Today,we're focusing on verses 14–16, which say, "When the hour had come, He,Jesus, sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. Then He said to them, 'Withfervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.For I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in thekingdom of God.'" Most Bible scholars believe that the following verses17–20, which describe the institution of the Lord's Supper, take place at theend of the supper, so we'll come back to those verses. Toget the full glimpse of what is taking place we remember that that it is Thursdayevening, which would have been the Jewish Friday, because sundown begins thenext day for the Jewish people. We also believe these events took place in theupper room in the city of Jerusalem. Whenever I have visited Israel we always goto this location I Jerusalem, not the same building, but an upper room where wetake the Lord's Supper with our tour group. Webelieve that's what takes place in verses 17–20. But before Jesus institutedthe Lord's Supper, the Lord has the Jewish Passover supper with His disciples. Rememberthat Jesus sent Peter and John ahead to prepare for this supper. The lamb hasbeen slaughtered and roasted. Some tell us that the lamb was roasted with apomegranate stick stuck through the middle and another crossway through thelamb, then roasted over the fire for the Passover meal—a picture of the crossof Christ, suffering on a cross, crucified for our sins and your sins. Inverse 14, it says, "When the hour had come," and we've talkedabout the hour that Jesus knew would be on that day, an hour that He would goto a cross and suffer. During this time, the Passover supper takes place inthis upper room. If you want to read the details of what was said in the upperroom, go to John chapters 13, 14, 15, 16, and possibly even chapter 17, whereJesus prays His High Priestly Prayer. We know that prayer could have takenplace in the upper room or on the way to Gethsemane when He left, because John18:1 says, “When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciplesover the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciplesentered.” Somethingelse to notice in John chapter 13: the first thing Jesus did when they enteredthe room, as the host of the Passover dinner, was kiss each of the disciples,which means He would have kissed Judas, whom He knew would betray Him. Somebelieve Judas sat on His left and John on His right, as described in John12:23. In the upper room, Jesus washes the disciples' feet giving them anexample of humility. Which apparently the disciples didn't learn from it. Becauselater, after the Passover meal, the disciples argue over who's going to begreatest in the kingdom (Luke 22:24-30). InJohn 14, Jesus tells the disciples not to let their hearts be troubled and givesthem the promise of heaven, the promise that He will come again, and thepromise of the Holy Spirit. In John 15, Jesus gives the message of abiding inHim—He is the vine, and we are the branches. In John 16, He goes into detailabout the Holy Spirit, the Comforter who will come and be with them. Jesusknows the hour has come and says, “I will no longer eat of it until it isfulfilled in the kingdom of God."(v.16). Jesus no doubt said this because He knew this Passover time would fulfillall the Old Testament scriptures of the Passover Lamb. Jesus, that PassoverLamb, is the last Passover. In verses 17–20, we see the institution of theLord's Supper, which is now left for us, the church. Theseare very interesting scriptures. I trust you will get a glimpse into thesuffering of our Lord and understand what He did for you and me in a specialand unique way. Godbless!

Faith is Essential to Believe in Jesus | John 12:35–50 1. By faith, you must believe that Jesus is the Light of the World. 2. Believing requires faith; we walk by faith, not by sight. 3. Believing in Jesus is rewarded with salvation. Jesus performed signs, fulfilled prophecy, and spoke truth straight from the Father—so why did so many still not believe? In this message, we unpack why faith is essential to truly believe and follow Jesus. Evidence matters, but faith is what brings it to life. If you've ever wrestled with doubt or wondered what it really means to trust Jesus, this message is for you.

Harvest Church Arroyo Grande - Sunday June 1st, 2025
In this message from John 12:20-26, we encounter Jesus' final public words—a call not to ease or comfort, but to a life of surrender. As Jesus approaches the cross, He reveals that true glory comes through sacrifice, and true life through death to self.The crowd anticipated a conquering King, but Jesus came as the suffering Savior—declaring that unless a grain of wheat falls and dies, it remains alone. Likewise, to follow Him means daily self-denial, living not for this world, but for the glory of God and the life to come.Through rich teaching, we're reminded that the call of Christ is not hidden in fine print: “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” This is the path to fruitfulness, joy, and the presence and honor of God.
The Expensive Perfume - Part 2
When Mary brings the expensive perfume to anoint Jesus she is pouring out a costly, atmosphere-changing, sacrifice of worship. Acts of costly worship like this also expose hearts. Judas is offended, claiming that she is being wasteful and that she could have sold it to give to the poor. But what does Jesus call it? "Beautiful." His rebuke of Judas seems to be one of the final straws leading to Judas' betrayal, and Jesus has something to say about this, too. "The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him..."

