El sermón "Cristo glorifica al Padre" por Joel Coyoc se centra en la glorificación de Dios a través de Jesucristo, tal como se representa en el Salmo 18:47-49. Coyoc argumenta que este salmo es más una representación de la obra mesiánica de Cristo que una simple experiencia de David, subrayando que Cristo, en su vida y ministerio, cumple y magnifica la verdad de que Dios es quien ejecuta justicia y liberta a aquellos que confían en Él. Referencias bíblicas como el Salmo 2 y Hechos 2 son citadas para mostrar cómo Cristo fue exaltado sobre sus enemigos y cómo todos los poderes fueron puestos bajo su dominio. La significancia práctica se encuentra en la invitación a los creyentes a reflexionar sobre su relación con Dios, a cultivar convicciones firmes en su corazón y a glorificar a Dios a través de la confianza plena en su carácter y promesas, a imitar la fe de Cristo en todas las circunstancias.
