Is Jesus an Egomaniac?

I think John Piper is very helpful in this quote. The concept of God being greedy for glory is often misunderstood because we thinking of God like ourselves. However, he is God! And therefore quite unlike us...

“Here is the end of the matter: God is the one being in the universe for whom self-exaltation is not the act of a needy ego, but an act of infinite giving. The reason God seeks our praise is not because he won’t be fully God until he gets it, but that we won’t be happy until we give it.

This is not arrogance. This is grace.

This is not egomania. This is love.”
