Title: Jesus Predicts His Crucifixion!
Author: Marvin Patterson
Text: John 12:26-37
Introduction
1. Do you ever get in a hurry? I heard about a wife and her husband that interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist. The wife said, "I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want Novocain because I'm in a big hurry. Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible, and we'll be on our way." The dentist was quite impressed. "You're certainly a courageous woman," he said. "Which tooth is it?" The woman turned to her husband and said, "Show him your tooth, dear."

dee-ak-on-eh'-o
From G1249; to be an attendant, that is, wait upon (menially or as a host, friend or [figuratively] teacher); technically to act as a Christian deacon: - (ad-) minister (unto), serve, use the office of a deacon.
We are to wait upon the Lord, just as deacons wait upon the widows in the Book of Acts! They took them food when they were hungry! How do you serve the Lord? You follow Him wherever He goes! Are you following the Lord as He leads you down life's pathway!
