A Sight of Jesus
John 12:20-33
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:…


I. A PERSONAL OR BODILY VIEW. No reliable portrait or representation of our Lord has been handed down to us, and we have reason to believe no such portrait was ever taken. It was, no doubt, in the order of God's providence that it should be so, or the portrait, and not the Saviour Himself, would probably have been the object of worship.

II. HISTORICAL view. We all know about the incarnation, etc., of Christ, and the other points of His human history, as recorded.

III. THEOLOGICAL view. "I and My Father are one" human, as well as Divine — hard to some to believe.

IV. BELIEVING view. "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness," etc. "Look unto Him, and be ye saved."

V. IMITATIVE view. After believing, let us go on unto perfection, imitating Christ, "doing good."

VI. JUDICIAL view. Christ will sit on His great white throne, etc.

VII. HEAVENLY view. "There we shall see His face, and never, never sin," etc.

(L. H. Wiseman, M. A.)
