What does the Bible say about Jesus being glorified through his death?

Answered in 1 source

John 12:24 teaches that Jesus' death must happen for fruitfulness, stating that unless a grain of wheat falls and dies, it remains alone.

In John 12:24, Jesus explains that His impending death is essential for bringing forth much fruit. This metaphor illustrates the necessity of His crucifixion, where He must 'fall into the ground and die' to yield a harvest of redeemed souls. Without this sacrifice, He would abide alone. The death of Christ establishes the foundation of salvation, demonstrating that the way to glorification is through suffering and death, not political might or worldly victories.
