T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes that the crown of the incorruptible is glory, which is the ultimate verdict on the life of Jesus Christ. He explains that this glory is rooted in an unshakeable union with the Father, and that humanity was created for glory, which is contingent upon faith and obedience. The sermon highlights the contrast between the corruptible glory sought by man and the incorruptible glory offered through Christ, who embodies the perfect pattern of glory. Sparks encourages believers to live according to the incorruptible life of Christ, which leads to true glory both now and in eternity.
