1	The King Who Died for Me John 12:12-36
2	Introduction “Sir, we would see Jesus.” There have been many kings and rulers in the history of the world. What kind of king is Jesus?
3	I. Jesus is a powerful and humble king. John 12:12-19
4	He is the Lion and the Lamb. There were Pilgrims Passover Palm Branches – a symbol of victory Praises – Psalm 118:25-26
5	Jesus came in fulfillment of Scripture. “Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, Righteous and having salvation, Gentle and riding on a donkey, On a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Zechariah 9:9
6	The donkey was a symbol of humility and peace.
7	II. Jesus is a loving and gracious king. John 12:20-36
8	The full extent of his love would be shown at the cross. Jesus is a king for all the nations. Verses 20-22 Jesus willingly laid down his life for you and me. Verses 23-24 and 27-28
9	Jesus will go to the cross because of his love for the Father and his love for us. Jesus will triumph over sin, death and Satan. Verses 31-32 “And when I am lifted up, I will draw all men to myself.”
10	It would look like defeat, but it would be the most powerful victory the world has ever seen. “The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” John 12:25
11	The Christian life is full of paradoxes. “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives I me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20
12	Conclusion Jesus is the king who died for you and me. How do we respond to a king like that?
