King of Kings

John 12:12-19

1. A great but clueless crowd.

• The people went out to meet Jesus shouting, Hosanna! John 12:12
• The crowd proclaimed Jesus the King of Israel. John 12:13
• The crowd was excited, and they said the right things, but they did not know what their words really meant.

2. Time brings perspective.

• Only after Jesus returned from the grave did His disciples begin to understand what they had done. John 12:16
• Prophesy was fulfilledon the day that Jesus rode into town on a young donkey!
  John 12:15
• It is easier to see the truth looking back.

3. The word is out that Jesus is some body.

• People kept talking about Jesus, sharing with everyone what He had done. John 12:17
• Because of this witness, many went to meet Jesus. John 12:18
• Do you have good news to share?
