Good morning,
00:00:34.53\00:00:35.86
good morning boys
and girls, happy Sabbath.
00:00:35.90\00:00:39.60
So wonderful.
00:00:39.63\00:00:40.97
Get everybody.
00:00:47.38\00:00:49.04
Right.
00:00:49.08\00:00:50.78
Good morning, good morning.
00:00:50.81\00:00:53.75
Morning.
00:00:53.78\00:00:55.45
How many of you have
00:00:55.48\00:00:57.22
ever heard your
parent say stress?
00:00:57.25\00:01:03.06
Stress, stress out.
00:01:03.09\00:01:04.76
Who knows what stress means.
00:01:08.33\00:01:10.83
Who knows what stress means.
00:01:10.87\00:01:12.20
Hiring, part of stress.
00:01:15.60\00:01:17.21
Don't want to talk to anybody?
00:01:29.12\00:01:30.75
Question.
00:01:33.96\00:01:35.32
Very good.
00:01:35.36\00:01:38.93
Stress echo stress.
00:01:38.96\00:01:41.03
Angry.
00:01:41.06\00:01:42.40
Anger, very good,
those are powerful pieces.
00:01:42.43\00:01:44.93
Stress is when you
have responsibilities
00:01:44.97\00:01:47.80
that you need to take
care of and guess what,
00:01:47.84\00:01:50.61
everything around you
is not when you're told
00:01:50.64\00:01:53.71
what you need to do
and if you get frustrated
00:01:53.74\00:01:56.81
and then you say, I
don't talk to anybody.
00:01:56.85\00:02:00.32
How many of you have ever
said, "Mommy, I need help."
00:02:00.35\00:02:02.85
Mom's like, "Not now, not now."
00:02:02.88\00:02:06.35
Very good, I'm talking
it from the mom's view.
00:02:06.39\00:02:10.03
Tells me sometimes
mom's can have a rough day
00:02:10.06\00:02:11.73
and she is just stuck in traffic
00:02:11.76\00:02:14.10
but there is
nothing that succumbs to us
00:02:14.13\00:02:17.73
and everybody including you
all have stress in your life.
00:02:17.77\00:02:22.34
This mean, young
man, you come here.
00:02:22.37\00:02:26.71
You're going to
be our principal.
00:02:26.74\00:02:29.74
Principals have stress.
00:02:29.78\00:02:32.35
Okay, you're
going to be our mommy.
00:02:32.38\00:02:35.88
Mommies have stress.
00:02:35.92\00:02:37.72
Samuel, you come here,
00:02:37.75\00:02:41.06
okay, daddies have stress.
00:02:41.09\00:02:44.09
Isaiah, come on,
you gonna be our pastor.
00:02:44.13\00:02:46.16
Pastor today.
00:02:46.19\00:02:48.63
Naomi, you gonna be our student.
00:02:48.66\00:02:51.73
Students have stress.
00:02:51.77\00:02:54.27
All of these
people have stresses.
00:02:54.30\00:02:56.24
Wrap this around you like.
00:03:02.24\00:03:04.78
It just covers around you,
00:03:24.03\00:03:29.50
it covers you up, okay.
00:03:29.54\00:03:33.21
And here you raise it now.
00:03:33.24\00:03:37.11
You got to keep the performance,
00:03:37.15\00:03:38.48
you need to do.
00:03:38.51\00:03:39.88
All right.
00:03:39.91\00:03:42.58
Okay.
00:03:42.62\00:03:43.95
That was stress
though, that was smart of you.
00:03:43.99\00:03:46.32
Even Jesus has stress.
00:03:53.33\00:03:56.30
He came down here,
00:03:56.33\00:03:57.70
he in the cool dew
walking with the disciples,
00:03:57.73\00:04:00.50
talking to the people,
00:04:00.54\00:04:01.94
but he came down here to
give his life for us, right?
00:04:01.97\00:04:06.68
And the devil tried to
talk to him in the forest
00:04:06.71\00:04:09.48
and wilderness,
00:04:09.51\00:04:11.38
devil tried to tempt
him and the devil came,
00:04:11.41\00:04:16.92
stand around
him, covered him up.
00:04:16.95\00:04:19.42
Guess what?
00:04:19.45\00:04:22.82
He looked down,
00:04:22.86\00:04:24.96
he said,
"Father, just talk to me,
00:04:24.99\00:04:27.80
let this cup pass,
00:04:27.83\00:04:30.03
but God told him 'cause He go,
00:04:30.07\00:04:33.94
He had to give his life for us.
00:04:33.97\00:04:36.64
And you too came
here with the stress,
00:04:36.67\00:04:39.57
all you need to do is bow
your head wherever you are,
00:04:39.61\00:04:43.88
close your eyes
and talk to Jesus.
00:04:43.91\00:04:47.45
And God will take your stress.
00:04:47.48\00:04:49.38
There's nothing too small
that He won't help you with.
00:04:49.42\00:04:53.82
He will help you
with your homework,
00:04:53.86\00:04:56.16
He will help you
everything trash out.
00:04:56.19\00:04:58.86
He will help you at school,
00:04:58.89\00:05:00.80
He will help you from a bully.
00:05:00.83\00:05:02.56
He will help you be obedient
and listen to your teachers.
00:05:02.60\00:05:06.87
God is a stress reliever.
00:05:06.90\00:05:10.71
Leave stress
and we must be okay,
00:05:10.74\00:05:14.64
and ask Him for
everything we need, okay?
00:05:14.68\00:05:19.21
Clovey, you want us to pray?
00:05:19.25\00:05:21.68
Okay, here we go, so
Sina and Michel come here.
00:05:21.72\00:05:25.12
Now I want you to
get stressing that.
00:05:29.29\00:05:31.39
You have to close your eyes.
00:05:35.36\00:05:36.87
Dear Jesus, thank you
for the strength for us...
00:05:36.90\00:05:42.50
Please help us to be virtuous.
00:05:42.54\00:05:45.47
Amen!
