Hope Live | A Vision of Glory | John 12 | Jamie Haxby
We often think of glory as something added — sprinkles on a cake, a spoiler on a car. So why does Jesus call his own crucifixion his glorification?
In this message from John 12, Jamie unpacks one of the most striking contradictions in Scripture: that the fullest revelation of God's glory didn't happen in a moment of triumph, but in a moment of utter darkness — the cross.
From the cross, we see God's love, justice, mercy, wisdom, and power all revealed at once. And that same glory — the kind that breaks into the darkest places — is available to you now, in whatever you're walking through.
Whether you're facing a difficult diagnosis, a broken relationship, or you work daily in places surrounded by pain (schools, hospitals, social care), this message is a reminder: God's speciality is manufacturing glory in the midst of brokenness. You don't have to strive to reach a better place — he brings his fullness into this moment.
In this message:
- Why the cross is the climax of God's glory, not its contradiction
- What it means that "darkness is as light" to God (Psalm 139)
- How you are called to be a missionary into dark places this week
- Why "I can do all things through Christ" is a message for people in prison — not a prosperity promise
