John 17:5 (KJV)
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
In this statement Jesus declares the following things about Himself to be true:
He has the same glory as God the FatherThis is a statement of deity. Further it asserts that His deity is the same as God the Father. They are not separate but the same God, two (of three) Persons but one being.
He was with God previous to His incarnationHe descended to earth from heaven. He existed with God the Father in Heaven before His incarnation.
He was with God previous to the CreationThis is a declaration of eternality. Jesus not only existed in heaven previous to His incarnation but also has existed eternally.
The Bible bears out all of these doctrines. Jesus confirms that they true.
