This sermon explores the importance of focusing on Jesus in a world filled with distractions. It uses the story of the Greeks who wanted to see Jesus (John) as a reminder that the primary purpose of faith is to know and understand Jesus.
Key Points:
- Even as preachers, it's easy to lose focus on Jesus.
- People naturally seek Jesus, but sometimes their motivation is to see him physically rather than understand his message.
- Jesus' response to the Greeks wanting to see him sets the stage for his later teachings about sacrifice and following him.
- The sermon concludes by asking listeners if they truly want to "see" Jesus and understand his message.
