The Grain of Wheat Falls: The Glory of the Cross (John 12; Palm Sunday)

Palm Sunday reveals a hard truth: many want to see Jesus—but not as He is. In John 12, Christ declares that His glory is the cross, like a grain of wheat that must fall and die to bear fruit.Will we follow the signs to what they mean, or stop at what impresses us?To see Jesus rightly is to see His suffering as glory—and to follow Him in repentance, faith, and new life.Sunday Worship – March 29, 2026Preacher: Rev.
