John 12:20-26

In this sermon, Pastor Bruce Gordon delves into John 12, focusing on Jesus' teachings about glorification through sacrifice and the profound necessity of spiritual death for true life. As Jesus draws closer to His crucifixion, Pastor Gordon highlights the symbolic request of the Greeks who sought to see Jesus, translating that into a call for all believers to seek an intimate, life-changing understanding of Christ. He elucidates the metaphor of the grain of wheat, illustrating the need for believers to let their old selves die in order to bear fruit and gain eternal life. Pastor Gordon challenges us to confront our personal desires and comforts, urging believers to follow Jesus not just to the promise of heaven but through the necessary cross of sacrifice and commitment. This sermon is a stirring reminder of the true cost of discipleship and the promise of new life that lies beyond the grave.
