On Palm Sunday, the crowds welcomed Jesus as King. By the end of the week, that same King was hanging on a cross. In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 2:8, we consider the staggering claim that the One crucified was none other than “the Lord of glory.” What does the cross reveal? It exposes the blindness of the world, the depth of our sin, the surprising nature of Christ’s kingship, and the greatness of God’s saving love. This devotional traces the road from “Hosanna” to “It is finished,” showing why the crucifixion of Jesus is not glory defeated, but glory displayed.
