00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.300
 Well, this morning I get the privilege to preach, and the subject is beautiful.

00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:17.719
! I get to preach about the triumphal entry of Jesus our King, Palm Sunday.

00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:22.620
 We have heard already, and we'll read it again, believe it or not, in the New Testament.

00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:27.539
 We've heard already the story, the New Testament story out of the book of Matthew

00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:31.960
 of the entrance of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem as a King,

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:40.899
 announcing Himself to the Jewish nation as the King, acknowledging that He is the Messiah.

00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.099
 But this morning, we're going to actually have a text out of the Old Testament.

00:00:45.539 --> 00:00:48.079
 I'll be preaching out of the book of Zechariah.

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:54.000
 This morning, in one verse, is going to be the focus of our time this morning.

00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:55.420
 We'll look at the context.

00:00:55.420 --> 00:01:00.679
 Next, I'll talk about that, but predominantly, we're going to look at the one verse in Zechariah 9.

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:07.420
 And if you don't know where that's located, if you go to the Matthew and you go backwards two books,

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:08.659
 you'll be at Zechariah.

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.120
 So I would ask, if you will, to open a Bible.

00:01:12.260 --> 00:01:15.939
 If you don't have your own, there's Bibles in the seat back in front of you

00:01:15.939 --> 00:01:17.760
 or in the tray underneath the seat.

00:01:18.140 --> 00:01:20.640
 We'd encourage you to open the Scriptures this morning.

00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:22.820
 We will look at more than just the one verse.

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:24.960
 It would be good to be able to glance at that.

00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.479
 So if you're physically able to stand,

00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:33.419
 I would ask you to stand in honor of the reading of God's Word this morning out of Zechariah 9.

00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:34.420
 Let's pray one more time.

00:01:34.420 --> 00:02:04.400
 Let's pray one more time.

00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:07.340
 God, would you make this truth come alive.

00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:15.340
 Would you move us to rejoicing that, Father, we too this morning would sing of your great mercies that you've given to us.

00:02:15.500 --> 00:02:16.759
 And I pray in your name.

00:02:16.979 --> 00:02:17.240
 Amen.

00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:19.000
 Y'all can have a seat.

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.379
 Well, I've said this before and I'll say it again.

00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:29.379
 It's not right to cherry pick one verse out of a book in the Old Testament from a prophet

00:02:29.379 --> 00:02:35.180
 and not paint the picture of the context that we're reading it from.

00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:44.340
 So I want to take a couple of minutes and talk about the time frame of this message that was given by God

00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:52.360
 through the prophet Zechariah to the people of God that lived roughly 500 years before Christ was born.

00:02:52.360 --> 00:03:01.160
 So if you will think about the history of the Jewish nation,

00:03:01.160 --> 00:03:05.940
 you would remember that they were gifted by God the promised land.

00:03:06.140 --> 00:03:09.040
 And because of unfaithfulness, they were conquered.

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:12.200
 The northern tribe was conquered by the Assyrian kingdom

00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:17.060
 and they were distributed never to be seen again as a gathering of people.

00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:21.340
 They were taken and splashed around the kingdom of the Assyrian empire.

00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:27.500
 And then in 586 BC, Nebuchadnezzar came and destroyed the southern kingdom

00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:31.640
 and deported most of the people to Babylon.

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.819
 He left some, but most of them were deported to Babylon

00:03:36.819 --> 00:03:42.319
 and they were there for 70 years until the time of Cyrus, the Persian king.

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.879
 So the Babylonian kingdom was destroyed by the Medo-Persian empire.

00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:52.280
 And when Cyrus was made king, he declared to the Jewish people

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.400
 that they were free to go back to Israel.

00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:02.879
 And a small remnant of the nation of Israel chose to go back.

00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.099
 It was roughly 50,000 that made the long journey back to Israel.

00:04:08.099 --> 00:04:17.199
 And they were intending to rebuild the temple and they started to do that.

00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:21.019
 But because of the fear of the people around them, they stopped.

00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:28.540
 Until Zerubbabel was moved by God to do that, to begin to rebuild the temple.

00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:33.579
 And that is the time we find ourselves in the life of the nation of Israel.

00:04:33.579 --> 00:04:36.159
 God raised up two prophets.

00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:38.279
 One of those prophets was Zechariah.

00:04:38.699 --> 00:04:42.620
 And Zechariah is speaking to the people during that time frame

00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:46.579
 when they're small in number in Israel

00:04:46.579 --> 00:04:51.919
 and they've got all the people around them that do not want them to rebuild that nation.

00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:54.339
 They do not want them to rebuild the temple.

00:04:54.719 --> 00:04:56.360
 And so Zechariah prophesies.

00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:04.580
 The first eight chapters in the book of Zechariah is his prophecy to the people of that time.

00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:07.199
 It was meant for them in that time frame.

00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:11.180
 And then in chapter 9, there's a transition.

00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.680
 You see the first verse of chapter 9.

