This Week's Message
"Receive Jesus for Who He Is"
Blake Williams
| John 12:12-19
What happens when the Jesus we want isn’t the Jesus we actually need?
In John 12:12–19, Jesus enters Jerusalem to the cheers of a crowd waving palm branches and declaring Him King. They welcomed Him with excitement, but many had expectations about who Jesus was and what He had come to do. Jesus wasn’t simply coming to meet their expectations. He was coming as the promised King and Savior they truly needed.
This passage invites us to examine how we receive Jesus in our own lives. Are we following Him for who He truly is, or are we trying to fit Him into our plans, preferences, and expectations?
Jesus is worthy of more than our enthusiasm when life goes the way we hoped. He invites us to trust Him, follow Him, and receive Him as King.
