John12.20-36
from Dove Creek Bible Church's Podcast · host Josh Martin
John 12:20–36 marks a pivotal moment as outsiders—Greeks seeking Jesus—signal that his mission is expanding beyond Israel, prompting him to declare that “the hour has come” for his glory through the cross. Using the image of a grain of wheat that must die to bear fruit, Jesus explains that his sacrificial death is the pathway to life for many and calls his followers to a life of surrender and discipleship. As he speaks of being “lifted up” to draw all people to himself and urges them to walk in the light while they still can, the passage highlights the paradox of glory through suffering and invites a response of faith.
