendor, the beauty of his holiness and absolute goodness.
2. God’s Visible presence –
3.  Praise and honor given to God by his creation.

Doxa – the Greek word for “glory” means the worth, the value of God’s moral excellence and perfection.
Doxa - Glory – means the worth of God, the value that God has because of who He is. His moral excellence, his perfection, His splendor and majesty as God.

So Let’s go back to Jesus’ prayer for us:
John 17: 22 Jesus prays:
I have given them [that’s all believers] the glory that you gave me
Let’s read this with glory defined in this verse.

“I have given them “the WORTH” that You gave me.
Every born-again believer, no matter what they have done, no matter how broken they are as a person, or how flawed they are as a believer, has been given the same glory God gave to Jesus. The same “worth.”
*Your Worth is God’s Glory in You
*Man – dirt and breath of life
Go back to the beginning of the Bible to understand how profound this is. What is the true value, the true worth of a human being?
Genesis 2:7
Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
God created man from two things: dirt, and His breath of life (the Holy Spirit).
Without the Spirit, man returns to dirt.

**The Key to Set You Free
Just before Jesus went to the cross, he prayed : “The glory you have given me, I have given to them.”

Jesus was saying that your worth and mine would no longer be determined by what we do, who we or others think we are, but by his gift of glory (of worth) to us who have faith in Him. 

Jesus knew how Satan had been abusing man for thousands of years. He saw our confusion, our pain, our brokenness. He knew that when we were restored as sons and daughters we would still have to deal with the wounds, the deceptions, the guilt and shame of our pasts
. 
So, praying aloud, so the disciples could hear, Jesus prayed: “I have given the worth [the glory] that You [father] gave me.
This is the key that will set you free from your emotional wounds, guilt, shame and all the lies Satan uses to keep you from living fully as a son or daughter of God.  
Jesus gave you the “inherent, intrinsic worth” that God gave Him. Jesus gave you Hi
