What if triumph looks like loss and still wins? We walk through John 12 where a house fills with the scent of costly love, a city erupts with palm branches, and a voice from heaven affirms a King who chooses a cross. Mary pours out a year’s wages at Jesus’ feet while Judas hides greed behind “good stewardship,” and the contrast exposes our own tug toward utility over devotion.

From Lazarus’s resurrection to the colt of Zechariah 9:9, signs stack up as the crowd shouts Hosanna. Then the Greeks arrive asking to see Jesus, and the story widens: glory’s hour has come—not a political throne but a seed that dies to bear life. We talk about why the Father’s voice thundered for the crowd’s sake, how “lifted up” draws all people, and why that magnet of mercy still pulls across borders, backgrounds, and doubts.

Yet many resist. Some can’t see past hardened hearts. Others believe quietly but love human approval more than God’s glory. We press into that tension with honest application: confess the fear of man, resist the veneer of pragmatic faith, and choose the light you have by obeying Jesus’ words. The promise remains clear and hopeful: when Christ is lifted up, he draws; when you walk in the light, darkness loses its grip.

Listen for a grounded, practical walk-through of John 12: costly worship, fulfilled prophecy, a global gospel, and a final public call to believe. If this conversation helps you, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us where you’re choosing light this week.
