Sir, We Would See Jesus

April 20th, 2008

1. 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?
