which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. The promise of CHRIST’S redemptive work (Fulfilled - Jn 19:28,30 - AD 32) 23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come , 8 that the SON OF MAN should be glorified . P 24 Verily , verily , I say unto you , Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die , it abideth alone : 8 but if IT die , it bringeth forth much fruit . P 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it ; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal . 26 If any man serve me , let him follow me ; and where I am , there shall also my servant be : if any man serve me , him will my Father honour . 27 Now is my soul troubled ; and what shall I say ? Father , save me from this hour : but for this cause came I unto this hour . 28 Father , glorify thy name . Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it , and will glorify it again . 29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. 30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me , but for your sakes . The promise of eternal punishment for SATAN (Fulfilled - Rev 20:10)

Lazarus also, 1 whom he had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; 11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. CHRIST’S triumphal entry (S/A - Mt 21:1-11 & Mk 11:1-10 & Lk 19:29-38) Date - Sun, Apr, AD 32 12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 2 Took branches of palm trees, and went forthtomeethim, andcried,Hosanna: 3 Blessed is the 4 KING OF ISRAEL that cometh in the name of the Lord. P 14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; 5 as it is written, PF 15 6 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy 7 KING cometh, 5 sitting on an ass’s colt. PF 16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. 17 The people therefore that was with him 1 when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. 18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail noth- ing? behold, the world is gone after him. Certain Greeks seek CHRIST Date - Mon, Apr, AD 32 20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: 21 The same came therefore to Philip,

31 Now is the judgment of this world : now shall the 9 PRINCE of this world be cast out . P The promise of CHRIST’S crucifixion ; of HIS redemptive work (Fulfilled - Jn 19:18 & 28,30 - AD 32) 32 And I , 10 if I be lifted up from the earth , will 11 draw all men unto 8 me . PP 12:21 However, Jesus would not see them. Why? Because He was too close to His passion –the purpose for which He had come into the world. There are priorities in life that must be followed. THE ADAGE IS TRUE: Sometimes good things must be set aside for better things 12:24 Our destiny is compared to a “grain of wheat” ( corn of wheat ). Carol Kent in When I Lay My Isaac Down notes:

A seed has to give up its familiar form as a seed, allow itself to be buried in the dark earth, and trust that God will bring new life – even lush life – when the seed sprouts. In the same way, we need to be willing to give up whatever is most familiar, comfortable, and precious to us, allow ourselves to sink into the darkness, and trust God to bring life out of what feels like death. This is the mystery of fruitfulness: Life multiplied many times over from what seems like death. 1

THE ADAGE IS TRUE: Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end 12:27 During the last three hours that our LORD would be on the cross, due to our sins, He would be separated from the FATHER and the HOLY SPIRIT for the first time in all eternity past ( Psa 22:1 ). “ Save me from this hour ” was the awful agony of

this approaching separation that gripped our Savior’s emotions here. 1 Kent, Carol. When I Lay My Isaac Down , Canada, Navpress, 2004. Print.
