John 4:4 – Jesus identified Himself as living water. Soon a Samaritan woman and her entire village are swept up in a revival!
John 6:25 – Jesus fed a crowd then offered an invitation: "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst."
John 7:37 – Jesus taught during the Feast of Booths and then on the last day, "Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water."
Jesus soon spoke again (8:12) – "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
The Good Shepherd calls to His sheep 10:7, 9) – "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. … I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture."
The Gospel of John is full of invitations to follow Jesus.
What does it mean when Jesus stops inviting?
Join me in John 12: 27-36.
Jesus expresses the weight and the urgency of His hour.
And then He offers His final public invitation!
The hour of the cross is the hour of God's glory. 27-28 – The cross and God's glory. 29-33 – The cross and God's judgment. 34-36 – The cross and God's offer.
