Join Jacob, Cabe, and Tanner on Heavy Branches as they conclude their study of John chapter 12. In this episode, the conversation shifts from celebration to the profound purpose of Christ's incarnation and forthcoming death.The hosts dive deep into the meaning of Jesus being "lifted up," the ultimate act of drawing men to Himself, and the connection between belief and the Father's glory. They explore the tragic rejection of Jesus by rulers who "loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God," emphasizing the difference between mere knowledge and saving faith.Plus, don't miss the Christmas-themed icebreaker where the hosts share their favorite gifts (including a four-wheeler and a growing collection of 78 nutcrackers!) and share this week's featured hymn, "Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus."Tune in for a discussion connecting the joy of Christmas to the serious, world-saving purpose of the cross.
