The whole earth is full of glory, and we find ourselves surrounded by glory in every direction.

But not every glory is saving glory.

As John Piber explained in a sermon in Houston back in April of this year, he was talking

about his new book, A Poculia Glory.

And what makes saving faith so unique?

Here's a clip of what he said.

The reason I called it a Poculia Glory, that's the title of the book, A Poculia Glory,

is because I'm not interested in generic glory, like a three-pointer buzzer-beater to win

the tournament.

Like that's glorious, it doesn't save anybody, it doesn't make anybody know something glorious,

but it's pretty amazing, and we come out of our couches if you can get out of your couch.

I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about a Poculia Glory, what I mean is an inexplicable, inimitable, unparalleled

coming together of diverse excellencies, that's Edward's phrase, diverse excellencies

like majesty and meekness in Jesus.

Though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God, a thing to be grasped,

but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant and being born in the likeness of

men and being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient, even unto death,

even the death on the most horrible, horrible, tortured, shaming thing from God to shame.

That's amazing.

That is true.

I will stake my life on it.
