The King | The Gospel of John: A Book of Signs | Palm Sunday St Marcus MKE Sermons
-
- Christianity
This week we’ll be studying John 12:12-29 under the theme “The King.” Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday providing a unique picture of a humble, otherworldly King. This teaches us a great deal about the humble, otherworldly living of God’s people in the Kingdom.
The Gospel of John, written a couple decades after the other Gospel records, focuses less on the facts of Jesus’ ministry and more on the meaning of those facts. John frequently refers to Jesus’ miracles as “signs” – i.e. signals that point us to something even more significant than the miracle itself. John teaches us that Jesus is the “Word Incarnate” who dwelt among us, loved us dearly, and gave our lives eternal meaning.
