What does 'glorify thy Son' mean?

Answered in 1 source

'Glorify thy Son' refers to Jesus' request for God to validate His mission through His death, resurrection, and exaltation (John 17:1).

'Glorify thy Son' (John 17:1) is a profound statement where Jesus asks the Father to manifest His divine authority and purpose through the upcoming events of His crucifixion and resurrection. This request underscores the paradox of glorification through suffering; Jesus’ death on the cross would be the ultimate act of obedience to the Father and the means by which He would achieve salvation for His elect. This act of glorification reveals the nature of God’s justice and mercy, where His love for humanity is displayed through the sacrificial work of Christ.
