Bible Lesson: Conversations With
Jesus: Death, Then Glorification.
Bible Text:
John
12:20-36 KJV
20
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at
the feast:
21
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus.
23
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that The Son Of
Man should be glorified
24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth
much fruit.
25
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto Life eternal.
26
If any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall
also My servant be: if any man serve Me, him will My Father honor.
27
Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from
this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28
Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven,
saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29
The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it
thundered: others said, An angel spake to Him.
30
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of Me, but for
your sakes.
31
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world
be cast out.
32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.
33
This He said, signifying what death He should die.
34
The people answered Him, We have heard out of the law that Christ
abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son Of Man must be lifted
up? who is this Son Of Man?
35
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is The Light with you.
Walk while ye have The Light, lest darkness come upon you: for he
that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36
While ye have Light, believe in The Light, that ye may be the
children of Light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did
hide Himself from them.
Jesus told His followers...
John
12;26 KJV
If
any man serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also
My servant be: if any man serve Me, him will My Father honor.
Those
who serve The Father, will one day be honored by Him..
And
now the day of The Son's Glorification was at hand.
John
12:23 KJV
And
Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that The Son Of Man
should be glorified
The
Lord Jesus, would not only call the Jews, to Himself, but the Greeks,
and all Gentiles, but this would be only through His death.
John
12:32 KJV
And I, if I be lifted
up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.
Jesus,
gave the example of the corn of wheat.
John
12:24 KJV
Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground
and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much
fruit.
Isaiah 53:1 -12 NKJV
1
Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of The Lord been
revealed?
2
For He shall grow up before Him as a Tender Plant, And as A Root Out
Of Dry Ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3
He is despised and rejected by men, A Man Of Sorrows and acquainted
with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was
despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4
Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we
esteemed Him stricken,Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our
iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His
stripes we are healed.
6
All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his
own way; And The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as A Lamb to the slaughter, And as A Sheep before its
shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.
8
He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His
generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For
the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
9
And they made His grave with the wicked—
But
with the rich at His death,
Because
He had done no violence,
Nor
was any deceit in His mouth.
10
Yet it pleased The Lord to bruise Him;
He has
put Him to grief.
When
You make His soul an offering for sin,
He
shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And
the pleasure of The Lord shall prosper in His hand.
11
He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His
knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He
shall bear their iniquities.
12
Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He
shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because
He poured out His soul unto death,
And He
was numbered with the transgressors,
And He
bore the sin of many,
And
made intercession for the transgressors.
John
3:14-21 KJV (Numbers
21:4-8)
14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must
The
Son Man
be lifted up (This
speaks of Calvary and our Lord's death. ed.):
15
That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have eternal Life.
16
For God so loved the world, that He
gave His
Only
Begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting Life.
17
For God sent not His
Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
Him
might be saved.
18
He that believeth on Him
is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of The
Only
Begotten
Son Of
God.
19 And this is the
condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved
darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.
20
For every one that doeth evil hateth the Light, neither cometh to The
Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21
But he that doeth Truth cometh to The Light, that his deeds may be
made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Jesus warned, to be His followers, they must die to the world and all it's allurements to follow Him.
John 13:15 KJV
For I have given you
an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
John
12:25 KJV
He
that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto Life eternal.
Matthew
10:39 KJV
He
that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for
My
sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:25 KJV
For whosoever will
save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My
sake shall find it.
Mark 8:35 KJV
For whosoever will
save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for My
sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
Luke 9:24 KJV
For whosoever will
save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my
sake, the same shall save it.
Luke 17:33 KJV
Whosoever shall seek
to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life
shall preserve it.14
Jesus,
The Light Of The World:
Luke
1:78 NLT
Because
of God’s tender mercy, The Morning Light From Heaven is about to
break upon us
John 1:4,7,9 KJV
4 In Him was Life;
and The life was The Light of men.
7 The same came for
a witness, to bear witness of The Light, that all men through Him
might believe.
9
That
was The
True
Light, which Lighteth
every man that cometh into the world.
John 8:12 KJV
Then spake Jesus
again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that
followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of
life.
John 9:5 KJV
As long as I am in
the world, I am The Light Of The World.
John 12:46 KJV
I am come A Light
into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in
darkness.
Acts 26:23 KJV
That Christ should
suffer, and that He should be the first that should rise from the
dead, and should shew Light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
II Corinthians 4:4
KJV
In whom the god of
this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the
Light of The Glorious Gospel Of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.
I John 2:8 KJV
Again, a new
commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in Him and in you:
because the darkness is past, and The True Light now shineth.
Must
Jesus Bear The Cross Alone?
Must Jesus bead the
cross alone, and all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for
every one, And there's a cross for me.
The Consecrated cross
I'll bear, Till death shall set me free,
And then go home my
crown to wear, For there's a crown for me.
Upon the crystal
pavement, down At Jesus pierced feet,
Joyful, I'll cast my
golden crown, And His dear name repeat.
Oh! precious cross! Oh!
Glorious crown! Oh! Resurrection day!
Ye angels, from the
stars come down, And bear my soul away.

Shepard
Prayer:
Matthew 11:28-30
KJV
28 Come unto Me, all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn
of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy, and My
burden is light.
37 “...him that cometh to Me I
will in no wise cast out.”
40 And this is the will of Him that
sent Me, that every one which seeth The Son, and believeth on Him,
may have everlasting Life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on Me hath everlasting Life.
