Bottomline: Jesus was denied so we could be accepted.
He died so we could live.
Intro- Being accepted by Aslan
Hosanna means praise and save....it means the lord saves…save us, we pray...
Jesus is celebrated as King just days before death.
We use the same mouth to yell hosanna as we also yell crucify Him!
We have all experienced Denial or Rejection....
is the account of arrest, trial, and Crucifixion of Jesus
The parallel of and 3… the fall according to NT Wright
Jesus doesn’t hide.
He has no reason to.
The father has given him a cup to drink, and he’s going to drink it.
The agony in the garden, so movingly pictured in Matthew, Mark and especially Luke, is missing from John.
John has shown us already how, three times over, Jesus’ heart has been deeply troubled (11:33; 12:27; 13:21).
The moment has now passed.
He is ready.
The new Adam steps forward to meet the old; the Word who was and is God comes to greet ‘the world’; the light of the world stands before those who, in their darkness, have come with torches and lanterns.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness is not going to extinguish it.
The scene becomes still more extraordinary as it progresses.
Jesus takes the initiative and asks them who they are looking for.
They tell him.
His answer is simple and shocking: ‘I AM’.
In the setting, of course, this means, ‘I’m the one’, or, ‘That’s me’.
But for John, with the God-and-Adam confrontation in the background, and all the ‘I AM’ sayings throughout his book in the foreground, there is no doubt what he wants us to hear.
This is the simple, clear and world-changing statement: the vulnerable man standing before you in the garden, glimpsed in the flickering torchlight, is the one who from all eternity was equal with the father.
He is the I AM, the bread of life, the light of the world, the resurrection and the life, the way, the truth and the life.
Something of this is the only reasonable explanation why, in this version, the arresting party stumble backwards and fall to the ground.
His rejection lead to our redemption.
Jesus was denied so we could be accepted.
He died so we could live.
