(Matthew 18:20)

7. The Number 3 Service – Martha is serving the meal Fellowship – Lazarus is reclining at the table with Jesus Worship – Mary is sitting beside Jesus’ pouring out very expensive spikenard on His feet

11. A Triumphal Entry? John 12:12-13: The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!”

12. A Triumphal Entry? John 12:12-13: The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!” Zechariah 9:9: Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

13. There Is No Difference Between Jew and Gentile John 12:20-22: Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus. John 12:23: But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. (NKJV)

15. What Kind of “Life” Do You Want? John 12:25-26: Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. Hebrews 4:12: For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Mark 8:34: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

16. Glorify Your Name? John 12:27-30: “Now my soul 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. Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him. Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit, not mine.”

17. Confusion John 12:31: Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. John 12:32-34: And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die. The crowd spoke up, “We have heard from the Law that the Messiah will remain forever, so how can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘Son of Man’?”

18. A Summary to the End of Jesus’ Public Ministry He is equal with God the Father (vs. 44-45) He came to rescue people from spiritual darkness (vs. 46) His primary objective was to save – not to judge (vs. 47) His words will judge the disobedient on the last day (vs. 48) His words are the words of the Father (vs. 49-50) Obedience to God’s command brings eternal life (vs. 50)
