John 12:20-26

First Point
Seeking to
Serve

John 12
20 Now among those who went up
to worship at the feast were
some Greeks. 21 So these came
to Philip, who was from Bethsaida
in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we
wish to see Jesus."

John 12
22 Philip went and told Andrew;
Andrew and Philip went and told
Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered
them, "The hour has come for the
Son of Man to be glorified.

The Ultimate “Non
sequitur”
Do you go to New
York or by water?

Mark 7
24 And from there he arose and
went away to the region of Tyre
and Sidon. And he entered a
house and did not want anyone to
know, yet he could not be hidden.

Mark 7
25 But immediately a woman
whose little daughter had an
unclean spirit heard of him and
came and fell down at his feet.

Mark 7
26 Now the woman was a
Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth.
And she begged him to cast the
demon out of her daughter.

Mark 7
27 And he said to her, “Let the
children be fed first, for it is not
right to take the children's bread
and throw it to the dogs.”

Mark 7
28 But she answered him, “Yes,
Lord; yet even the dogs under the
table eat the children's crumbs.”

Mark 7
29 And he said to her, “For this
statement you may go your way;
the demon has left your
daughter.”

Mark 7
30 And she went home and found
the child lying in bed and the
demon gone.

Matthew 15
24He answered, “I was sent only
to the lost sheep of the house
of Israel.”

Matthew 15
28Then Jesus answered her, “O
woman, great is your faith! Be it
done for you as you desire.”
And her daughter was healed
instantly.

Second Point
Dying to
Serve

John 12
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless
a grain of wheat falls into the
earth and dies, it remains alone;
but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

John 12
25 Whoever loves his life loses it,
and whoever hates his life in this
world will keep it for eternal life.

Third Point
Honored to
Serve

John 12
26 If anyone serves me, he
must follow me; and where I am,
there will my servant be also. If
anyone serves me, the Father will
honor him.

Matthew 4:19
“Come follow me, and I
will make you fishers of
men.”

Mark 8:34
“If anyone would come after
me, let him deny himself
and take up his cross and
follow me.”

2 Timothy 4:7-8
7 I have fought the good fight, I
have finished the race, I have
kept the faith.

8 Henceforth there is laid up for
me the crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous
judge, will award to me on that
Day, and not only to me but also
to all who have loved his
appearing.

John 12:26b
“If anyone serves
me, the Father will
honor him.”

Johann Paul Friedrich Richter
(Jean Paul)
The more sand has escaped
from the hourglass of our life
the clearer we should see
through it.
