THE DAY THE KING ARRIVED!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark 11:1-10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is Palm Sunday<\/em><\/strong>.  This is the day when we remember and celebrate Jesus\u2019 triumphal entry into the city of Jerusalem<\/strong>. This day marks that special day <\/strong>that Jesus<\/strong> was both praised <\/strong>and then later rejected. He was both received<\/strong> and then pushed away!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s this story which distinguishes Jesus<\/strong> as the Messiah. So, more than just being a good man<\/strong>, or a trusted teacher,<\/strong> or faithful<\/strong> rabbi<\/strong>. He revealed Himself<\/strong> as the one prophets<\/strong> had proclaimed for centuries<\/strong> would come. He was the PROMISED KING<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the hope of the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MESSAGE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a moment in history that must have been! That day, changed everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was, as one preacher once said \u2014 the day that\u2026\u201cThe <\/em>Son of God<\/em><\/strong> became the <\/em>Son of Man<\/em><\/strong>, so that the <\/em>Sons of men <\/em><\/strong>could become the<\/em> Sons of God! <\/em><\/strong>Hallelujah what a <\/em>Savior<\/em><\/strong>!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s who He was \u2014 God<\/strong> in<\/strong> flesh<\/strong>\u2026as we discussed last week. First He came from Heaven<\/strong> to earth\u2026but then, on this day (nearly 2000 years ago<\/em><\/strong>), He came riding into Jerusalem<\/strong> \u2014 proclaiming Himself to be their long awaited Deliver<\/strong> and<\/strong> Messiah<\/strong>! The one who would free them from the tyranny of sin and death!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s the story I want to look at with you today. So, if you have your Bible<\/strong> \u2014 turn there with me. You\u2019ll find this story told in several places, but I\u2019d like to read it from Mark\u2019s<\/strong> gospel<\/strong>. Mark<\/strong> chapter 11<\/strong>. Here Mark<\/strong> writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1<\/em><\/strong> As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, <\/em>2 <\/em><\/strong>saying to them, \u201cGo to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. <\/em>3 <\/em><\/strong>If anyone asks you, \u2018Why are you doing this?\u2019 say, \u2018The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 <\/em><\/strong>They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, <\/em>5 <\/em><\/strong>some people standing there asked, \u201cWhat are you doing, untying that colt?\u201d <\/em>6 <\/em><\/strong>They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. <\/em>7 <\/em><\/strong>When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. <\/em>8 <\/em><\/strong>Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. <\/em>9 <\/em><\/strong>Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, <\/em>\u201cHosanna!<\/em> <\/em>\u201cBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!\u201d<\/em> <\/em>10<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>\u201cBlessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!\u201d \u201cHosanna in the highest heaven!\u201d <\/em>11 <\/em><\/strong>Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark 11:1-10 (NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want you point our three significant things that happened as the King entered Jerusalem<\/strong> on this day (nearly 2000 years ago<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all\u2026when Jesus<\/strong> entered Jerusalem<\/strong>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. HE FOUND <\/strong>SOME WHO WELCOMED HIM<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That day was a day of celebration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mark<\/strong> tells us in verses 8-10<\/strong>, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    8 <\/em><\/strong>Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. <\/em>9 <\/em><\/strong>Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, <\/em>\u201cHosanna!<\/em> <\/em>\u201cBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!\u201d<\/em> <\/em>10<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>\u201cBlessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!\u201d \u201cHosanna in the highest heaven!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mark 11:8-10 (NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the people of Jerusalem \u2014 this was a BIG DAY! And everything that was happening, made sense to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To us, it may seem a little strange. Shouts, coats, palm branches, and a donkey. But to the people of Jerusalem, these symbols communicated hope and promise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This wasn\u2019t the first time a \u201cpotential messiah\u201d <\/strong>had entered Jerusalem<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For centuries, there were those who had come in that way \u2014 or similar ways, to establish their hopes for a government take over. These false messiahs <\/strong>would ultimately fail to deliver. But they many had come with the intentions of garnering the affections of the nation and hopes of rallying the people to a revolt against the political powers of their day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And, in the past, the nation had watched as their army would go out to battle \u2014 