00:05:50.88\00:05:53.52
Dear Lord,
first thing is help us
00:05:53.55\00:05:57.85
to don't fight with anybody.
00:05:57.89\00:06:01.49
Amen!
00:06:01.52\00:06:02.86
Thank you.
00:06:02.89\00:06:04.23
Good morning.
00:06:09.80\00:06:13.74
Do we all love our Lord Jesus?
00:06:13.77\00:06:16.27
We love Him
because He first loved us.
00:06:16.30\00:06:19.34
And as we prepare for communion,
00:06:19.37\00:06:21.41
remember him he is
now coming with us.
00:06:21.44\00:06:24.45
We're going to
stand up offering Him
00:06:24.48\00:06:25.91
our best to heap our
praise because we love Him.
00:06:25.95\00:06:28.82
Amen!
00:06:28.85\00:06:30.39
Now look at the
words on the screen for you
00:06:30.42\00:06:33.15
'cause we want to
sing all three verses.
00:06:33.19\00:06:36.46
There are verses
between each verse.
00:06:36.49\00:06:38.49
Verse one, there is the name.
00:06:42.43\00:06:45.20
There is a name I love to hear
00:06:45.23\00:06:51.24
I love to sing its worth
00:06:51.27\00:06:57.38
It sounds like music in my ear
00:06:57.41\00:07:03.42
The sweetest name on earth

Who died to set me free
00:07:39.12\00:07:44.96
It tells me of
His precious blood

00:08:14.89\00:08:18.89
Verse three, it tells.
00:08:18.93\00:08:20.73
It tells of one
whose loving heart
00:08:20.76\00:08:26.70
Can feel my deepest woe
00:08:26.74\00:08:31.04
Who in each sorrow
00:08:31.07\00:08:32.87
Who in each sorrow bears a part
00:08:32.91\00:08:38.18
That none can bear below
00:08:38.21\00:08:42.52
Come on, everybody now sing,

Happy Sabbath to everyone.
00:09:38.54\00:09:41.98

voices this morning
00:09:42.01\00:09:43.98

00:09:44.01\00:09:45.35

and he heard your cry.
00:14:12.65\00:14:15.22
He said, he'd pity
every groan long as I live,
00:14:15.25\00:14:18.75
when troubles rise.
00:14:18.79\00:14:21.96
Now listen to this song.
00:14:21.99\00:14:23.46
I love the Lord
00:14:27.53\00:14:32.83
He heard my cries
00:14:37.54\00:14:42.58
And pitied every groan
00:14:47.08\00:14:54.09
Long as I live
00:15:01.80\00:15:06.07
When troubles rise
00:15:11.07\00:15:16.01
I'll hasten to His throne.
00:15:20.78\00:15:26.52
His throne
00:15:33.09\00:15:34.86
I can't hear the
choir singing it.
00:15:34.90\00:15:37.30
Oh, I love the Lord, hallelujah.
00:15:37.33\00:15:39.83
I love the Lord
00:15:39.87\00:15:44.57
He heard my cries
00:15:49.14\00:15:55.78
And pitied every groan.
00:15:55.82\00:15:58.15
And pitied every groan
00:15:58.19\00:16:05.16
Long as I live
00:16:11.60\00:16:15.77
When troubles rise
00:16:20.68\00:16:25.28
I'll hasten to His throne.
00:16:29.72\00:16:36.22
His throne
00:16:41.36\00:16:44.33
All will sing amazing grace.
00:16:44.37\00:16:45.87
Amazing grace.
00:16:45.90\00:16:48.07
Amazing grace
00:16:48.10\00:16:54.08
How sweet the sound.
00:16:55.31\00:16:57.11
How sweet the sound
00:16:57.15\00:17:03.18
That saved a wretch like me.
00:17:03.22\00:17:06.05
That saved a wretch like me
00:17:06.09\00:17:13.06
I once was lost.
00:17:17.20\00:17:19.03
I once was lost
00:17:19.07\00:17:26.01
But now I am found.
00:17:26.51\00:17:28.14
But now I am found
00:17:28.18\00:17:32.75
Was blind
00:17:34.75\00:17:38.82
But now I see
00:17:38.85\00:17:43.12
I'll hasten to his throne.
00:17:50.97\00:17:52.67
I'll hasten to his throne
00:17:52.70\00:17:57.04
I'll hasten to his throne
00:18:01.48\00:18:05.88
I'll hasten to his throne
00:18:10.29\00:18:15.12
I'll hasten to his throne
00:18:19.13\00:18:24.23
I'll hasten to his throne
00:18:27.70\00:18:32.84
I'll hasten to his throne
00:18:36.24\00:18:41.68
I'll hasten to his throne
00:18:44.89\00:18:49.72
I'll hasten to his throne
00:18:52.96\00:18:59.23
I love you.
00:19:04.37\00:19:07.78
I love you.
00:19:07.81\00:19:10.71
I love you Lord today
00:19:10.75\00:19:16.05
Because you care for me
00:19:16.08\00:19:21.82
In such a special way
00:19:21.86\00:19:26.63
That's why I praise you
00:19:26.66\00:19:31.50
I lift you up
00:19:31.53\00:19:34.87
And I magnify your name
00:19:34.90\00:19:39.61
That's why my heart
is filled with praise
00:19:43.51\00:19:48.98
One more time, I love you.
00:19:52.95\00:19:54.79
I love you
00:19:54.82\00:19:58.09
I love you
00:19:58.13\00:20:01.20
I love you Lord today
00:20:01.23\00:20:07.64
Because you care for me
00:20:07.67\00:20:12.87
In such a special way
00:20:12.91\00:20:19.18
That's why I praise you
00:20:19.21\00:20:22.98
I lift you up.
00:20:23.02\00:20:24.39
I lift you up
00:20:24.42\00:20:26.92
And I magnify your name
00:20:26.96\00:20:33.16
Oh that's why...
