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.
