What does it mean that God glorified Himself through Christ?

Answered in 1 source

God glorified Himself through Christ by completing the work of salvation and revealing His mercy and sovereignty.

In John 17:4, Jesus states, 'I have glorified Thee on the earth; I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.' This glorification involves the completion of His redemptive work, which laid the foundation for God's grace and justice. When Christ died on the cross, He manifested God's holiness, love, and mercy, thereby revealing the character of God to humanity. Ultimately, God's glory is exhibited through His plan of salvation, where justice and mercy meet in Christ.