00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:15.020
 It says,

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:20.759
 The oracle of the word of the Lord.

00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:26.039
 This is a transition that from chapter 9 to the rest of the book,

00:05:26.779 --> 00:05:29.839
 Zechariah is prophesying about the future.

00:05:31.159 --> 00:05:34.959
 He's prophesying about what will come to pass

00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.439
 after all of these people have passed away.

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:45.659
 And it's real interesting, this text in chapter 9, what he's prophesying.

00:05:45.660 --> 00:05:50.580
 He's talking about in chapter 9 verses 1 through 8,

00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:52.939
 he's talking about a king.

00:05:54.060 --> 00:05:58.540
 And this king is a great conquering king and he's on conquest.

00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:02.940
 And as you study the book of Zechariah,

00:06:03.020 --> 00:06:06.420
 you will learn that he's talking about Alexander the Great.

00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:10.200
 If you were to follow the exploits of Alexander the Great

00:06:10.200 --> 00:06:15.280
 and you see the path that he took along the Mediterranean in this area,

00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:19.260
 that he came from the northeast and he came down toward Tyre.

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.939
 And if you look, if you were to read this and study it,

00:06:22.980 --> 00:06:24.640
 it talks about Tyre and Zidon.

00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:28.900
 It talks about Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron.

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.940
 These are cities that are along the Mediterranean.

00:06:32.940 --> 00:06:36.300
 It also talks about, in verse 8,

00:06:36.460 --> 00:06:39.840
 it talks about Alexander the Great coming to Jerusalem.

00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:47.639
 And it's a fabulous story to chase and see how God protected them from Alexander the Great.

00:06:47.719 --> 00:06:51.599
 These other cities were destroyed and yet Jerusalem was preserved.

00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:55.019
 And we see the prophecy of that truth here.

00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:56.479
 It's fascinating.

00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:02.439
 And then in verse 9, we see a change.

00:07:02.559 --> 00:07:06.639
 So you have Alexander the Great, the conquering king on conquest.

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:12.360
 We see here a message that there's another king and another conquest.

00:07:14.740 --> 00:07:16.879
 And so we read about this king.

00:07:16.979 --> 00:07:19.479
 And if we read on through the rest of the chapter,

00:07:19.659 --> 00:07:23.500
 not only do we get to know about him in verse 9,

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.899
 which is where we will spend our time here in a few minutes,

00:07:26.899 --> 00:07:28.680
 we get to know about him,

00:07:28.740 --> 00:07:34.459
 but we also get to know what he did or what he's prophesied that he will do.

00:07:34.459 --> 00:07:40.339
 This is a prophecy that was given in roughly 500 B.C.,

00:07:40.339 --> 00:07:44.199
 specifically 520 B.C. is what we believe.

00:07:46.060 --> 00:07:49.279
 And it talks about, if you look quickly at verse 10

00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.419
 and following the rest of the chapter,

00:07:51.579 --> 00:07:54.679
 you're going to see something very interesting about this king.

00:07:56.699 --> 00:07:58.399
 And it's God speaking,

00:07:58.539 --> 00:08:01.919
 I will cut off chariot and war horse and battle bow.

00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:06.740
 I will cut him off from my nation.

00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:12.060
 And I shall speak peace, or he shall, that is this coming king,

00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.080
 will speak peace to the nations.

00:08:14.280 --> 00:08:14.780
 Interesting.

00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.220
 That this is a king who's coming with peace.

00:08:20.139 --> 00:08:21.900
 And if you keep looking,

00:08:22.340 --> 00:08:24.780
 there's something in verse 11 about a covenant.

00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:28.400
 A covenant associated with blood.

00:08:29.540 --> 00:08:30.020
 Interesting.

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:30.080
 Interesting.

00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.579
 He says,

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.639
 because of the blood of my covenant with you,

00:08:36.740 --> 00:08:40.179
 I will set the prisoners free from the waterless pit.

00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:40.799
 Interesting.

00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.679
 This king is doing something different than Alexander the Great.

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:50.439
 This conquest is much different than what Alexander the Great did.

00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.059
 He destroyed.

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.460
 Yet this king seems to be bringing peace.

00:08:55.460 --> 00:08:58.900
 He seems to be bringing something different,

00:08:59.019 --> 00:09:00.800
 setting prisoners free.

00:09:01.420 --> 00:09:04.860
 In verse 12, there's hope that's talked about.

00:09:05.860 --> 00:09:09.960
 He talks about in 13 that he's going to use his people

00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.740
 as if they were a bow and an arrow.

00:09:12.740 --> 00:09:19.419
 He talks about the Ephraim in the area of land above Jerusalem.

00:09:19.419 --> 00:09:25.100
 He talks about Judah.

00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:27.340
 So the Judah being the southern portion.

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.379
 He talks about using them as a bow and arrow as a weapon.

00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:34.080
 He's using his people as a weapon.

00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.639
 What type of weapon is he talking about?

00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:38.940
 We want to look at that.

