All of a sudden, in John 11:55-12:26, Jesus not only permitted but encouraged people publicly to recognize him as king. What had changed? What we have awaited during the whole gospel of John finally happened: his hour to be glorified had come! However, his glorification would be exactly the opposite of what everyone expected. (sermon notes)
As David’s covenant with David held firm through difficult times, so God’s covenant with us keeps us throughout our lives.
God gave us The Ten Words, which show us how to live well and our need for Jesus Christ.
Jesus told more parables to show that the kingdom of God is free to enter but demands everything.