00:20:33.19\00:20:35.56
That's why my heart
is filled with praise
00:20:35.60\00:20:40.87
One more verse, my heart...
00:20:43.94\00:20:46.34
My heart
00:20:46.37\00:20:49.34
My mind
00:20:49.38\00:20:52.91
My soul belongs to you
00:20:52.95\00:20:58.29
You paid the price for me
00:20:58.32\00:21:04.59
Way back on Calvary
00:21:04.63\00:21:10.67
That's why I praise you
00:21:10.70\00:21:15.80
I lift you up
00:21:15.84\00:21:19.71
And I magnify your name
00:21:19.74\00:21:25.05
That's why...
00:21:25.08\00:21:26.82
That's why my heart
is filled with praise
00:21:26.85\00:21:31.75
Oh, that's why...
00:21:36.79\00:21:39.46
That's why my heart
is filled with praise
00:21:39.49\00:21:45.47
I love the
Lord, I love the Lord.
00:21:45.50\00:21:49.57
That's why...
00:21:49.60\00:21:51.64
That's why my heart
is filled with praise
00:21:51.67\00:21:58.61
My heart is filled with praise.
00:22:10.19\00:22:13.23
I'll hasten to the throne.
00:22:13.26\00:22:16.73
God is in the
business of answering prayer.
00:22:16.77\00:22:20.80
I've seen Him work
miracles in my life.
00:22:20.84\00:22:25.01
And I know that
00:22:25.04\00:22:26.37
you're going to test to
that as well in your life.
00:22:26.41\00:22:29.71
This is the time
00:22:29.74\00:22:31.08
when we're going
to pray to the Lord.
00:22:31.11\00:22:32.85
If you've a burden or a concern,
00:22:32.88\00:22:35.48
I invite you to
come to the front
00:22:35.52\00:22:39.05
and leave your
burden at the altar
00:22:39.09\00:22:43.02
as we petition in
the throne of God.
00:22:43.06\00:22:45.09
He can mend my brokenness
00:23:04.95\00:23:11.05
He has a
miracle to fit our needs
00:23:14.99\00:23:22.00
Once you trust Him
00:23:27.54\00:23:32.54
You will receive
00:23:32.57\00:23:37.81
Our precious heavenly Father,
00:23:37.85\00:23:40.75
we thank you so much
00:23:40.78\00:23:43.59
for yet another opportunity
to live to praise you.
00:23:43.62\00:23:48.42
We thank you so much for
granting us another Sabbath
00:23:48.46\00:23:53.03
just to praise your name.
00:23:53.06\00:23:55.16
You've done so
much in our lives, Lord.
00:23:55.20\00:23:58.10
And we just thank you so much.
00:23:58.13\00:24:00.47
Even things we
didn't ask for Lord,
00:24:00.50\00:24:03.20
you've blessed us with.
00:24:03.24\00:24:05.11
Now Lord, we come before you
00:24:05.14\00:24:07.44
laying our burdens at your feet.
00:24:07.48\00:24:11.01
Lord, we bear our hearts to you,
00:24:11.05\00:24:13.28
some are
suffering with sickness,
00:24:13.31\00:24:16.05
pain, relationships,
00:24:16.08\00:24:18.62
Lord, family,
00:24:18.65\00:24:20.76
whatever it may be,
00:24:20.79\00:24:22.12
you know each one of our hearts,
00:24:22.16\00:24:24.39
and we lay it before you now.
00:24:24.43\00:24:27.76
Lord, I pray that you
could help us to be a witness
00:24:27.80\00:24:31.33
not only to our
families but our neighborhoods,
00:24:31.37\00:24:34.60
help discharge to be
an even wider lighthouse
00:24:34.64\00:24:39.41
in this
community and far beyond.
00:24:39.44\00:24:43.04
Now Lord we
because of the long hurt,
00:24:43.08\00:24:46.85
because we want to mention
00:24:46.88\00:24:48.78
the names on our
sick and shine list.
00:24:48.82\00:24:52.65
Lord I pray that you
be with Vanilla Haunges.
00:24:52.69\00:24:57.79
Lord, Alberta Netise,
00:24:57.83\00:25:02.00
Charles Laren,
00:25:02.03\00:25:04.33
Karen Randsmith,
00:25:04.37\00:25:06.70
Mary Bell,
00:25:06.74\00:25:08.77
Areen Bash,

Bessie Henry,
00:25:11.71\00:25:13.94
Jane Freeman,
00:25:13.98\00:25:16.51
L.C. McCarthy,
00:25:16.54\00:25:19.45
M.M. Emma Pearl,
00:25:19.48\00:25:22.12
Carolyn Williams,
and Johnnie Malinmore.
00:25:22.15\00:25:26.52
Lord, you know the
situation of each one of these.
00:25:26.55\00:25:30.39
Lord, we pray that you
would be the physician,
00:25:30.43\00:25:34.36
touch them and
grant them healing.
00:25:34.40\00:25:36.97
But most of all Lord,
00:25:37.00\00:25:38.90
let your will be done
00:25:38.93\00:25:40.90
and may we bring glory
and honor to your name.
00:25:40.94\00:25:45.07
We thank you so much
00:25:45.11\00:25:47.01
for hearing and
answering our prayers,
00:25:47.04\00:25:49.74
in Jesus; name, we pray.
00:25:49.78\00:25:51.98
Amen!
00:25:52.01\00:25:53.55
You may return to your seats.
00:25:53.58\00:25:54.92
One again it's time
for us to our teaching,
00:25:59.75\00:26:05.03
to the sacrifice
Christ on our behalf
00:26:05.06\00:26:10.77
and I want to do so
00:26:10.80\00:26:12.23
by diverting your
attention to the gospel
00:26:12.27\00:26:14.17
according to John.
00:26:14.20\00:26:15.54
John the 12th chapter,
00:26:15.57\00:26:19.21
John 12
00:26:19.24\00:26:21.78
and we'll be
reading verses 12-15.
