Passage: John 12:12–33

  1. King Jesus comes to Jerusalem (12–19)

 

  • “Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem”
  • “Jesus found a young donkey”
  • “Blessed is the king of Israel!”
  • “Look how the whole world has gone after him!”

2. King Jesus predicts the “hour” of his glorification - that is, the appointed time for his death, resurrection, and exaltation (20-30)

3. King Jesus’ death/glorification will achieve four things (31-33)

  • It will pass judgment on the world. 
  • It will ‘drive out’ the prince of this world – the devil. 
  • It will exalt him. 
  • By it, Jesus will draw all people to himself.
