How does Jesus glorify the Father?

Jesus' earthly ministry was characterized by His submission to the will of the Father, particularly culminating in His sacrificial death. In John 17:1, He prays, 'Glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,' indicating that His glorification is intrinsically linked to the Father's glory. Through His obedience, culminating in His atonement for sin, Jesus reveals the heart of the Father’s justice and mercy. The glory of God is fully manifested in the work of Christ, as He fulfills the purpose of reconciliation for the elect, demonstrating that the cross is both a display of God's love and a means of glorifying His holiness.