00:26:21.81\00:26:27.18
Following that we'll
be turning to John 19
00:26:27.22\00:26:32.22
and reading verses 13-16.
00:26:32.25\00:26:35.82
1 John 12:12-15,
00:26:35.86\00:26:41.30
then John 19:13-16.
00:26:41.33\00:26:47.44
Here the word of God says,
00:26:52.27\00:26:55.78
"On the next day much people
that would come to the feast,
00:26:55.81\00:27:00.05
when they heard that
Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
00:27:00.08\00:27:04.12
took branches of palm trees
00:27:04.15\00:27:07.26
and went forth to meet Him
00:27:07.29\00:27:10.16
and cried, Hosanna!
00:27:10.19\00:27:14.06
Blessed is the king of Israel
00:27:14.10\00:27:15.96
that cometh in
the name of the Lord.
00:27:16.00\00:27:19.27
And Jesus when he had
found a young ass sat thereon
00:27:19.30\00:27:24.77
as it is written, Fear not,
00:27:24.81\00:27:27.64
daughter of Zion, behold,
00:27:27.68\00:27:30.15
thy king cometh
sitting on an ass's colt."
00:27:30.18\00:27:35.68
Chapter 19
beginning with verse 13,
00:27:35.72\00:27:42.06
"When Pilate
therefore heard that saying,
00:27:42.09\00:27:45.53
he brought Jesus forth,
00:27:45.56\00:27:46.90
and sat down in
the judgment seat
00:27:46.93\00:27:49.16
in a place that is
called the Pavement,
00:27:49.20\00:27:52.63
but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
00:27:52.67\00:27:56.10
And it was the
preparation of the Passover,
00:27:56.14\00:27:59.67
and about the sixth hour,
and he saith unto the Jews,
00:27:59.71\00:28:03.58
Behold your king!
00:28:03.61\00:28:06.25
But they cried out,
00:28:06.28\00:28:08.08
Away with him,
00:28:08.12\00:28:09.55
away with him, crucify him.
00:28:09.58\00:28:12.49
Pilate saith unto them,
shall I crucify your king?
00:28:12.52\00:28:16.42
The chief priests answered,
00:28:16.46\00:28:18.83
we have no king but Caesar.
00:28:18.86\00:28:21.76
Then delivered he him
00:28:21.80\00:28:24.27
therefore unto
them to be crucified.
00:28:24.30\00:28:27.37
And they took
Jesus, and led him away."
00:28:27.40\00:28:33.74
I thought I would
entitle our communion harmony
00:28:33.78\00:28:37.41
for this morning.
00:28:37.45\00:28:39.58
What a difference a day makes.
00:28:39.61\00:28:44.19
This was no ordinary day.
00:28:44.22\00:28:47.59
Its significance
is evident by the fact
00:28:47.62\00:28:51.06
that it was recorded
00:28:51.09\00:28:52.43
by all four
gospel canonical writers.
00:28:52.46\00:28:56.97
Matthew 21:1-11,
00:28:57.00\00:29:00.50
Mark 11:1-11,
00:29:00.54\00:29:04.11
Luke 19:28-44,
00:29:04.14\00:29:08.14
and John 12:12-19.
00:29:08.18\00:29:14.25
Of the 48 events
00:29:14.28\00:29:17.42
that are recorded in scripture
00:29:17.45\00:29:20.96
that occurred
during the Passion Week,
00:29:20.99\00:29:24.16
this one is the first.
00:29:24.19\00:29:26.26
We call it Christ triumphant
00:29:26.29\00:29:29.26
entry into Jerusalem.
00:29:29.30\00:29:33.34
It is of course
also a study in contrast.
00:29:33.37\00:29:37.67
Never before had he desired
to be perceived as a king.
00:29:37.71\00:29:43.71
Never before had he been
so receptive to the applause
00:29:43.75\00:29:49.08
and homage of the people.
00:29:49.12\00:29:51.15
Never before had he demonstrated
00:29:51.19\00:29:55.72
such grandeur and commotion
00:29:55.76\00:29:58.86
when entering one
of the local cities.
00:29:58.89\00:30:02.56
It's Sunday, April the 9th,
00:30:02.60\00:30:06.97
in the year AD31.
00:30:07.00\00:30:10.81
The trees are wearing a
wardrobe of verdis green,
00:30:10.84\00:30:16.01
blossoms seemed to fill
the air with a fragrance
00:30:16.04\00:30:20.58
that cannot be contained.
00:30:20.62\00:30:22.95
It appears that even the sun
00:30:22.98\00:30:26.05
comes down with an extra
canopy of effervescent light.
00:30:26.09\00:30:30.16
Even nature, yes,
00:30:30.19\00:30:31.66
nature seems to say
some things about to happen.
00:30:31.69\00:30:36.06
Jesus sends two of his disciples
00:30:36.10\00:30:40.00
to get him a young colt,
00:30:40.04\00:30:42.04
a colt that is
never being ridden before.
00:30:42.07\00:30:45.04
This strikes the
disciples as strange
00:30:45.07\00:30:47.88
because during
00:30:47.91\00:30:49.24
his three and
half years of ministry,
00:30:49.28\00:30:51.38
he has never ridden anywhere,
00:30:51.41\00:30:53.92
he has walked everywhere.
00:30:53.95\00:30:58.15
Why is the savior
asking for a colt?
00:30:58.19\00:31:02.12
Could, couldn't be
00:31:02.16\00:31:04.43
that he is about to
be coroneted as king.
00:31:04.46\00:31:10.20
You must understand
that some 500 years prior.
00:31:10.23\00:31:14.74
The perfect Zechariah
in, Zechariah 9:9 says,
00:31:14.77\00:31:18.97
"Rejoice greatly,
O daughter of Zion,
00:31:19.01\00:31:21.14
shout, O daughter of Jerusalem,
00:31:21.18\00:31:22.94
behold, thy king
cometh unto thee,
00:31:22.98\00:31:25.78
he is just, and
having salvation,
00:31:25.81\00:31:28.68
lowly, and riding upon an ass,
00:31:28.72\00:31:30.79
and upon a colt
the foal of an ass."
