Matthew 21:1-11
The countdown to the crucifixion.
Her past doesn't matter.
Neither is yours.
Giving Jesus your best is never a waste of your time.
He knew that, in a matter of days, He would be killed.
#1. The Beginning of the end.
-
It was a declaration of intent and mission.
-
Every day brought Him closer to His day of earthly destiny.
-
Man’s bondage was about to be broken.
-
He knew what they did not know.
#2. His Word is sovereign.
-
Why was He on a donkey?
-
What was happening in their midst was a miracle of major proportion.
-
He, and His Word, are sovereign.
-
The Word arrived.
-
"Hold to God's Word in faith and watch the God-ordained results."
#3. Praise is powerful.
-
He is exalted and glorified because of who He is, and what He has done.
-
We know we have hope because of His resurrection.
-
"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."
-
Thanksgiving leads to praise, and together they lead us into God's presence.
-
In His presence you will find strength for today and hope for tomorrow.
