Even though Jesus was in a human body, he proved that the righteous requirements of the Jewish Law could be fulfilled by living a perfectly righteous life. No one before him had done that, and no one since has done it. The rest of us, no matter who we consider, no matter who we are, no matter what time period, have been affected by the sin-nature inherited back to Adam. There’s no way around that. God the Son was born of the Spirit by the Virgin Mary, and didn’t inherit the sin-nature. The emphasis, then, is placed on the glory of the Son, and there are multiple aspects to cite that proclaim Jesus’ glory. A couple of those were just touched upon: the fact that he lived a perfect life and that he rose to the occasion of the cross to die for our sins. The obedience to the Father was exemplified to the point of death, and he even died for people who did not deserve it. Our knowledge also recalls the fact that Jesus performed many miracles while he was walking the earth. Another aspect, then, of his glory.
