Triumphal Entry
What’s after that…
Prayer
God our father we ask that you would speak to us this day through your word. Help us to do your word and will as we hear it. Change us, mold us and make us into appropriate image bearers of your son!
Message
1 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, 5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’ ” 6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.” 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant, 16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, “ ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise’?” 17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.

Palm Sunday - This is where the name comes from...
Matt
Why the palms?
What did the people expect in a messiah?
The very next thing Jesus does…?
party / inauguration / throne
NO

12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant,
16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, “ ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise’?”
17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.
16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple.
18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

What Was Supposedly Happening...
7 “But if he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord as his compensation for the sin that he has committed two turtledoves or two pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
- Levitical Command = Sin Atonement
Atonement = sacrifice
17 “If anyone sins, doing any of the things that by the Lord’s commandments ought not to be done, though he did not know it, then realizes his guilt, he shall bear his iniquity.
Sheep - Pigeon - flour
Sin Offering
Priest to atone for them
- Joy of Engaging The LORD
Prayer / Offerings / Worship / Joy
all peoples
These people had a role to fulfill, a calling to preform, a chosen and royal nation of priests!!
What Was Really Going On…
8 “Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail.
9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, make offerings to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known,
10 and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations?
11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord.
Same Old Israel… The Human Condition
Self deceived and unforgiven…
Jesus parable of the two men
We want Jesus as Saviour but not as LORD
Trampeling the blood of Jesus
Triumphal Entry = to be king / to be savior / to be rejected / to be murdered / to be forsaken
I’m gonna do what I wanna do and then I’ll just ask for
In the midst of all this chaos...
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant,
16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, “ ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise’?”
The Blind & Lame Are Healed
Jesus came for those who are broken
Christianity is not a crutch, it is life support, I am hopeless on my own!
when we recognize our condition we can receive grace
where in your life do you need to come to terms with your brokenness before God?
will you come to Him and receive healing, forgiveness, and hope?
The Self Righteous Are Indignant
When we think we have it all figured out we will be offended by Jesus
When we are practicing Religion Jesus will offend us
where in your life are you most tempted to be indignant with God?
your christian walk
your family
your finances
in what circumstances do you find it difficult to give the glory to God?
where in your life is it hardest for you to
your education
your career
your abilities
We Are Made New By Grace Through Faith
Childlike faith…
simply believing isn’t always so simple
Pharisees & Disciples
39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
18 So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?”
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?”
21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
Palm Sunday - Triumphal Entry - Turning The Tables
From Religion = Relationship
Close
Have we made our relationship into a religion?
The Ecstasy of Relationship
Jesus Spirit - within you - you are the temple
The Economy of Religion
transactional interaction - tit for tat
Invitation
Prayer
Jesus we invite you to turn the tables in our own lives, to cleans us of all falsity. We are blind and lame and we come to you and beg for your healing.
Benediction
May this Jesus who not only came as king but as slave. This Jesus who is in the business of purifying us and making us Holy as He is holy. May He turn the tables in your life!
