Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor. (John 12:20-26, NRSV)
Is it really any wonder the disciples didn’t get Jesus?
Some Greeks come and ask to see Him and Philip went to Jesus and told Him and He starts talking about the Son of Man being glorified and a seed dying and producing much fruit. Uhm Jesus what does all of that have to do with these people who want to see you, what should I tell them?
This is truly where faith comes in. We must believe and follow even without understanding and that is hard but so worth the effort and the ride will be one that is not ever forgotten!
