Sermon Outline

Palm Sunday: A Good Time for Heart Evaluation
John 12:20-33

1. For Jesus, his glory and the cross are the same thing

2. For believers, without a cross there is no following Jesus

Daily taking up your cross is the intentional, ongoing, love-driven, world-weaning choice to exalt and honor Christ, doing the things that please him while refusing to live for self.

This is an intentional practice.

It's also an ongoing practice.

It is a love-driven practice.

It is a world-weaning practice. 12:25b; Col 3

3. Without following Jesus there is no life at all.

There will be no life without death. This is not a catchy Christian saying, but a Biblical truth that calls us to serious personal investigation. To what kinds of exercises are you giving yourself that allow for careful looks at your own soul? To what kinds of activities do you give yourself that might dull your sensitivity to such things? To what dangers is one left if one never examines his or her own heart?

Contemplate today's passage and discover promises and comforts that are supplied for those who will follow after Christ, even to the point of suffering.

What evidences do you see in yourself of a life that is not captured by satisfactions and pleasures of this world? Are there clear points of attachment to which you should die? What encouragements do you have that God is helping you make progress in this area?

Be encouraged when you have struggles or soul or when you shrink away from the pain of taking up your cross. The Lord Jesus has gone before you and calls you, still, to follow.
