In this powerful closing moment of Jesus’ public ministry, we stand at the edge of the cross — where agony and glory collide.

In John 12:27–50, Jesus reveals that the hour of His suffering is not a tragedy to be avoided, but the very triumph of God’s redemptive plan.

Pastor Thomas walks through four scenes that uncover the meaning of the cross:

The Cross — where the Son of God trembles under divine wrath yet glorifies the Father in perfect obedience.

The Light — where Jesus pleads with the world to believe before the darkness falls.

The Rejection — where unbelief fulfills prophecy and exposes the blindness of the human heart.

The Summons — where Christ’s final public cry calls sinners to step into His light.

This sermon invites us to see that the cross is not only the place of judgment and victory — it’s also the magnet of God’s mercy.

And for all who believe, it’s a reminder that agony and glory still walk side by side: our suffering is never wasted, our witness must never be silent, and the day is coming when every wound will shine with the glory of the Lamb who was slain.

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain — to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”(Revelation 5:12)