00:09:40.540 --> 00:09:46.620
 We see that in verse 15 that there is going to be bloodshed.

00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:49.159
 But it's different.

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:54.419
 There's a message here that is difficult perhaps to understand.

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.779
 As we read this, it's like, all right, who is this king?

00:09:59.259 --> 00:10:01.820
 Now, some of you may never have read

00:10:01.820 --> 00:10:04.820
 or at least never have studied the book of Zechariah.

00:10:05.419 --> 00:10:08.779
 And you might wonder, who is it talking about?

00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.480
 Though I've never studied the book, there is a ring in my ear.

00:10:13.560 --> 00:10:15.080
 I've heard this somewhere before.

00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.280
 Well, we've heard it because we read it this morning

00:10:18.280 --> 00:10:21.500
 in one passage in Matthew.

00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:22.840
 And I want to read it again.

00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:28.400
 And I want you to listen to who the New Testament says

00:10:28.400 --> 00:10:30.100
 this king actually is.

00:10:31.060 --> 00:10:33.420
 So we read the Old Testament prophecy

00:10:33.420 --> 00:10:35.379
 and we wonder, who is this?

00:10:35.940 --> 00:10:37.639
 And then we come to the New Testament

00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.280
 and it answers the question for us.

00:10:40.540 --> 00:10:43.920
 No longer do we have to wonder who that king is

00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.620
 out of Zechariah chapter 9

00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:50.299
 because Matthew and Mark and Luke and John,

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:52.139
 they tell us exactly who this king is.

00:10:52.459 --> 00:10:54.519
 Specifically, there's two places

00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.399
 verse 9 is quoted in the New Testament.

00:10:57.719 --> 00:10:58.759
 First is in Matthew.

00:10:58.959 --> 00:11:02.419
 Listen again to what was read earlier this morning.

00:11:02.419 --> 00:11:05.659
 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem

00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:07.139
 and came to Bethpage,

00:11:07.839 --> 00:11:09.279
 we all pronounce that word different.

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.360
 I don't know how it's really pronounced,

00:11:10.539 --> 00:11:12.099
 but that's the way I'll say it.

00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.240
 To Bethpage, to the Mount of Olives.

00:11:14.339 --> 00:11:16.339
 And Jesus sent two disciples saying to them,

00:11:16.539 --> 00:11:18.319
 go into the village in front of you

00:11:18.319 --> 00:11:21.299
 and immediately you'll find a donkey tied in a colt with her.

00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:23.399
 Untie them and bring them to me.

00:11:23.479 --> 00:11:25.719
 If anyone says anything to you,

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.319
 you shall say the Lord needs them

00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:30.760
 and he will send them at once.

00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:33.440
 This took place to fulfill.

00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:34.740
 I will stop there.

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:40.879
 To fulfill what was spoken by the prophet.

00:11:41.020 --> 00:11:41.620
 Which prophet?

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:42.500
 Zechariah.

00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.260
 Zechariah said there's a king coming

00:11:46.260 --> 00:11:48.020
 and Matthew just said,

00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:49.340
 here's when it happened.

00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:54.320
 This is the moment that was spoken of by Zechariah.

00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:57.720
 This is the fulfillment of the promise

00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.180
 that he gave about this coming king.

00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:04.640
 And notice what it says about this king.

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:07.460
 Say to the daughter of Zion.

00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.820
 Zion is a term that refers to the people of God.

00:12:12.400 --> 00:12:15.160
 In essence, say to the people of God,

00:12:15.780 --> 00:12:17.340
 behold your king.

00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:21.180
 Now you know, and we've talked about this,

00:12:21.179 --> 00:12:25.120
 that the people were expecting an earthly king

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.500
 to have an earthly reign and an earthly ministry.

00:12:29.319 --> 00:12:32.679
 So they would hear this in Zechariah

00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.539
 and they had an expectation

00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:37.039
 that there was going to be conquering.

00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.259
 And there was, but not in the way they thought.

00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.219
 Behold, your king is coming to you.

00:12:43.479 --> 00:12:44.599
 He is humble.

00:12:46.839 --> 00:12:49.319
 And he's mounted on a donkey on a colt,

00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:51.120
 the foal of a beast of burden.

00:12:51.819 --> 00:12:55.799
 That is the prophecy of Zechariah 9.

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:59.639
 And there's no question who's being spoken of here.

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:02.259
 Because we read right below it

00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:05.919
 and it tells us that this is talking about Jesus.

00:13:07.539 --> 00:13:09.419
 And so we look, the disciples went and did

00:13:09.419 --> 00:13:10.599
 as Jesus had directed.

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.639
 They brought the donkey and the colt

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.259
 and put on them their cloaks and he sat on them.

00:13:15.939 --> 00:13:18.620
 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road

00:13:18.620 --> 00:13:20.460
 and others cut branches from the trees

00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:21.759
 and spread them on the road.

00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:23.919
 And the crowds that went before him

00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:25.940
 and those that followed him were shouting,

00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:29.779
 Hosanna to the son of David.

