Daniel 10-12, Job 22, John 13:31-38, Jude 17-25 John 13:31-38: At this most profound turn of events—as Jesus turns his thoughts and attention decisively to the cross—he utters words that must have been deeply surprising at the time, and still a surprise today. “Now is the Son of man glorified” (John 13:31). Really? As he is betrayed, the Son of Man is glorified? As he is vilified and falsely accused? As he is beaten and mocked? As nails are driven through his hands?

During December at God Centered Life, we're offering a copy of The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Timothy Keller with your gift of any amount. In this short and punchy book, best-selling author Timothy Keller shows that gospel-humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self-condemnation.
