Dying to Live | Alex Tang | Sermon
Monday, 25 March, 2024
Palm Sunday sermon. 2024. John 12: 20-50. The main theme of this passage revolves around the necessity of self-sacrifice and the paradox of life through death. Jesus introduces the concept that true life and fruitfulness come through dying to oneself, echoing the larger theme of his own death and resurrection. He is preparing his followers for the reality that following him means embracing the path of self-denial and sacrifice, which leads to eternal life. The introduction of Greeks seeking Jesus foreshadows the spread of the Gospel beyond the Jewish community to the Gentile world, emphasising the universal scope of Jesus' mission.
