John 12:20-32

In John 12, the arrival of the Greeks signals that Jesus’ mission is extending to all nations and that the time has come for His death and glorification. Jesus teaches that, like a seed that must die to produce fruit, His sacrifice on the cross will bring salvation and spiritual life to all who call upon Him.

  • God is sovereignly working through every circumstance – even painful and confusing ones.
  • When facing trials, uncertainty, or sin, believers are called to lift their eyes to Jesus, trust His plan, and find their hope and joy in Him.
