SERIES SUMMARY
When we arrive in John 12, we learn that Jesus is now less than a week away from his crucifixion. John 12:1 tells us that we’re 6 days away from the Passover Feast and it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Pharisees have a plan to murder God’s Son, the Lamb of God that would take away the sins of the world (Jn 1:29). However, as his oppressors get louder, Jesus’ mission becomes clearer – Jesus tells us that He will in fact die (Jn 12:7), that His death will take place on a cross (Jn 12:32), that He will cast out Satan through His death (Jn 12:31), that He will be glorified by His death (Jn 12:23), and that His death will bring eternal life to anyone that would lose their life to follow Him (Jn 12:25). Although the adoring crowds would soon reject Him, John wants us to see in John 12 more clearly than ever that Jesus really is the Triumphant King that has come to save His people from their sins.

Over the next 6 weeks, we’ll explore several of the contrasts that John presents to us through John 12 – treasure over treason, adoration over rejection, losing our life over loving our life, light over dark, and ultimately belief over unbelief. In all of this, we pray that the object of our faith would become clearer as we stand in awe of the glory of Jesus Christ presented to us through His Word.