00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.580
 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:35.139
 And the whole city was stirred saying,

00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:36.320
 Who is this?

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:37.500
 And they said,

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:39.720
 This is the prophet Jesus.

00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:42.980
 How clear could it be?

00:13:43.940 --> 00:13:45.640
 How much clearer could it be

00:13:45.640 --> 00:13:49.080
 to know that Zechariah is talking about Jesus?

00:13:49.780 --> 00:13:51.180
 Let's see what John says.

00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:53.040
 I won't read all of it.

00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:54.120
 I'll read a little bit of it.

00:13:54.540 --> 00:13:55.940
 Listen to the book of John

00:13:55.940 --> 00:13:58.560
 talking about the same event.

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.760
 The next day,

00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.980
 the large crowd that had come to the feast

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:06.380
 heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:08.820
 So they took branches of palm trees

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:10.440
 and went out to meet him crying,

00:14:10.800 --> 00:14:11.320
 Hosanna.

00:14:12.180 --> 00:14:14.640
 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,

00:14:14.940 --> 00:14:17.200
 even the King of Israel.

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:18.880
 Even then,

00:14:19.220 --> 00:14:21.840
 they're acknowledging that he's the King of Israel.

00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.880
 Well, if you were a Jew,

00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.379
 you would understand what that meant.

00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:27.980
 That meant that he's the Messiah.

00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:33.759
 And Jesus found a young donkey

00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:34.539
 and sat on it,

00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:35.279
 just as it was written,

00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:36.799
 Fear not, daughter of Zion.

00:14:36.939 --> 00:14:39.039
 Behold, your King is coming,

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:42.799
 sitting on a donkey's colt.

00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:45.620
 And I could read more there about that process.

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:47.279
 But I want you to hear this.

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.879
 There is absolutely no question

00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.799
 who Zechariah is referring to

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.659
 as we look at this Old Testament prophecy.

00:14:56.179 --> 00:14:56.699
 He says,

00:14:57.479 --> 00:14:58.500
 there's coming a day,

00:14:58.559 --> 00:14:59.659
 he doesn't tell how many years,

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:00.579
 but there's coming a day.

00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.359
 We know that it was roughly 500 plus years.

00:15:03.959 --> 00:15:06.979
 And Jesus came as that King.

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:09.039
 Well, this morning,

00:15:09.179 --> 00:15:12.240
 I want us to focus the rest of our time

00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:13.679
 on verse 9.

00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:15.479
 And there's five points

00:15:15.479 --> 00:15:17.199
 I want you to see this morning

00:15:17.199 --> 00:15:19.019
 out of verse 9.

00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:19.959
 Five points.

00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:21.759
 And the first is this.

00:15:21.940 --> 00:15:23.220
 If you'll look at verse 9.

00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:25.340
 Rejoice greatly.

00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.180
 Rejoice greatly.

00:15:29.220 --> 00:15:33.660
 This is a time for incredible rejoicing.

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:34.860
 Why?

00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:38.740
 Why is it a time for rejoicing?

00:15:39.340 --> 00:15:41.800
 Because your King is coming.

00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.299
 And notice,

00:15:43.419 --> 00:15:44.279
 I want you to notice

00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:46.740
 that he specifically talks

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:49.359
 about two terms

00:15:49.359 --> 00:15:50.799
 or a group of people

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.439
 that would be included

00:15:52.439 --> 00:15:53.620
 by these phrases,

00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:55.259
 O daughter of Zion,

00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:57.699
 O daughter of Jerusalem.

00:15:58.059 --> 00:16:00.819
 He's saying to these people,

00:16:01.479 --> 00:16:02.919
 whoever that refers to,

00:16:02.959 --> 00:16:03.799
 he's saying to them,

00:16:04.339 --> 00:16:07.199
 this is a time for rejoicing.

00:16:07.979 --> 00:16:10.019
 Well, if we look back

00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:11.480
 at the New Testament text

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.799
 and we look at the actual event

00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:14.980
 when this was fulfilled,

00:16:15.079 --> 00:16:15.799
 what do we see?

00:16:16.299 --> 00:16:18.179
 Do we see a time of rejoicing?

00:16:19.740 --> 00:16:20.919
 Amazing rejoicing.

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:22.860
 They're shouting,

00:16:23.199 --> 00:16:23.799
 Hosanna.

00:16:24.220 --> 00:16:24.299
 They're,

00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:24.779
 they're,

00:16:24.899 --> 00:16:25.759
 hallelujah.

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:26.779
 They're,

00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:27.100
 they're,

00:16:27.199 --> 00:16:27.579
 I mean,

00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:29.319
 they're so honoring him

00:16:29.319 --> 00:16:31.019
 that they're taking their cloaks,

00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:31.699
 their clothing,

00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:32.899
 and they're putting it on the ground

00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:35.579
 so that not even his donkey gets dirty.

00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.259
 So that they honor him as a king.

