Episode notes
In John 12, Jesus announces, "The hour has come," and the Gospel of John turns from the book of signs to the book of glory. In this message, Pastor Phillip Bethancourt unpacks one simple but challenging principle: If you want to live like Jesus lived, you need to die like Jesus died.
Using the remarkable story of 2,000-year-old Judean date palm seeds that were brought back to life, Phillip walks through three paradoxes of the cross: death is the path to glory, death is the path to life, and death is the path to significance. He then shows what it looks like to live like Jesus: living for God's glory, living out His victory through weakness, and walking in the light with urgency while we have it.
