We Would See Jesus (42 of 75)
Series: The Gospel of John
Mike Stone
John 12:20-26
A little boy was drawing an unusual picture. His mother asked him what he was drawing. He replied that he was drawing a picture of God. She said, ''Son, nobody really knows what God looks like.'' The youngster responded, ''They will when I get done with my picture!''
Many saints talked about seeing Jesus. John said, ''We beheld His glory...'' Perhaps he was thinking about the transfiguration. (John 1:14) Simon Peter was there and would later write that he beheld the majesty of Christ on that holy mountain. (2 Peter 1:17-18) Paul saw Him as a shining light on the road to Damascus. (Acts 9)
Many songs talk about seeing Him.
Open up the heavens we want to see You.
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord, I want to see You.
Open our eyes, Lord. We want to see Jesus.
Many Scriptures talk about seeing Him.
Isaiah 6 - I saw the Lord
Daniel 3 - Nebuchadnezzar saw a 4th man in the fiery furnace
Revelation 1 - John saw Christ with feet like brass, eyes like blazing fire, white hair
Revelation 19 - I saw heaven opened, and a white horse and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True...His eyes are like a flame of fire...on His head were many crowns.
In today's text, some Greeks come and ask to see Jesus. At first glance, it appears as if Jesus never responded to their request. Upon closer examination, He clearly answers their question. And in so doing, He tells us how we can see Him as well.
In a glorious foreshadowing picture of the gospel of Jesus spreading to the Gentiles, some Greeks in the city of Jerusalem ask to see Jesus. The Bible does not tell us WHY they wanted to see Him. We only know THAT they wanted to see Him.
Leon Morris says the word ''see'' involves more than mere sight. ''They wanted to meet Him, to talk with Him, and to benefit from His teaching.'' Imagine you said, ''Pastor I'd like to see you this week.'' You would mean more than physical sight. ...