00:31:30.82\00:31:33.42
It was Jewish custom
00:31:33.46\00:31:37.49
for a king to
ride in to his kingdom,
00:31:37.53\00:31:42.53
a top, a donkey.
00:31:42.56\00:31:45.63
Now there was those
00:31:48.70\00:31:50.04
who rode here on top of horse.
00:31:50.07\00:31:52.14
But the difference is this.
00:31:52.17\00:31:55.31
When he took the time to
ride into the city on a donkey,
00:31:55.34\00:32:01.25
it indicated that he
came as a king bringing peace.
00:32:01.28\00:32:07.06
But the horse is
a symbol of warfare,
00:32:07.09\00:32:11.53
and so had he bring
the horse into town,
00:32:11.56\00:32:14.26
he would have been
starring their emotions
00:32:14.30\00:32:17.93
because in that
symbolism that was thought,
00:32:17.97\00:32:20.70
he is coming as a king
to make war on somebody.
00:32:20.74\00:32:26.51
But he chose to
ride in on a donkey.
00:32:26.54\00:32:32.01
It's interesting
that we need to ask,
00:32:32.05\00:32:34.32
that the minds of the
people are somewhat captivated
00:32:37.49\00:32:41.82
by the Lord here.
00:32:41.86\00:32:44.36
In fact EG White in her
book Desire of Ages states
00:32:44.39\00:32:48.93
that there had never
been a greater procession
00:32:48.96\00:32:52.53
on this planet
up unto this point.
00:32:52.57\00:32:56.50
All there is
that had transpired,
00:32:56.54\00:32:59.41
this is the greatest procession
00:32:59.44\00:33:02.54
that had ever taken
place unto this point.
00:33:02.58\00:33:05.75
He was only two
miles outside of Jerusalem
00:33:05.78\00:33:08.92
in a town called Bethany.
00:33:08.95\00:33:12.25
And as he began to ride,
00:33:12.29\00:33:15.02
thousands came up from Bethany.
00:33:15.06\00:33:18.33
Thousands came from Jerusalem.
00:33:18.36\00:33:21.86
And they began to take
their outer garments off
00:33:21.90\00:33:25.67
and lay them on
the ground as he rode.
00:33:25.70\00:33:30.21
Others would take palm branches
and they would clip them,
00:33:30.24\00:33:34.44
and they would wave them,
00:33:34.48\00:33:35.98
and throw the palm
branches down before him.
00:33:36.01\00:33:39.05
It's interesting that
he's riding on a donkey
00:33:39.08\00:33:43.42
which symbolizes peace
00:33:43.45\00:33:45.05
but the waving and
casting of palm branches means
00:33:45.09\00:33:49.02
he had just won
the victory over a war.
00:33:49.06\00:33:51.86
What war had he fought?
00:33:56.10\00:33:59.97
What war had he waged?
00:34:00.00\00:34:04.11
What enemy that he vanquished?
00:34:04.14\00:34:07.04
Why did they use the palm?
00:34:07.08\00:34:09.74
The use of palm,
getting back to 164 B.C,
00:34:09.78\00:34:13.95
when son of Maccabees
00:34:13.98\00:34:16.05
conquered the serial
of Antiochus Epiphanes
00:34:16.08\00:34:20.32
and the people, they're all...
00:34:20.36\00:34:23.19
came out of the
palm trees and waved them
00:34:23.22\00:34:25.46
and so the Jewish
nature from that point forward
00:34:25.49\00:34:28.53
always use the palm tree
00:34:28.56\00:34:31.27
to symbolize victory over enemy.
00:34:31.30\00:34:33.97
The question still looms,
00:34:34.00\00:34:36.30
he is the enemy that
Christ had conquered?
00:34:36.34\00:34:41.54
No war had been fought.
00:34:41.58\00:34:44.18
No blood had been shed
00:34:44.21\00:34:46.95
and yet people
were greeting here
00:34:46.98\00:34:49.48
as they're conquering evil.
00:34:49.52\00:34:53.15
He was surrounded
by thousands of people
00:34:53.19\00:34:58.43
and yet there
were special people
00:34:58.46\00:35:00.33
that were around him.
00:35:00.36\00:35:02.23
Did you remember the man
00:35:02.26\00:35:03.60
that was born
blind from his birth?
00:35:03.63\00:35:05.87
He was there in the crowd.
00:35:05.90\00:35:09.50
You may've heard
the individual whose,
00:35:09.54\00:35:12.81
who He healed there
down town, he was there,
00:35:12.84\00:35:16.44
crying out the loudest...
00:35:16.48\00:35:20.88
Who he told at the
walls outside the city,
00:35:20.92\00:35:24.52
rise, take up your bed and walk,
00:35:24.55\00:35:26.96
he was there.
00:35:26.99\00:35:28.99
To recall the ex-lepers
00:35:29.02\00:35:32.69
who after they
have been healed ran off
00:35:32.73\00:35:35.56
but one have the courtesy
00:35:35.60\00:35:37.83
and the greeting
to come back and say,
00:35:37.87\00:35:39.90
thank you Lord,
thank you for healing me.
00:35:39.93\00:35:42.57
Do you remember that?
00:35:42.60\00:35:43.94
You remember that
00:35:43.97\00:35:45.31
they have been 5,000
folk outside on the hill
00:35:45.34\00:35:49.58
where he threw that big fish
00:35:49.61\00:35:51.38
someone's picked it
and save 5,000 people,
00:35:51.41\00:35:54.48
some of them were in crowd.
00:35:54.52\00:35:57.29
They would come to
witness to the greatness
00:35:57.32\00:36:01.22
and the power of Christ.
00:36:01.26\00:36:03.02
But there was one
person in particular
00:36:03.06\00:36:05.46
who everybody came out to see
00:36:05.49\00:36:07.66
and that individual was Lazarus
00:36:07.70\00:36:09.86
for you see that Lazarus
00:36:09.90\00:36:11.23
had just been raised
from the dead last week.
