Who is Jesus? In John 12, the crowd, the disciples, and the Pharisees all answered this question in very different ways. Alistair Begg reviews their responses and challenges us to consider our own answer to this question, understanding that our faith rests upon what we profess.
12The next day rthe large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13So they took branches of spalm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, t“Hosanna! Blessed is uhe who comes in the name of the Lord, even vthe King of Israel!” 14And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
15w“Fear not, daughter of Zion;
behold, your king is coming,
sitting on a donkey's colt!”
16xHis disciples did not understand these things at first, but ywhen Jesus was glorified, then zthey remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17aThe crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18The reason why the crowd went to meet him bwas that they heard he had done this sign. 19So the Pharisees said to one another, c“You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, dthe world has gone after him.”
