The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up

John 12:27-35

Jesus gave his life for the sins of the whole world that man may repent and turn to God.

The apostle, John said And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world

The apostle Paul said

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Some Greeks Seek Jesus

John 12:20-26

The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

These Greeks had a desire to see Jesus For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

The apostle Paul said,

But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

The Triumphal Entry

John 12:12-19

This was a glorious day, people lifting up Jesus as the king of kings and the Lord of Lords, but how much glorious when Jesus comes back riding on a white horse and the clouds of glory with a sharp sword in his hand to defeat the devil and his angels and all the wicked and to set up his kingdom forever and ever.
