The Glory of the Cross
John 12:27- 33
31 July 2022
Everyone has natural desire for pleasure, fame, and recognition - to have their glory now. But Jesus' main purpose in coming to this earth was to glorify the Father.
Be challenged by the Master's example. Christ felt the looming weight of His approaching death, and knew the terrifying wrath of God He was to bear. But He refused to love His earthly life more than obedience to the Father. He looked ahead to His glorification and the salvation of the church.
Be encouraged by the results of the cross. The cross was the mission of Jesus Christ, and through the cross, Jesus Christ is glorified. Through His death and resurrection, evil was judged, Satan was condemned, and salvation was brought to all men.
