Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it. And he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. [00:00:49] (17 seconds)
If anyone serves me, let him follow me. And where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him the Father will honor. Now my soul is troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this purpose, I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name. [00:01:06] (20 seconds)
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself. This he said, signifying by what death he would die. [00:01:47] (15 seconds)
Isaiah 49 verse 6 says, indeed, he says, it is too small a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel. I will also give you as a light to the Gentiles that you should be my salvation to the ends of the earth. [00:05:08] (21 seconds)
Through Christ's sacrifice, he would provide atonement to all people. Or in Hebrew, kol goyim, all of the people, all people. 1 Timothy 4 .10, Paul says, for to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially to those who believe. [00:08:09] (26 seconds)
Jesus is the door, and he's the only way. There is no other name given unto man by which he must be saved, Jesus. And you'll hear Joel Osteen say, oh, but Jesus is the way, but there are many ways to Jesus. That is a complete blasphemous lie. You must have faith in Christ, in Christ alone. [00:11:56] (21 seconds)
He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Now, when he's talking about hating, we hear this in several different occasions as Jesus says this word about family or friends. That is saying to forsake. In Hebrew culture, they use a word that is extreme to say a point. [00:13:56] (26 seconds)
It costs to follow Jesus. Not that it costs anything to be saved. We don't have to do anything. Salvation is by faith alone, by grace, only by faith in Christ. But there's a cost sometimes in following Jesus because we have to give up, right? We have to forsake our lives. [00:14:32] (21 seconds)
So many of us want to be honored by people. We live to be honored by people. But all of that is just so temporary, it's so fleeting, and it will all disappear. When we leave this body and we're standing in eternity, what we accomplished in this world, in this life really doesn't matter, I would rather be honored by God, right? [00:18:18] (19 seconds)
Jesus' soul was troubled. Why? Because he knew exactly what was coming. He wrote the script. This was all part of his plan. This was all part of the father's plan from before the foundation of the earth. He knew exactly what was coming to him. [00:19:57] (16 seconds)
Jesus said many tribulations you will have but take heart for I have overcome the world that is the hope that we have because through him we will overcome as well and the Bible says we are more than conquerors it won't look like that to the world if we're suffering or for struggling but we know that eternally we have a glory that surpasses far surpasses any trial we will ever face on this earth and it will all be worth it in the end [00:23:55] (30 seconds)
The Bible says that, you know, in the book of Revelation, in the Revelation that John had of the end, that all these armies will surround Israel. They will battle. They will come to battle against Israel. And then he will descend. He will descend with his host. He will descend on a white horse. And he will annihilate the enemies of God. [00:39:55] (25 seconds)