00:36:11.27\00:36:14.47
It's Mary tells us
00:36:14.50\00:36:16.94
that Lazarus was the one
00:36:16.97\00:36:18.67
who got in his
donkey along the road.
00:36:18.71\00:36:23.85
And so people came out
00:36:23.88\00:36:26.82
to see the dead man walking
00:36:26.85\00:36:29.98
and the dead man riding.
00:36:30.02\00:36:31.55
As they got along
00:36:35.29\00:36:37.69
and the thousands
teamed among themselves,
00:36:37.73\00:36:43.06
the scribes and
the Pharisees came up.
00:36:43.10\00:36:46.53
They came up because they fear
00:36:46.57\00:36:49.14
if they did not
disperse the crowd,
00:36:49.17\00:36:52.17
they were going to
coronate him as the king.
00:36:52.21\00:36:57.15
And so in their
arrogant pomposity,
00:36:57.18\00:37:03.08
they actually went and
told them go back home.
00:37:03.12\00:37:07.62
As if that was
powerful listen to him.
00:37:07.66\00:37:11.63
Do as I say, I'm the priest
00:37:11.66\00:37:16.03
and the law encouraged
the love of the Christ.
00:37:16.06\00:37:22.37
They did not go anywhere
00:37:22.40\00:37:24.67
because the priests
were asking them to do so.
00:37:24.71\00:37:28.68
They try even to get
the Roman soldiers to see,
00:37:28.71\00:37:32.31
you see what
he's doing, don't you?
00:37:32.35\00:37:35.22
He stirred up the power,
00:37:35.25\00:37:36.65
get ready to
take over the empire.
00:37:36.69\00:37:38.72
He's coming after
your piece of the kingdom,
00:37:38.75\00:37:41.59
you better arrest him right now,
00:37:41.62\00:37:43.76
but there was something
about the demeanor of Christ,
00:37:43.79\00:37:47.13
there was a calmness that
emanating from his speaking
00:37:47.16\00:37:50.20
that caused the
Roman soldiers themselves
00:37:50.23\00:37:53.00
to have an experience
00:37:53.03\00:37:54.50
such a pain stink
of that smell here.
00:37:54.54\00:37:58.07
All they knew is that
00:37:58.11\00:38:00.14
they didn't feel
like arresting Jesus.
00:38:00.18\00:38:04.18
The crowd cries up, hosanna,
00:38:04.21\00:38:09.08
hosanna, hosanna,
00:38:09.12\00:38:13.09
hosanna means save us now Lord.
00:38:13.12\00:38:17.93
Then they cried out,
00:38:17.96\00:38:20.00
blessed is he that
comes in the name of the Lord.
00:38:20.03\00:38:25.13
They didn't say a
blessing is the king of Israel
00:38:25.17\00:38:29.04
Ecclesiastes 2,
00:38:29.07\00:38:30.61
acclamations come
from Psalm 118:25 and 26
00:38:30.64\00:38:35.81
come from a moment where
he is called Lord of souls,
00:38:35.84\00:38:38.68
of the sounds of praise.
00:38:38.71\00:38:40.72
It's interesting to me
00:38:40.75\00:38:42.58
that when Jesus
ride people praise.
00:38:42.62\00:38:45.95
Words fail to adequately capture
00:38:49.72\00:38:53.90
the grandeur and majesty
00:38:53.93\00:38:55.66
of this particular
movement in Christ land.
00:38:55.70\00:38:59.27
Understand something,
00:38:59.30\00:39:01.20
he has been ministering
for three and half years,
00:39:01.24\00:39:03.61
but this is the first time
00:39:03.64\00:39:05.81
that he's given
his fair recognition.
00:39:05.84\00:39:09.34
And he's only 33 years old.
00:39:09.38\00:39:13.08
A young man,
00:39:13.11\00:39:16.75
but understand
something that was Sunday.
00:39:16.79\00:39:22.82
John 19
00:39:22.86\00:39:25.46
talks about what
happened on Friday.
00:39:25.49\00:39:29.93
On Friday, how
different the crowd sound,
00:39:29.96\00:39:35.70
on Friday how
different the words,
00:39:35.74\00:39:41.58
on Sunday they
had said, hosanna.
00:39:41.61\00:39:45.61
But on Friday they
said, "Crucify him."
00:39:45.65\00:39:49.18
On Sunday they said,
00:39:49.22\00:39:50.92
blessed is he who comes
00:39:50.95\00:39:52.45
in the name of the Lord,
00:39:52.49\00:39:53.82
but Friday they said
oh, maybe we'll kill him.
00:39:53.86\00:39:56.56
On Sunday they said,
person is the king of Israel,
00:39:56.59\00:40:00.23
but on Friday they said,
we have no king but Caesar.
00:40:00.26\00:40:04.40
On Sunday they
want to coronate him
00:40:04.43\00:40:07.70
but on Friday
they want to kill him.
00:40:07.74\00:40:10.41
On Sunday they
want to follow him,
00:40:10.44\00:40:12.77
but on Friday
00:40:12.81\00:40:14.14
they want to
distance themselves from him.
00:40:14.18\00:40:16.41
On Sunday they
want to worship him,
00:40:16.44\00:40:18.88
but on Friday
they want to whip him.
00:40:18.91\00:40:21.12
On Sunday he's
writing all he asks,
00:40:21.15\00:40:23.69
but on Friday he
is heading on a cross.
00:40:23.72\00:40:27.19
What a difference a day makes.
00:40:27.22\00:40:29.72
We may find the
actions of the Jews,
00:40:35.90\00:40:40.14
someone dichotomous,
00:40:40.17\00:40:43.74
incredulous,
00:40:43.77\00:40:46.17
and reprehensible.
00:40:46.21\00:40:47.54
But think about it beloved,
00:40:50.31\00:40:51.65
they're not too
different from us.
