A NOTE FROM San Diego First Church of the Nazarene in Point Loma

Sunday, March 20, 2016
9:00 Classic Service in the Ellipse Chapel
10:30 New Celebration Service in Brown Chapel
“MORE TO LEARN”
Text: John 12:16
Scripture: John 12:16 His talmidim did not understand this at first; but after Yeshua had been glorified, then they remembered that the Tanakh said this about him, and that they had done this for him.
John Wesley's Notes-Commentary for John 12:16
Verse 16
[16] These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
These things his disciples understood not at first — The design of God's providential dispensations is seldom understood at first. We ought therefore to believe, though we understand not, and to give ourselves up to the Divine disposal. The great work of faith is, to embrace those things which we knew not now, but shall know hereafter.
When he had been glorified — At his ascension.
