God’s Plan Prevails

 (41) God’s Plan Prevails
(John 12:11-19)
Rev. Brian Lee

 I. The Evil Grows
Get rid of that One Man (11:50)
Plans to Kill Lazarus as well (12:10)

 II. The Good Prospers
ONE Person: Lazarus (v. 11)
The Crowd continued to spread the word (v. 17)
Many People Heard and went out to meet Jesus (v. 18)
Everyone has gone after him! (v. 19)

 III. God’s Plan Prevails
There is nothing we can do, Look, everyone has gone after him! (v. 19)
Prophecy Being Fulfilled (vv.14­-16)
The Disciples did not understand at first (v. 16)

 IV. Application
We are just like the disciples who did not understand the grand plan of God at first. What are some things you just cannot accept and understand about events and things happening around you? And how can you better trust in God's goodness and faithfulness regarding the issues you are dealing with?
What Jesus had done in Lazarus' life ended up drawing many people's lives to God. Are you living a life of winning people over to Christ? If not what's stopping you?
Jesus lived a life of fulfilling the prophecies or the will of God. Is fulfilling the will of God the top priority in your life? Pray that fulfilling God's will be the most important and the first priority for you, your family and the church.