00:40:51.68\00:40:53.01
Amen.
00:40:53.05\00:40:56.89
When he blesses us with the job,
00:40:56.92\00:40:59.59
he's good,
00:40:59.62\00:41:02.39
but when that
same job is taken away,
00:41:02.42\00:41:06.39
he's not.
00:41:06.43\00:41:08.60
When he blesses
us with a good car,
00:41:08.63\00:41:12.03
he's good,
00:41:12.07\00:41:13.40
but when it breaks down at
the mix master at rush hour,
00:41:13.44\00:41:18.97
he's not.
00:41:19.01\00:41:22.21
When he blesses
us with a new home,
00:41:22.24\00:41:25.28
he's good,
00:41:25.31\00:41:27.12
but when that same
home is foreclosed home,
00:41:27.15\00:41:31.09
he's not.
00:41:31.12\00:41:32.95
When we moved around
in the bloom of health,
00:41:32.99\00:41:35.32
he's good,
00:41:35.36\00:41:37.19
but when the doctor
tells us we've got cancer,
00:41:37.23\00:41:40.66
he's not.
00:41:40.70\00:41:42.83
When the Lord allows us to
manage a little of our life
00:41:42.86\00:41:46.74
he's good,
00:41:46.77\00:41:48.44
but when he allows that
same love to be lay to sleep,
00:41:48.47\00:41:52.37
he's not.
00:41:52.41\00:41:54.71
When our kings act like
they got since he's good,
00:41:54.74\00:42:00.28
but when they act like
they've lost importance,
00:42:00.32\00:42:03.52
he's not.
00:42:03.55\00:42:07.19
When we discover
00:42:07.22\00:42:10.03
that God has not
been as good to us
00:42:10.06\00:42:12.69
as we perceive he should be.
00:42:12.73\00:42:15.86
We change and alter
00:42:15.90\00:42:18.23
our behavior
from Sunday to Friday.
00:42:18.27\00:42:22.07
What a difference a day makes.
00:42:25.44\00:42:29.61
Our fatal faith
00:42:29.64\00:42:32.08
seems to only acknowledge him
00:42:32.11\00:42:34.45
when things are
going well for us,
00:42:34.48\00:42:36.75
but the things we
get to challenge us,
00:42:36.79\00:42:39.69
we change our
entire line upon God.
00:42:39.72\00:42:44.46
How would it be if God
00:42:44.49\00:42:46.16
change his entire
line that are on us?
00:42:46.19\00:42:48.63
We don't get it, beloved.
00:42:54.14\00:42:57.21
The veracity and
verity of God's character
00:42:57.24\00:43:01.34
does not depend on
what we think about him
00:43:01.38\00:43:05.68
or what day of the week it is.
00:43:05.71\00:43:08.92
I heard the church saying
God is good at all the time,
00:43:08.95\00:43:12.85
at all the time God is good.
00:43:12.89\00:43:14.79
that means he's good on Sunday.
00:43:14.82\00:43:17.03
He's good on Monday.
00:43:17.06\00:43:18.56
He's good on Tuesday.
00:43:18.59\00:43:20.40
Believe it or not,
he's good on Wednesday,
00:43:20.43\00:43:22.80
good on Thursday,
00:43:22.83\00:43:24.77
Friday, Saturday
00:43:24.80\00:43:26.94
and pack around and say
00:43:26.97\00:43:28.30
God is good all the time,
00:43:28.34\00:43:30.67
but the
fundamental problem is that
00:43:30.71\00:43:32.97
we don't really see
ourselves clearly on Sunday
00:43:33.01\00:43:36.48
so we can't really see
him clearly come Friday.
00:43:36.51\00:43:39.18
Let me explain
what I mean by that.
00:43:42.52\00:43:45.05
Our scripture
in Romans 5:8 says,
00:43:45.09\00:43:47.59
"but God have
commendeth his love toward us,
00:43:47.62\00:43:49.39
in that, what?
00:43:49.42\00:43:51.73
while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us."
00:43:51.76\00:43:56.06
See our problem
is this, look at now,
00:43:56.10\00:43:57.57
I want you to get this.
00:43:57.60\00:43:59.73
Despite our praise,
00:43:59.77\00:44:02.70
despite our
hallelujahs, and hosannas,
00:44:02.74\00:44:06.98
we are still sinners on Sunday.
00:44:07.01\00:44:11.88
On Sunday we're still filthy.
00:44:11.91\00:44:15.15
On Sunday we're still vile.
00:44:15.18\00:44:17.92
On Sunday we're still wretched.
00:44:17.95\00:44:21.16
On Sundays we're still vexed.
00:44:21.19\00:44:23.63
On Sundays
we're still hypocrite.
00:44:23.66\00:44:25.99
On Sunday we're still pathetic.
00:44:26.03\00:44:28.06
On Sunday we're
still prostitutes.
00:44:28.10\00:44:30.23
On Sunday we're still liars.
00:44:30.27\00:44:32.20
On Sunday we're still thieves.
00:44:32.23\00:44:34.40
On Sunday we're still peanut.
00:44:34.44\00:44:36.27
On Sunday we're
still home snatchers.
00:44:36.30\00:44:38.54
On Sunday we're
still pap hearted
00:44:38.57\00:44:40.54
despite the fact that
we'd say praise the Lord.
00:44:40.58\00:44:45.68
We're still sinners on Sunday,
00:44:45.71\00:44:48.92
but because of our own praise,
00:44:48.95\00:44:51.55
we brought it
ourselves to our real condition,
00:44:51.59\00:44:56.29
so that we don't understand,
00:44:56.32\00:44:59.63
that somebody's got to
pay the price come Friday,
00:44:59.66\00:45:04.37
for who we are on Sunday.
00:45:04.40\00:45:07.77
What a difference a day makes.
00:45:07.80\00:45:12.57
When we see our God on Sunday,
00:45:12.61\00:45:15.64
he's riding as
the triumphant king,
00:45:15.68\00:45:19.81
but when we see
our God on Friday,
00:45:19.85\00:45:23.39
he's got emaciated,
00:45:23.42\00:45:28.22
broken, looking
less than kingly.
