The Hour Has Come (1 of 2)
Series: The Hour Has Come

John 12:20-36
Easter Sunday is one week away. I want to challenge you to bring a guest with you. We have a small gift for all of guests next Sunday – Bible and Lee Strobel’s The Case for Easter.
Palm Sunday is a significant marker for God’s people. It’s the day where Jesus enters into Jerusalem to kick off a week of monumentally important event.

Our story picks up on all probability on the following day, Monday of Holy Week. On Friday, He is crucified and on Sunday, He arises.

If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd that ...
