Many think that "glory" means radiance and light. Jesus confessed that his sacrificial love was the essence of glory and the core of his divine being. He asked his Father to keep him in that love, during the hours on the cross, in the storms of pains and fears, so that the rays of love divine would shine perfectly in the crucified.
Wengi wanafikiri “utukufu” inamaanisha kung’aa na kutoa nuru. Yesu alikiri kwamba upendo wake wa kujitoa kuwa sadaka, hilo ndilo msingi wa utukufu na kiini cha kuwepo kwake tukufu. Alimwuliza Baba yake kumtunza katika upendo huo, hasa kwa saa zile akiwa juu msalabani, katika dhoruba kali za maumivu na hofu, ili na miali ya upendo tukufu ing’ae kwa ukamilifu ndani ya msulibiwa.