00:45:28.26\00:45:33.03
And we say it to
ourselves subconsciously,
00:45:33.06\00:45:36.36
I don't want a God like that,
00:45:36.40\00:45:39.23
a weak God, a pitiful God,
00:45:39.27\00:45:43.44
a powerless God,
00:45:43.47\00:45:46.14
and so in our arrogance
00:45:46.17\00:45:50.15
we declare crucify him.
00:45:50.18\00:45:54.78
This is not our king.
00:45:54.82\00:45:56.89
We have no king, but Caesar.
00:45:56.92\00:46:00.82
I like what
00:46:05.36\00:46:09.46
preacher SM Lockridge says,
00:46:09.50\00:46:12.23
I like how he describes Friday.
00:46:12.27\00:46:15.67
He says, it's Friday,
00:46:15.70\00:46:20.08
Jesus is praying,
Peter is sleeping,
00:46:20.11\00:46:24.68
Judas is betraying,
00:46:24.71\00:46:26.85
Paul is struggling, it's Friday.
00:46:26.88\00:46:29.95
The Sanhedrin is conspiring.
00:46:29.98\00:46:32.99
The power is complying.
00:46:33.02\00:46:34.96
The disciples are running.
00:46:34.99\00:46:37.13
Mary is weeping.
00:46:37.16\00:46:38.76
Peter is denying,
00:46:38.79\00:46:40.53
it's Friday, the Romans army,
00:46:40.56\00:46:43.67
they're also crying.
00:46:43.70\00:46:45.90
Jesus is bleeding,
his blood is dripping.
00:46:45.93\00:46:49.50
He's also looking
00:46:49.54\00:46:51.57
but he's also
struggling, it's Friday.
00:46:51.61\00:46:54.28
His spirit is breaking,
00:46:54.31\00:46:56.68
the power is
winning and evil is winning.
00:46:56.71\00:47:00.38
The soldiers are hailing
00:47:00.42\00:47:02.25
and the savior is
hurting, it's Friday.
00:47:02.28\00:47:05.42
The same day he is tiring.
00:47:05.45\00:47:07.89
The disciples are questioning.
00:47:07.92\00:47:10.09
The Pharisees are celebrating.
00:47:10.13\00:47:12.19
The earth is trembling.
00:47:12.23\00:47:13.83
The skies are darkening,
and Satan is laughing.
00:47:13.86\00:47:17.40
Why?
00:47:17.43\00:47:18.77
Because it's Friday.
00:47:18.80\00:47:22.04
But hey, hey,
00:47:22.07\00:47:26.11
hey somebody it's Friday,
00:47:26.14\00:47:30.41
but something is coming.
00:47:30.45\00:47:32.81
There is something more.
00:47:32.85\00:47:36.22
God calls him,
angels are talking
00:47:36.25\00:47:39.32
and tells him,
00:47:39.35\00:47:40.69
you need to come out of
that whipped by self honesty,
00:47:40.72\00:47:43.63
tells Jesus to get up
00:47:43.66\00:47:45.99
'cause his daddy
wants him to come to home,
00:47:46.03\00:47:48.56
something probably don't
tell us the son jumps up.
00:47:48.60\00:47:51.93
Jesus sits up.
00:47:51.97\00:47:53.94
Then he stands up.
00:47:53.97\00:47:55.70
Then he wakes up.
00:47:55.74\00:47:57.34
Then he walks up.
00:47:57.37\00:47:59.07
Then he speaks up,
00:47:59.11\00:48:00.71
that's all power, all power.
00:48:00.74\00:48:04.61
All power given unto
me in heaven and in earth.
00:48:04.65\00:48:09.08
So tell step up
00:48:09.12\00:48:11.65
or step off.
00:48:11.69\00:48:14.26
What a difference a day makes.
00:48:14.29\00:48:18.56
We may have false delusions
00:48:21.60\00:48:25.23
about our true condition
00:48:25.27\00:48:28.00
on Sunday
00:48:28.04\00:48:30.84
causing us not to appreciate
00:48:30.87\00:48:32.64
the savior on Friday,
00:48:32.67\00:48:35.64
but know that no
one has taken his body.
00:48:35.68\00:48:38.15
What goes around
00:48:38.18\00:48:40.08
Sunday is coming
back around here,
00:48:40.12\00:48:43.12
that's where you
are this last Sunday.
00:48:43.15\00:48:46.05
Lets not focus on last Sunday,
00:48:46.09\00:48:48.66
but our next Sunday.
00:48:48.69\00:48:50.73
When he comes forth King
or kings and Lord of all,
00:48:50.76\00:48:57.00
the Bible teaches us
00:48:57.03\00:49:00.34
that as often as
we eat this bread,
00:49:00.37\00:49:04.21
and drink this coffee
00:49:04.24\00:49:06.78
we do show the Lord's
blessing until he comes.
00:49:06.81\00:49:12.95
It's our
privilege now to remember
00:49:12.98\00:49:16.32
his great sacrifice once again,
00:49:16.35\00:49:20.72
as we enter into
our communion service.
00:49:20.76\00:49:25.09
And so at this time
00:49:25.13\00:49:27.40
we'd want to separate
00:49:27.43\00:49:28.76
for the ordnance of foot washing
00:49:28.80\00:49:31.73
and return together
00:49:31.77\00:49:34.14
so that we may sit
at the table together.
00:49:34.17\00:49:38.31
We hold it open
communion that is to say,
00:49:38.34\00:49:42.74
you don't have to be
a member of this church,
00:49:42.78\00:49:45.75
but you have to know Jesus,
00:49:45.78\00:49:48.15
you got to accept him
00:49:48.18\00:49:49.68
as your personal Lord and Savior
00:49:49.72\00:49:51.75
to participate in
this ordinance with us.
00:49:51.79\00:49:54.32
