PRAYER
If you would like to send in a prayer request we would be happy to pray for you. Just let us know how we can pray for you below.
MESSAGE: WHEN JESUS COMES YOUR WAY
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5 “Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
-Matthew 21:1-11, NIV
Here’s three things all of us can learn from Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. When Jesus comes your way:
1. Worship Him without Shame
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” 40 “I tell you,” Jesus replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” -Luke 19:39-40, NIV
You aren’t just commanded to worship Jesus. You were made to do it. Jesus is so worthy of praise if the people remain silent then the rocks would cry out. You were created uniquely in the image of God to worship your maker.
2. Don’t Merely Praise Him for Who You Want Him to Be, Love Him for Who He Really Is
Hosanna: a term of praise and joy that acknowledges God has saved or anticipates that He will save. Literally, means “save us”. Comes from Psalm 118:25.
Jesus: his name means the “Lord Saves”. Check it out in Matthew 1:21.
Palm branches: a symbol of power and victory. Often laid at the feet of Roman champions to honor their victory.
The people were looking for God to save them, but they were not looking for the salvation that Jesus was bringing. They wanted a conquering king, but He came as a suffering servant.
Jesus’s heart was broken because He knew what they were looking for.
41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. -Luke 19:41-42, NIV
It’s one thing to praise Jesus with your lips, it’s another thing to love Him from the heart. Jesus often operates outside of our expectations. When we lack true commitment, the shattering of our expectations often leads to a cessation of our praise. Or worse yet, our praise can turn to complaint, bitterness, or hate. It’s very interesting how the crowds that praised Jesus on Sunday were calling for His death on Friday. This is the very malady Jesus came to save us from, a corrupt and sinful heart. They wanted saved from the Romans while Jesus wanted to save them from their sins. Love Jesus from the heart even when He operates outside of your expectation.
3. Choose to Meet Jesus on the Donkey, Not on the Horse
All of us will come face to face with Jesus one day. All of us will bend our knee to His authority. Choose to do it now to a gentle, loving savior that rides the donkey. Don’t wait until Jesus returns riding a white horse in judgment. Then it will be too late.
LEAD ME TO THE CROSS
Savior I come
Quiet my soul, remember
Redemption's hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as loss
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh lead me, lead me to the cross
You were as I
Tempted and trialed
Human
The Word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now You're risen
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as loss
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh lead me, lead me to the cross
To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart
Lead me to your heart
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh lead me, lead me…
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh lead me, lead me to the cross
