The Potential Of Deathly Places

And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."—John 12:23-25.
"The hour is come," saith he, "that the Son of man should be glorified." He does not say "that the Son of man should be crucified,"
This was true, and the crucifixion must come before the glorification. He sees the glory that motivates him to pay the price
Though he remembers his death, he speaks rather of the glory which would grow out of his great sacrifice.
