How do we know that Jesus is honored by the Father?

Answered in 1 source

We know that Jesus is honored by the Father through His obedience and the Father’s affirmation of Him, as revealed in Scripture.

In John 8:50, Jesus states, 'I seek not mine own glory, but there is one that seeketh and judgeth.' This indicates the intimate and cooperative relationship between the Father and the Son where the Father seeks to glorify the Son. This is further expounded in Philippians 2, where Jesus, in His humility and obedience to the point of death, is exalted by the Father. Thus, Jesus' honor is intertwined with His mission and the divine assurance that His obedience is approved and celebrated by God the Father, demonstrating the Christian doctrine of the unity and distinct roles within the Trinity.
