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)
In a series of verbal skirmishes with religious leaders, Jesus showed who we are and how we should live as the image of God...
In a boat journey across the lake, Jesus showed himself to be an exhausted human and almighty God.
No matter how long we have been Christians, we can always keep growing more and more in purity and love.
