We'll read verses 20 through 26 of John chapter 12.

Now there were certain Greeks, which is an odd thing,

by the way, that Greeks would be here in Palestine wanting to see Jesus.

Just keep that in mind they are foreigners.

They're like away from home. Now there were certain Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast.

These therefore came to Philip, who was from Bethseda of Galilee and began to ask him saying,

Sir, we wish to see Jesus.

Philip came and told Andrew and Philip came and they told Jesus and Jesus

answered them saying, not the kind of answer you might expect, but here's what he said.

Verse 23, the hour has come for the son of man to be glorified.

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone.

But if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life

loses it. And he who hates his life in this world shall keep it to eternal life.

If anyone serves me, let him follow me.

And where I am, there shall my servant be also.

If anyone serves me, the father will honor him.

Should remind you of Chariot's a fire.

He who serves me I will honor Eric Little held in his hand as he ran that last race.

Now here you have these Greeks and I don't know whether it's summertime or not but they are doing what the

banner says they're supposed to do and what I'm calling you to do and what I want to do all summer.

They say, verse 23, we want to see Jesus.

We want to see Him.