and after wards, their King would return (riding on a WAR HORSE), claiming victory over their enemies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Typically, when the KING would return \u2014 He came wearing his best armor, and was surrounded by his best warriors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But there was something different about Jesus\u2019 entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As He came, he came riding a donkey. And while it may have appeared to be weak and small \u2014 the people would have (no doubt), understood this to be a sign. A sign that Jesus was no ordinary King \u2014 for He possessed a divine mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As the prophet<\/strong> Zechariah<\/strong> had declared, in Zechariah 9:9<\/strong>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cRejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Zechariah 9:9 (NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And so, Jesus\u2019 entrance signified<\/strong> that He was the REAL DEAL<\/strong>. He was more than a KING<\/strong>\u2026He would be their KING of KINGS<\/strong>. He would be the MESSIAH<\/strong> \u2014 sent from God<\/strong> to rescue them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, they shouted and celebrated His arrival. <\/strong>And look again at their response. It reveals much about who they were looking for. In Mark 11:9-10<\/strong>, Mark records the people chanting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    9 <\/em><\/strong>Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, <\/em>\u201cHosanna!<\/em> <\/em>\u201cBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!\u201d<\/em> <\/em>10<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>\u201cBlessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!\u201d \u201cHosanna in the highest heaven!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mark 11:9-10 (NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These words \u2014 and their shouts of praise were taken from an ancient Psalm<\/strong> \u2014 a chant that had been rehearsed for hundreds and hundreds of years.<\/strong> It was taken from Psalm<\/strong> 118<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Listen to the words of this psalm. It begins by saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1<\/em><\/strong> Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.  <\/em>2 <\/em><\/strong>Let Israel say: \u201cHis love endures forever.\u201d  <\/em>3<\/em><\/strong> Let the house of Aaron say: \u201cHis love endures forever.\u201d  <\/em>4<\/em><\/strong> Let those who fear the Lord say:\u201cHis love endures forever.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Psalm 118:1-4 (NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And then it ends with these words the people were shouting as Jesus entered into the city. Psalm 118:25<\/strong> continues, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    25<\/em><\/strong> Lord, save us! Lord, grant us success! <\/em>26<\/em><\/strong> Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you  <\/em>27<\/em><\/strong> The Lord is God, and he has made his light shine on us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar.  <\/em>28<\/em><\/strong> You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you.  <\/em>29<\/em><\/strong> Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Psalm 118:25-28 (NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Luke<\/strong> tells us \u2014 when they quoted this Pslam<\/strong>, they also said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cBlessed is the KING who comes in the name of the Lord\u201d<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Luke 19:38 (NIV)<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And that is to say \u2014 they were excited. They were celebrating Jesus\u2019 arrival \u2014 and they were filled with hope. Hope that He would topple Rome and set up His new earthly kingdom. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And they were all in!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So now they are declaring \u201cthis is our king\u201d, not Rome<\/strong>, no Caesar<\/strong>, not some other nation. But this man \u2014 Jesus. He was to be their king! So, they said\u2014 blessed is this king who comes in the name of the Lord.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In many ways \u2014 this was there revolutionary cry!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, they shouted and praised Him\u2026and even waved palm branches at Him. Which was very important. I know, it seems strange to us today \u2014 but when they waved palm branches<\/strong> at Jesus<\/strong>. They were deliberately acknowledging Him as their deliverer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Because, Palm<\/strong> branches were a symbol of National freedom<\/strong> for the people of Israel. <\/strong>It was a sign of their declaration of independence!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And, they believed Jesus<\/strong> would be the King to lead them to freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, on that day, Jesus<\/strong> found some who celebrated Him.<\/strong> But that\u2019s not all He found. Mark<\/strong> tell us\u2026when Jesus<\/strong> entered Jerusalem<\/strong>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2.  HE <\/strong>(ALSO) <\/em>FOUND <\/strong>SOME WHO OPPOSED HIM!