Episode Notes: Jesus Predicts His Death (John 12:20-36)
Introduction
- Context: For 400 years, Israel had no prophet. Suddenly, John the Baptist appears, baptizing in the Jordan River, claiming the Messiah is here, but he is not the Messiah.
- Key Events: Jesus of Nazareth begins healing and teaching, drawing interest and controversy. His actions and claims of divinity provoke the religious leaders.
- Climax: The resurrection of Lazarus intensifies the leaders' rejection of Jesus, leading to plans for His death.
John 12:20-22 - The Request
- Passage: Some Greeks seek an audience with Jesus during a festival. They approach Philip, who consults Andrew, and together they inform Jesus. The interest of Gentiles (non-Jews) marks a pivotal moment, indicating the beginning of the inclusion of Gentiles in Jesus' ministry.
John 12:23-26 - Jesus' Reply
- Key Statement: "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified."
- This marks the shift in Jesus' ministry from public teaching to the path leading to His crucifixion.
- Metaphor: Jesus uses the metaphor of a kernel of wheat, explaining that it must die to produce many seeds. This foreshadows His own death and the resulting salvation for many.
- Challenge to Followers: Jesus emphasizes the need for His followers to embrace self-sacrifice, stating that true life is found in giving up one's life for Him.
John 12:27-30 - Jesus’ Struggle and Submission
- Jesus' Humanity: He acknowledges His troubled soul but submits to God's will, recognizing His purpose to glorify the Father through His death. then God’s voice affirms Jesus’ mission, heard differently by the crowd (some hear thunder, others think an angel spoke).
John 12:31-33 - Judgment and Victory
- Judgment: Jesus’ death will bring judgmen