What comes to mind when you think about God?In this powerful sermon, we are invited to elevate our understanding of God's holiness by encountering the King Isaiah saw in Isaiah 6—a throne not at eye-level, but high and lifted up. This is the same King revealed in John 12: Jesus Christ. The one worshiped by angels in heaven, who arrives in humility on earth.He is not like us—He is set apart, utterly holy, and yet He draws near. Through Scripture, we trace the tension between transcendence and tenderness: a Holy King who humbles Himself to redeem sinful people.Come face-to-face with the glory of God—and leave with a deeper awe of grace.
What makes a life truly memorable in the eyes of God?In John 12, as Jesus approaches the cross, we encounter a remarkable act of worship from Mary of Bethany—an act so precious that Jesus declares it must be remembered wherever the gospel is preached. In this message, we examine Mary's legacy and learn what God honors in a life fully surrendered to Him.From Mary's sacrificial gift to her quiet humility and profound spiritual insight, we are reminded that it's not fame, wealth, or achievement that leaves an eternal impact—but a heart that deeply loves and honors Christ.Passage: John 12:1–11Key Points:1. Mary's Sacrifice 2. Mary's Humility 3. Mary's Insight 4. Mary's LoveThis message calls us to lay our lives at the feet of Jesus—whether through giving, serving, learning, or loving. In doing so, we find the path to a life that heaven remembers.

Jesus has explained that the cross is the history changing moment for the world.

Mary anoints His feet with costly perfume. Judas Iscariot grumbles about this because he is a thief and hopes to plunder money from the sale of the perfume. A large crowd gathers to see Jesus and the resurrected Lazarus. This infuriates the Jewish leaders, who plan to kill Lazarus. Jesus then enters Jerusalem, and His followers worship Him as King. Many come to Jesus, including Greeks who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover feast. Jesus teaches them that personal sacrifice is needed to be in His kingdom. The people then hear God, from heaven, proclaim Jesus and His glory! Some follow Him, while others who believe are silenced by their fear of the Jews. The approval of men, and fear of others, are serious tests of faith. To believe in Jesus is to follow His teachings, leaving darkness for light, no matter what anyone thinks. The world, in so many ways, tries to weaken and silence believers. Judas was weakened by greed, and he betrayed the Lord. The Pharisees were blinded by jealousy and selfishness. Though God from heaven pronounced Jesus as worthy, others feared the actions of men and would not confess Jesus as King. In all of this, there are servants like Mary, who poured her expensive oil on Jesus' feet with no concern for what anyone thought about it. Only those who believe like Mary will be saved on the last day. Holy God, we love You and desire to grow in our service to You and Your Son. Help us to see how that must resemble Mary pouring oil on Jesus' feet. Help us to see ourselves bowed down to worship Jesus as He rides in on a colt. This world and its darkness seek to overwhelm us and make us ashamed of Jesus. Give us the strength to fight against greed and jealousy. Help us develop the courage to live out a sacrificial faith in Christ, regardless of what anyone says or does. We know “that His commandment is eternal life.” Thought Questions: - We cannot replicate Mary pouring expensive oil on Jesus' feet. But what does it look like for you to be more like her? - Jewish leaders rejected Jesus, while Greeks sought to speak with Him. What does that say about where faith might be found? - Jesus had to “be lifted up” in death to save us from our sins. Might you also have to face public ridicule in following Jesus?
Fr. Mike recalls the death of Lazarus, and how Jesus not only allowed himself to be broken by the sorrow that breaks us but also how he took that hopelessness and brought forth life. He also explains how the covenants we've seen in the Old Testament are all leading to the eternal covenant that will be instituted through Christ on the Cross.
