T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes that the foundation of divine love is rooted in the concept of starting from zero, where human effort is insufficient and only God's intervention can bring about true transformation. He illustrates this through various biblical accounts, such as Nicodemus' need to be born again and the healing of the man at Bethesda, highlighting that God's love operates under the law of His glory, which is revealed through resurrection. The sermon stresses that we must recognize our spiritual bankruptcy and rely solely on Christ for life and sustenance, as true glory comes from God alone. Sparks concludes that our understanding of life and glory is contingent upon our faith in Christ, who is the source of all resurrection and life.
