Tuesday, April 4: Scripture – John 12:20-26
20 Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks.
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”
22 Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
23 Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26 Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.”
Prayer Focus: In a small country church which often had visiting preachers, there was a note placed in the pulpit which said, “John 12:21 – We wish to see Jesus.” It was a good reminder to the preachers that those who gathered to worship in that small country church were not there to see the preacher. They wanted to see Jesus; they wanted to hear a word that pointed them to Jesus; they wished to hear the old, old story of Jesus and his love. Pray that all whom you meet today will see Jesus when they look at you. We wish to see Jesus!
