Dear friends,
AN UNKNOWN WRITER ONCE SAID, “Don’t reject the package just because you don’t recognize the wrapping.” In the Gospel of John 12:20–33, the crowd seeks a triumphant Messiah—but Jesus reveals a different kind of glory. Sunday’s message will confront the stunning truth that God’s greatest victory came through suffering, surrender, and the cross. What looked like defeat was actually the hour of divine exaltation. Come discover how the “ugly” moments in our lives may be the very places where God’s glory shines brightest.
