Sir, We Would See Jesus
April 20th, 20081. To see Jesus one must listen to His words.
- Jesus said, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. John 12:23
- I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. John 12:24
- Jesus said, that only by losing your life, can you save it.
2. Jesus purpose is proclaimed.
- “Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. John 12:27
- But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself. John 12:32
- For Jesus to be glorified, it meant going to the cross not receiving honors.
3. The people don’t understand.
- The people ask, “If you are lifted up, if you die, how can you be the Christ?” John 12:34
- Jesus urges them to trust Him and to become sons of light. John 12:36
- Where do you put your trust?
