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)
Jesus' power over the forces of evil demonstrated that the kingdom of God had come.
Faith is the means by which we are saved, obey God, and forgive our brothers and sisters.
The imprecatory (cursing) psalms point to the triumph of God’s justice through judgment or salvation.