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As we read the story of Jesus<\/strong>\u2019 triumphal<\/strong> entry<\/strong> into Jerusalem<\/strong> \u2014 it\u2019s easy to overlook the shift that took place within the hearts of the people. While there were many who welcomed Him as He entered Jerusalem \u2014 after just a few days, the city was filled with shouts of rejection and opposition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This part of the story happens just a few days after His triumphal entry. Within hours of the celebration \u2014 the crowds began to call for Jesus\u2019 head. And with it, their cheers turned to jeers. His friends seemed to turn to foes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As Mark<\/strong> tells it \u2014 by Wednesday things would progress so far that \u2014 Jesus<\/strong> would be betrayed by Judas<\/strong>, then later arrested by Roman<\/strong> guards<\/strong>, and eventually tried by Pilate<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In Mark 15:1 <\/strong>we read,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1 <\/em><\/strong>Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. <\/em>2 <\/em><\/strong>\u201cAre you the king of the Jews?\u201d asked Pilate. \u201cYou have said so,\u201d Jesus replied. <\/em>3 <\/em><\/strong>The chief priests accused him of many things. <\/em>4 <\/em><\/strong>So again Pilate asked him, \u201cAren\u2019t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.\u201d <\/em>5 <\/em><\/strong>But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mark 15:1-5 (NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I wonder where we have stood on that day?<\/strong> Would we have been among the<\/strong> friends<\/strong> or the<\/strong> foes<\/strong>? Would we have welcomed Him as King<\/strong> \u2014 or opposed Him<\/strong> (as many seemed to do)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There were many who were disappointed that Jesus<\/strong> was not planning to physically overthrow Rome (and become an Earthly King)<\/strong>. But that was never his plan. Even so, many were disappointed. That seems to have been Judas<\/strong>\u2019 problem<\/strong> with HIm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But there were others who rejected Him because of the way His plan messed up their plans. For instance, many of the Sadducees<\/strong> and Pharisees<\/strong> opposed Jesus<\/strong> because His plan would make their religious structure obsolete. They preferred RELIGION <\/strong>to His offer of RELATIONSHIP. <\/strong>So, they opposed Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But this didn\u2019t derail Jesus<\/strong>. He continued to move forward \u2014 to complete His mission. After all, the King had come and was determined to usher in a new Kingdom<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And His<\/strong> kingdom<\/strong> was for all! As Luke 19:10 <\/strong>reminds us, \u201cFor the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And as Paul<\/strong> writes in Romans 10:13<\/strong>,\u201c\u2026everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And that includes those who hated Jesus<\/strong> and opposed His plan to save the World from it\u2019s sin. <\/strong>Even in their position of opposition \u2014 Jesus came to be their King! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Maybe it would be better to say \u2014 Jesus came especially<\/strong> to those who opposed him, He came for the LOST<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, along His path to the THRONE<\/strong> of our lives\u2026along His way to being crowned the KING<\/strong> OF<\/strong> KINGS<\/strong>, Jesus<\/strong> found some who celebrated Him, He found some who opposed Him\u2026and lastly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3.  HE FOUND <\/strong>HIS CROSS!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As we read this story \u2014 we must not miss<\/strong> the mission<\/strong> of our messiah.<\/strong> <\/strong>His ultimate goal and purpose was HIS CROSS!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He didn\u2019t simply come to garner attention<\/strong> or to ascend an earthly throne<\/strong>. He came to hang on a cross and give His life for ours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    His<\/strong> mission was the cross.<\/strong> He came to die<\/strong>. He came to be the<\/strong> sacrifice<\/strong>, for our sin. He came from Heaven to Earth to mend the breach<\/strong> our sin caused between the Holiness of God and the fallenness of man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That was His mission. His CROSS<\/strong> was the CENTER<\/strong> OF HIS PLAN! <\/strong>But understand, Jesus didn\u2019t enter Jerusalem as a helpless victim. He arrived as a powerful victor\u2014and the cross was His weapon He used to defeat sin, death, hell, and the grave.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And, so\u2026Mark <\/strong>tells us \u2014 after standing before Pilate<\/strong>, Jesus<\/strong> found His cross<\/strong>. Listen to the words of Mark 15:16.<\/strong> It says,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    16 <\/em><\/strong>The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. <\/em>17 <\/em><\/strong>They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. <\/em>18 <\/em><\/strong>And they began to call out to him, \u201cHail, king of the Jews!\u201d <\/em>19 <\/em><\/strong>Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. <\/em>20 <\/em><\/strong>And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mark 15:16-20 (NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That was His mission\u2026And today, <\/strong>His mission must be our message. