Introduction
Do you remember when we use to call our airline carriers directly, to book a flight?
Or call the hotel in the city which you plan to visit and arrange your reservation front desk agent?
Or go to the car lot to deal directly with the sale’s representative
Or call your favorite real estate agent when it came time to buy a house
Now we live a the age of digital intermediaries
What I mean is you can research, review, and even purchase almost everything you need from the world wide wide web.
Including groceries.
Illustration: In the June 2014 issue of the Harvard Business Review under the topic of Competitive Strategy there was an article titled “Mastering the Intermediaries” written by Benjamin Edelman
"In our increasingly digital world, businesses and consumers have become starkly more dependent on a number of powerful platforms… platform dependence is now ubiquitous.
Almost every retailer looks to Google to refer customers, and it’s rare to find a manufacturer whose products are not sold on Amazon.”

Transition To Body
2 Corinthians 5:16
Body- Others See Jessus
Who gets to see Jesus?
They See Jesus’ Disciples
They See Jesus’ Disciples
The Greeks csaid, “Sir we wish the disciples to see Jesus
Greeks:
a person who participates in Greek culture and in so doing would speak the Greek language, but not necessarily a person of Greek ethnic background—‘civilized, Greek.’
wish:
to desire to have or experience something—‘to desire, to want, to wish.’
see:
though always used in the pres.: “to have realised, perceived” == “to know.”
It often replaces the perf.
ἔγνωκα (→ I, 689), “to have experienced, learned to know” == “to know.”
Philip = Greek name = lover of horses
Philip is out and about
wish:

How do they see Jesus’ disciples?
When the disciples are available and properly engaged
- fruit of the Spirit implications
through the work and ministry of the Body of Christ therefore it matters how we do the ministry
ministry= service
ministers= servants
Jesus’ Disciples Talk To One Another
Jesus’ Disciples Go And Talk To Jesus
How is your prayer life?
The Holy Spirit gives us words to say-
the work of the Holy Spirit () &
Jesus Responds To His Disciples
to give to the “Greeks” who come to worship
What is Jesus’ reply?
Is Jesus saying, the time for people seeing him in the physical flesh is over; that He is about to die in order to birth the church i.e. bear much fruit.
Is Jesus saying that the Greeks ought to be able to see Jesus through His disciples?
Abide in Jesus
John
Regarding the word glorified:
to cause someone to have glorious greatness—‘to make gloriously great, to glorify.’
καὶ νῦν δόξασόν με σύ, πάτερ ‘and now, Father, glorify me’ or ‘… give me that glorious greatness’
Regarding the word serve:
to render assistance or help by performing certain duties, often of a humble or menial nature—‘to serve, to render service, to help, service, help.’
Regarding the word follow:
to come/go behind or after someone else—‘to follow, to come behind, to go behind.
Regarding the word honor:
to attribute high status to someone by honoring—‘to honor, to respect.’
Transition To Close
Transition To Close- But then Jesus response is kind of unusual.
Jesus makes a shift
John 12:32-
So The Greeks did not get to see Jesus
They only got to see Jesus’ through His disciples
What if a person’s only means of seeing Jesus is through you?
Are ready to help them see Jesus today?
Are you ready to loose your life for the cause of Jesus Christ?
Are you ready to follow Jesus Christ today?
To follow Jesus is to deny yourself
And take up your cross daily!
Did someone come to this church building today looking Jesus?
Did you come looking for a greater purpose in life than just living for yourself?
Did you come looking for deliverance and restoration today?
Well, you can find it all in Jesus Christ!
And let me take a few moments to introduce you to Jesus Christ!
