Greeks signal the salvation that will come to the Gentiles. Joh 12:20-24
We are poised at the great entrance of Christ into Jerusalem on the back of a young donkey. This is 5 days before the Passover and the Lord’s triumphal entry; what is traditionally known as Palm Sunday. Everyone was in a state of excitement or agitation. The disciples have just had their faith muscled by watching the...

Using the power of God to destroy the fortresses that stand between you and the super-grace life. Eph 1:6; Eph 3:14-19; 2Co 10:3-4
I know of a certain person who is a believer who is wonderful to be around when things are going well but not so much when things are bad.

Who's who in the multitude that comes out to see Jesus on the colt. John 12:12-19; Zec 9:9; Gen 49:10
This brings us back to John 12:12 where the Palm Sunday incident is recorded. But remembering that John is the Gospel of the Son of God it will be handled in a little different way. John 12:12 On the next day the great multitude who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,...

Be careful of desiring prosperity but not by means of grace. John 12:10-12; Mark 11-12; Psa 118:22-26
John 12:10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus to death also; It seems their meetings are ending up in the same way each time. Kill Jesus, the miracle worker, kill Lazarus, the miracle itself, let’s just kill all evidence of grace in this world so that we can stay fat, powerful, and...

Positive volition develops instinctive love for the Lord. John 12:1-3; Jer 17:7-8
Now in John 12 Jesus has returned to Judea for His final time, which would be His seventh. Seven in the scriptures speaks of perfection and fulfillment. Christ enters Judea for the seventh time perfect (impeccable) and ready to fulfill the final act of God’s plan for His life. And it begins with...

Legislation against the laws of freedom will destroy a nation. John 11:51-57
John 11:51 Now this he did not say on his own initiative; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation, In verses 51 and 52 we have the parenthetical observation of John. This is to show that he knew Caiaphas and what Caiaphas was really...

John 11:47 Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council [“a council” – that is the word Sanhedrin, sunedrion[sun = together; edra= sitting] which means a sitting together. Transliterated, this word is Sanhedrin.], and were saying [there was a great deal of discussion],...
