I'll admit that I don't understand exactly what this means. I do know that Jesus came to reveal God's glory.
First I'd like to start with the glory Jesus had before the incarnation.
John 17:5
And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
Jesus told his Father that he had glorified Him on the earth as he was commanded. He had revealed his Father's name. They know that everything was given to Jesus was from the Father.
I feel this may be deeper than most make of it. Everything is from the Father, it was his glory being shown by the Son. That concept is kinda repeated within scripture.
Yet still Jesus mentions some type of glory he had before the world was.