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:39.319
 It's just a way to,

00:16:39.319 --> 00:16:39.899
 to,

00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:44.340
 to honor the triumphal king

00:16:44.340 --> 00:16:46.159
 as he comes into the city

00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:47.299
 and proclaim,

00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:48.819
 you are the Messiah.

00:16:49.299 --> 00:16:51.379
 We see incredible rejoicing

00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:52.360
 and that's,

00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:53.960
 there's call for rejoicing.

00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:56.899
 But remember how I said that

00:16:56.899 --> 00:16:59.559
 they were thinking one thing.

00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:02.580
 As we walk through this,

00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:03.419
 we're going to see

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:04.559
 that what they were thinking

00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:06.339
 was not what was intended

00:17:06.339 --> 00:17:07.459
 by the passage.

00:17:08.199 --> 00:17:08.939
 We're going to see

00:17:08.939 --> 00:17:10.419
 that the conquering,

00:17:10.539 --> 00:17:11.759
 this conquering king

00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:13.399
 is conquering something

00:17:13.399 --> 00:17:14.299
 much different

00:17:14.299 --> 00:17:15.819
 than Alexander the Great conquered.

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:17.419
 And we'll look at that

00:17:17.419 --> 00:17:18.299
 as we go along.

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:20.259
 Rejoice greatly.

00:17:20.419 --> 00:17:22.079
 This is a time to shout

00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:23.159
 and to rejoice

00:17:23.159 --> 00:17:24.419
 and to be thankful

00:17:24.419 --> 00:17:25.519
 and to celebrate.

00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:26.659
 You know,

00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:27.879
 that would be true

00:17:27.879 --> 00:17:30.500
 back in those days

00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:32.679
 when the men went to war,

00:17:32.779 --> 00:17:33.740
 went off to war,

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:37.019
 and they fought

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:39.519
 and after the battle,

00:17:39.620 --> 00:17:40.900
 if they won the battle,

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:41.680
 what would they do?

00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:43.120
 They would take the spoils

00:17:43.120 --> 00:17:45.160
 and they would take them

00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:45.960
 into the town.

00:17:46.059 --> 00:17:46.920
 And so when,

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:47.880
 when it's all done

00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:48.720
 and all the people

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.759
 that are still back at town,

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:51.779
 when the army comes back in,

00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:52.839
 they ride in

00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:54.400
 with great procession.

00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:56.960
 And there's incredible rejoicing.

00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:58.120
 The excitement

00:17:58.120 --> 00:17:59.980
 that our men are back,

00:18:00.380 --> 00:18:02.160
 that they were not defeated,

00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.440
 that we weren't defeated,

00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:04.500
 that we're safe,

00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:06.720
 and all the spoils of war

00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:07.779
 that come along with it,

00:18:07.840 --> 00:18:09.000
 it is a time of,

00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:10.980
 of incredible rejoicing

00:18:10.980 --> 00:18:11.759
 and thankfulness.

00:18:12.380 --> 00:18:14.680
 And so we see that mirrored here,

00:18:14.800 --> 00:18:15.779
 this entrance,

00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:16.519
 we call it

00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:17.980
 the triumphal entrance,

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:18.380
 right?

00:18:19.100 --> 00:18:20.800
 The triumphal entrance

00:18:20.800 --> 00:18:21.779
 of a king.

00:18:22.660 --> 00:18:23.700
 And this king,

00:18:23.900 --> 00:18:24.300
 Jesus,

00:18:24.560 --> 00:18:25.820
 has defeated.

00:18:26.540 --> 00:18:28.019
 And we will see that here

00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:28.800
 in just a second

00:18:28.800 --> 00:18:29.700
 as we talk about that.

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.940
 He is coming into Jerusalem,

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:34.559
 he's letting the world know,

00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:36.259
 he's announcing

00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:37.500
 that he is the king,

00:18:37.840 --> 00:18:39.700
 he is the long-awaited king.

00:18:39.820 --> 00:18:40.400
 You know that

00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:41.820
 the nation of Israel

00:18:41.820 --> 00:18:42.799
 has been waiting

00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:43.640
 and waiting

00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:44.799
 and waiting

00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:45.980
 and waiting.

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:48.900
 As a seven-year-old kid,

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:49.299
 do you remember

00:18:49.299 --> 00:18:50.299
 waiting for Christmas?

00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:53.700
 As a guy who works,

00:18:53.820 --> 00:18:54.759
 you know,

00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:55.500
 in the marketplace

00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:56.960
 and you think

00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:57.820
 December's coming,

00:18:57.900 --> 00:18:58.799
 I sure hope my bonus

00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.600
 is big this year.

00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:00.660
 And you wait all year,

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:01.340
 you work hard,

00:19:01.420 --> 00:19:02.380
 looking forward to that.

00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:04.880
 Many things we wait for,

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:06.240
 nothing like this.

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.220
 For hundreds of years,

00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:09.920
 they've been waiting for this.

