Beauty Has Saved the World | GLORY 2012

In this talk from GLORY 2012, Jimmy Mitchell explores the human longing for glory and the power of beauty to open our hearts to the truth, goodness, and love of God. Drawing on Scripture, St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, and his own experience of loss, Mitchell reflects on how Jesus Christ—the “God with a human face”—reveals both the Father’s love and the deepest truth of what it means to be human. He considers the mystery of suffering, showing how the Cross transforms even our deepest wounds into opportunities for redemptive love and hope. Ultimately, this is a call to live as beloved sons and daughters, trusting that the Father is always waiting for us and that our destiny is nothing less than communion with God in glory.