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If we leave out His cross \u2014 we don\u2019t have a message. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I know, some people don\u2019t like the cross. They think the cross makes Christianity to bloody. But, without the spilled blood of our KING \u2014 we have no HOPE! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The centerpiece of our message must be\u2026the death of our Savior<\/strong> on the CROSS of calvary. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, the most significant thing Jesus<\/strong> FOUND<\/strong> after entering Jerusalem (on that Palm<\/strong> Sunday<\/strong>) 2000<\/strong> years ago was THE CROSS!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By the way, we call this day PALM SUNDAY. But, that\u2019s not what the Jewish<\/strong> people<\/strong> of Jesus<\/strong> day<\/strong> knew it as. They called this day\u2026\u201clamb selection day\u201d. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And that\u2019s because, on this day \u2014 Jewish<\/strong> families<\/strong> would gather together\u2026and then make their way to select a lamb (their lamb), to celebrate the Passover (that day where they remembered God\u2019s grace). So, they would choose a lamb, take it home\u2026care for it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In Exodus 12, God <\/strong>spoke to Moses<\/strong> and Aaron<\/strong>, the leaders of the Israelites<\/strong>, and says, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3 <\/em><\/strong>Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household.\u2026<\/em>6 <\/em><\/strong>Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. <\/em>7 <\/em><\/strong>Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Exodus 12:3, 6-7 (NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just as they had done back in Exodus \u2014 God\u2019s people continued to do. Choosing a lamb (with their family). Loving it\u2026caring for it. And then at Passover, sacrificing it as an offering of worship and thanksgiving to God for His grace and mercy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And, just to make sure we understood the MISSION<\/strong> OF<\/strong> OUR<\/strong> MESSIAH<\/strong> (our King of Kings<\/strong>)\u2026in the first century, on that day same day, God sent His Son into Jerusalem FOUR<\/strong> DAYS<\/strong> before<\/strong> Passover<\/strong>\u2026to be received as the SACRIFICIAL<\/strong> LAMB<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As John<\/strong> would write, Jesus<\/strong> is \u201cthe Lamb, which takes away the sins of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And as he would later write of Jesus<\/strong>, in Revelation 5:12<\/strong>, \u201cWorthy is the Lamb, who was slain.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t miss it \u2014 Jesus<\/strong> is our Passover<\/strong> Lamb<\/strong>! Understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2014 Jesus didn\u2019t come<\/strong> for the acclimation of the crowds as they would shout \u201cHosanna<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2014 And, He didn\u2019t come for the temporary throne of Rome<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2014 He came for the cross. He came to give His life and free us from sin!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And this morning, if you want you life to be changed<\/strong> \u2014 then you must welcome His cross. You can\u2019t have Jesus without His cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019ll close with this:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In August of 2003, the <\/em>Church of the Holy Cross<\/em><\/strong> in <\/em>New York City<\/em><\/strong> was broken into twice. In the first break-in, t<\/em>hieves made away with a metal moneybox<\/em> that had been resting next to a rack of candles. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But three weeks later, they returned \u2014 hoping to score something even more valuable. This time, they <\/em>unbolted a 4-foot long, 200-pound carving of Jesus <\/em><\/strong>from a meditation area. The carving was attached to a large wooden cross hanging on the wall. But when they took Jesus \u2014 they left the cross. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The church caretaker, a man by the name of <\/em>David St. James,<\/em><\/strong> stated in an interview, that <\/em>he just couldn\u2019t understand it. He was bewildered that they would want Jesus, but not his cross!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But it doesn\u2019t work that way. Because, the only way Jesus comes \u2014 is by way of the CROSS!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    ALTAR CALL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, here\u2019s your application<\/strong> \u2014  If you want to experience Jesus<\/strong> (as King)\u2026then you also have to take His cross! Welcome the promise of His love<\/strong>\u2026welcome the pain that He faced<\/strong>\u2026welcome the stripes that He bore<\/strong>. And in doing so, by faith <\/strong>\u2014 ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE LOVED<\/strong>! Welcome HIS FORGIVENESS FROM SIN! <\/strong>INVITE HIM TO GIVE YOU HIS PEACE<\/strong> FOR YOUR PAIN<\/strong>\u2026and, BELIEVE THAT BY HIS STRIPES YOU ARE HEALED! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, embrace Jesus<\/strong> as<\/strong> KING<\/strong>. And welcome thee promises into your life. But remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    YOU CAN ONLY EXPERIENCE THESE PROMISES\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
