Name Of The Lord

John 12:9-13 – Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him. The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!”

James 1:15 – Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Psalm 118:26 – Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you.

Application:

• ·         Sin grows.
• ·         The three stages—desire, sin, death—are seen in temptations of Eve and David.
• ·         John had a special interest in Jesus’ royalty, which he brings out throughout the passion narrative.
