In John 13, as Jesus moves toward the cross, He makes a startling declaration: “Now is the Son of Man glorified.” Not after the resurrection. Not after the victory. Now—in the betrayal, in the suffering, in the path to the cross.
This message explores a difficult but essential truth: God’s glory is not only revealed in triumph, but also in suffering. The cross doesn’t just lead to glory—it is glory, because it puts the very nature of God on display.
For the believer, this reshapes everything. Hardship is not wasted. Pain is not meaningless. Even in the “not yet,” God is working—and being glorified.
If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile suffering with God’s goodness, this message will call you to deeper trust: not just in God’s outcomes, but in His presence and purpose in the middle of it.