00:19:10.040 --> 00:19:11.160
 We would know

00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:12.200
 that

00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:14.460
 God has said,

00:19:14.540 --> 00:19:15.580
 even as far back

00:19:15.580 --> 00:19:17.380
 as Genesis chapter 3,

00:19:17.380 --> 00:19:18.900
 that I will send

00:19:18.900 --> 00:19:19.860
 a snake crusher.

00:19:19.859 --> 00:19:24.259
 that gives us a little clue

00:19:24.259 --> 00:19:26.299
 into what this king

00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:27.740
 is coming to conquer.

00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:30.159
 But the word says here,

00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:30.859
 behold,

00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:33.439
 your king is coming to you,

00:19:33.459 --> 00:19:35.339
 this long-awaited king.

00:19:35.579 --> 00:19:36.759
 We think of Genesis.

00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:38.619
 We think of what he said to David.

00:19:38.699 --> 00:19:40.139
 You remember the covenant

00:19:40.139 --> 00:19:41.099
 he made with David?

00:19:41.099 --> 00:19:41.539
 He said,

00:19:41.719 --> 00:19:44.059
 you will always have

00:19:44.059 --> 00:19:45.519
 on the throne

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.599
 a king from your line.

00:19:47.740 --> 00:19:48.839
 You know who he was talking about,

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:49.079
 right?

00:19:49.659 --> 00:19:50.720
 He was talking about Jesus.

00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.579
 This king is in the line of David.

00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.339
 This king is the one

00:19:56.339 --> 00:19:57.559
 that's from the Lord.

00:19:57.980 --> 00:20:01.019
 This is the long-promised king.

00:20:01.099 --> 00:20:01.799
 He has come.

00:20:05.679 --> 00:20:05.980
 And

00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:09.139
 where else would we see this

00:20:09.139 --> 00:20:10.000
 in Scripture?

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:10.500
 You know,

00:20:10.679 --> 00:20:13.039
 so many places

00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:14.099
 in the Old Testament

00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:15.759
 point us forward

00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:17.480
 to what God is doing.

00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:20.039
 And what is he doing it for?

00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:22.039
 It's his redemptive plan.

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:25.059
 This king is not coming

00:20:25.059 --> 00:20:26.900
 to fight a physical battle,

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:29.000
 to win a physical war,

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:30.859
 to set up a physical kingdom.

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:33.740
 This king is coming

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:35.440
 for a different purpose.

00:20:35.740 --> 00:20:36.579
 He's coming

00:20:36.579 --> 00:20:38.019
 as a redeemer.

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:39.759
 He's accomplishing

00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:41.940
 the redemptive plan

00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:42.819
 of God.

00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:46.839
 And if

00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:47.980
 we look

00:20:47.980 --> 00:20:48.980
 at another

00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:49.960
 very familiar

00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:51.139
 passage to us,

00:20:51.939 --> 00:20:53.059
 we would recognize

00:20:53.059 --> 00:20:54.019
 this quickly

00:20:54.019 --> 00:20:55.279
 that it's talking

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.179
 about Jesus.

00:20:56.379 --> 00:20:57.279
 We talk about this

00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:57.759
 at Christmas

00:20:57.759 --> 00:20:59.019
 a lot.

00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:00.460
 So listen to what

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:01.619
 Isaiah says

00:21:01.619 --> 00:21:02.839
 about what God

00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:03.399
 is going to do,

00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:04.859
 who he's going to send.

00:21:05.619 --> 00:21:06.539
 Isaiah says this,

00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:07.500
 for unto us

00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:08.579
 a child is born,

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:10.119
 to us a son

00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:10.799
 is given,

00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:12.299
 and the government,

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:14.240
 I'll stop there,

00:21:14.619 --> 00:21:15.279
 the kingdom,

00:21:16.899 --> 00:21:18.220
 the government

00:21:18.220 --> 00:21:19.440
 shall be upon

00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:20.099
 his shoulder

00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:21.159
 and his name

00:21:21.159 --> 00:21:21.779
 will be called

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:23.180
 Wonderful Counselor,

00:21:23.339 --> 00:21:24.240
 Mighty God,

00:21:24.779 --> 00:21:25.879
 Everlasting Father,

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:26.899
 Prince of Peace.

00:21:27.159 --> 00:21:28.379
 Of the increase

00:21:28.379 --> 00:21:29.319
 of his government

00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:30.240
 and of peace

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:31.519
 there will be no end.

00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:34.079
 You see why

00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:34.859
 they thought

00:21:34.859 --> 00:21:35.440
 it might be

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:36.379
 a physical kingdom?

00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:37.899
 It's talking

00:21:37.899 --> 00:21:38.740
 about government.

00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:40.099
 But you remember

00:21:40.099 --> 00:21:40.839
 what Christ said

00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:41.539
 about his kingdom?

00:21:42.420 --> 00:21:42.879
 He said,

00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:43.599
 my kingdom

00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:44.819
 is not of this world.

