Praise Your King
John 12:12 - 19
17 July 2022
Jesus' signs demonstrate who He is - the Messiah; the Son of God. Those who seek Jesus for other reasons will always be disappointed when they must face who He is, and His demands on our lives. But blessed are those who love Him as king!
Praise Him as your king! Jesus came into Israel, gathering crowds and receiving the worship He deserved as the king of Israel. He ascended towards Jerusalem, and the crowds hailed Him as Messiah, although most were only caught up in the excitement.
Give thanks for your understanding! The crowds and leaders saw Jesus and did not believe, and even the disciples struggled to understand. But we are blessed with the Spirit who lives in us, and teaches us about Christ.
Testify about who He is and what He's done! Men today are much the same as in Jesus' day: some will believe, most will not. But He has sent us out to proclaim the same message: that Jesus is King.
