In today’s message from the gospel of John we reach a turning point in the biography of Jesus. In John 12, the life of Jesus pivots from His public life to the events leading to His death on the cross. The final events in the life of Christ were not what His followers expected, but they were accomplishing what His followers needed. The reality is, Jesus is not the King we want, but He is the King we need!

Have you ever been disappointed when someone or something didn’t live up to your expectations? 

According to Luke 9:51, why was Jesus going to Jerusalem? Read John 12:12-15: What were the expectations for Jesus at that time?

What would you say is the typical mental image people have of Jesus? In other words, what do people expect of Him? Has there ever been a time you’ve expected something from God but didn’t receive it?

In this message we learn that “Jesus is not the King we want; but He is the King we need.” How does that truth adjust the expectations you have of Him?  Very practically, what are some of the things you want but don’t necessarily need? What are the things that you need?

How does the fact that Jesus is King change your Monday through Friday? How does it impact your friendships, family, and career? If Jesus is on the throne of your life, how does that change you?