00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:47.139
 If my kingdom

00:21:47.139 --> 00:21:48.139
 were of this world,

00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:49.000
 my servants

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:49.639
 would fight,

00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:50.379
 but my kingdom

00:21:50.379 --> 00:21:51.460
 is not of this world.

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:53.099
 Okay, Jesus,

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:54.480
 what is your kingdom?

00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:55.899
 His kingdom

00:21:55.899 --> 00:21:57.579
 is a heavenly kingdom.

00:21:58.159 --> 00:21:59.279
 And in his kingdom,

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:00.599
 all the people

00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:01.240
 that are part

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:01.839
 of his kingdom

00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:03.839
 will be redeemed.

00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:05.440
 They will be

00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.340
 made right with God.

00:22:07.580 --> 00:22:10.039
 This is a spiritual conquest.

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:11.920
 So we're looking at

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.100
 the message of Zachariah

00:22:14.100 --> 00:22:15.039
 and he talks about

00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:16.240
 a physical conquest

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:17.380
 of Alexander the Great,

00:22:17.600 --> 00:22:18.460
 but he talks about

00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:19.720
 a spiritual conquest

00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:21.320
 with this far greater

00:22:21.320 --> 00:22:22.779
 than anything

00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:24.500
 Alexander's ever accomplished.

00:22:24.500 --> 00:22:26.019
 Because the result

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:27.180
 of this conquest

00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:28.460
 is hearts

00:22:28.460 --> 00:22:29.779
 that are yielded to God.

00:22:30.380 --> 00:22:31.360
 The results

00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:32.599
 of this conquest

00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:33.799
 is people

00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:34.699
 that are redeemed

00:22:34.699 --> 00:22:35.399
 and purchased

00:22:35.399 --> 00:22:36.899
 and given new hearts

00:22:36.899 --> 00:22:37.679
 and made right

00:22:37.679 --> 00:22:38.659
 and in relationship

00:22:38.659 --> 00:22:40.019
 with Almighty God.

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:41.219
 They have a hope

00:22:41.219 --> 00:22:42.019
 of a city,

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:44.159
 an eternal city.

00:22:46.199 --> 00:22:48.039
 And so we continue here,

00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:49.139
 of the increase

00:22:49.139 --> 00:22:49.899
 of his government

00:22:49.899 --> 00:22:50.619
 and of peace

00:22:50.619 --> 00:22:51.459
 there will be no end,

00:22:51.719 --> 00:22:53.119
 on the throne of David

00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:54.639
 and over his kingdom

00:22:54.639 --> 00:22:56.139
 to establish it

00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:57.340
 and uphold it

00:22:57.340 --> 00:22:58.740
 with justice

00:22:58.740 --> 00:23:01.360
 and with righteousness

00:23:01.360 --> 00:23:03.740
 from this time forth

00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:04.700
 and forevermore.

00:23:05.060 --> 00:23:06.560
 The zeal of the Lord

00:23:06.560 --> 00:23:07.640
 will do this.

00:23:07.780 --> 00:23:08.360
 Do what?

00:23:09.360 --> 00:23:10.400
 Establish this kingdom.

00:23:10.560 --> 00:23:11.200
 What kingdom?

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:13.080
 This heavenly kingdom

00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:14.580
 through his son Jesus Christ.

00:23:14.580 --> 00:23:16.100
 By what means

00:23:16.100 --> 00:23:17.759
 as a Passover lamb?

00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:20.359
 We look here

00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:20.720
 and it says,

00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:21.440
 Behold,

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:22.940
 your king is coming

00:23:22.940 --> 00:23:24.420
 to you righteous.

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.519
 Point number three.

00:23:25.660 --> 00:23:26.400
 So if you missed it,

00:23:26.700 --> 00:23:27.379
 point one,

00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.920
 it's a time for rejoicing.

00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:29.660
 Point two,

00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:31.700
 the long-awaited king

00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:32.579
 is coming.

00:23:33.019 --> 00:23:33.839
 Point number three

00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:34.240
 is this,

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:35.420
 this king

00:23:35.420 --> 00:23:36.660
 is fully

00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:37.879
 and completely

00:23:37.879 --> 00:23:38.480
 righteous.

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:43.839
 He did not come

00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:44.599
 for self.

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:45.799
 He did not come

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:46.839
 to make a name

00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:47.440
 for himself.

00:23:47.840 --> 00:23:49.080
 Alexander the Great

00:23:49.080 --> 00:23:49.980
 came to make

00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:51.059
 a name for himself,

00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:52.880
 to conquer in his name

00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:55.759
 and the esteem

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.559
 that he would get

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:58.480
 because of his great

00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:00.660
 accomplishments.

00:24:01.580 --> 00:24:01.860
 You know,

00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:02.799
 Christ didn't come

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:03.180
 with that.

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:04.299
 Christ came

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:05.620
 in righteousness

00:24:05.620 --> 00:24:06.880
 with righteousness.

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:10.240
 And with New Testament eyes,

00:24:10.380 --> 00:24:11.580
 we look at Christ

00:24:11.580 --> 00:24:12.200
 and we say,

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:13.460
 he was sinless

00:24:13.460 --> 00:24:14.299
 in every way.

