What does the Bible say about the glory of Christ's deity?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals the glory of Christ's deity through His relationships with the Father and His redemptive work, particularly in John 17:1.

The glory of Christ's deity is prominently articulated in John 17:1-5 where Jesus prays to the Father, expressing the mutual glorification that exists between them. This mutual glory demonstrates that Christ is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father. Martin Luther viewed this mutuality as the sum and substance of the gospel, highlighting how Christ's glory is visible not only in His prayer but throughout His life, notably during the transfiguration and His miracles. This glory culminates in His atoning death on the cross, where the fullness of God's glory is manifested in a way that brings redemption to sinners.