00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:15.660
 He never sinned.

00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:16.340
 Matter of fact,

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:17.259
 he was born

00:24:17.259 --> 00:24:18.159
 of a virgin.

00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:19.199
 What's the big deal?

00:24:20.199 --> 00:24:20.879
 To be born

00:24:20.879 --> 00:24:21.559
 of a virgin

00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:22.419
 means that he's not

00:24:22.419 --> 00:24:23.199
 born in Adam.

00:24:23.379 --> 00:24:24.359
 That means he's not

00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:25.859
 born with original sin.

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:27.379
 He's not born

00:24:27.379 --> 00:24:29.019
 with Adam's sin.

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.779
 God placed him

00:24:30.779 --> 00:24:31.379
 in the womb

00:24:31.379 --> 00:24:32.139
 of Mary.

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:33.919
 The hand of God

00:24:33.919 --> 00:24:34.720
 placed him

00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:35.099
 in the womb

00:24:35.099 --> 00:24:35.599
 of Mary.

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:37.339
 He did not

00:24:37.339 --> 00:24:38.899
 come into the world

00:24:38.899 --> 00:24:39.879
 as a sinner.

00:24:40.019 --> 00:24:41.199
 He came into the world

00:24:41.199 --> 00:24:42.480
 as a son of God,

00:24:42.539 --> 00:24:43.139
 as a savior.

00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:44.300
 sinless

00:24:44.300 --> 00:24:45.360
 in every way.

00:24:45.360 --> 00:24:46.340
 And he lived

00:24:46.340 --> 00:24:47.220
 his life

00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:48.700
 honoring the Father

00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:49.600
 with everything

00:24:49.600 --> 00:24:50.140
 he said

00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:50.759
 and everything

00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:51.420
 he did.

00:24:51.560 --> 00:24:52.360
 He fulfilled

00:24:52.360 --> 00:24:53.800
 all of God's will.

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:54.640
 All of it.

00:24:56.580 --> 00:24:57.500
 All of it.

00:24:57.640 --> 00:24:59.060
 This is a righteous king

00:24:59.060 --> 00:25:00.140
 and he came

00:25:00.140 --> 00:25:00.920
 to give

00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:01.660
 or bring

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:02.340
 righteousness.

00:25:02.580 --> 00:25:03.140
 You know that

00:25:03.140 --> 00:25:04.080
 all

00:25:04.080 --> 00:25:05.400
 people

00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:05.940
 that he

00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:06.660
 purchases,

00:25:07.360 --> 00:25:08.080
 all people

00:25:08.080 --> 00:25:09.420
 that he forgives

00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:10.280
 and redeems,

00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:10.960
 you know that

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:12.059
 all are considered

00:25:12.059 --> 00:25:12.519
 righteous.

00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:14.960
 The word of God

00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:15.700
 talks about

00:25:15.700 --> 00:25:16.880
 that the righteousness

00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:17.680
 of Christ

00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:18.840
 because he lived

00:25:18.840 --> 00:25:19.279
 and died

00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:20.160
 in our place

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:21.740
 is given to us.

00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:23.180
 We give our sin

00:25:23.180 --> 00:25:23.779
 to him

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:24.940
 and he carries it

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:25.559
 to the cross

00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:26.420
 on a cruel death

00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:27.579
 and he gives us

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:28.600
 his righteousness.

00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:30.740
 And like a garment

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:31.519
 you can picture

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:32.220
 a coat that you

00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:32.819
 would put over

00:25:32.819 --> 00:25:33.440
 your shoulders

00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:34.579
 and would totally

00:25:34.579 --> 00:25:35.340
 cover you.

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.340
 We're made

00:25:36.340 --> 00:25:37.579
 fully righteous

00:25:37.579 --> 00:25:38.759
 not by what

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:39.360
 we've done

00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:40.359
 but by what

00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:41.179
 this righteous

00:25:41.179 --> 00:25:42.079
 king has done

00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:43.000
 on our behalf.

00:25:44.139 --> 00:25:44.699
 And notice

00:25:44.699 --> 00:25:45.459
 what it says

00:25:45.459 --> 00:25:47.519
 point number

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.000
 four

00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.139
 he comes

00:25:50.139 --> 00:25:50.899
 this king

00:25:50.899 --> 00:25:51.359
 comes

00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:52.679
 having salvation.

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.740
 This king

00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:55.379
 comes

00:25:55.379 --> 00:25:56.639
 to save.

00:25:56.779 --> 00:25:57.019
 You know

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:59.579
 the children

00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:00.139
 of Israel

00:26:00.139 --> 00:26:00.779
 thought yes

00:26:00.779 --> 00:26:01.179
 he's coming

00:26:01.179 --> 00:26:01.799
 to save us

00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:02.179
 he's going

00:26:02.179 --> 00:26:03.079
 to free us

00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:04.079
 from the oppression

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:05.339
 of these countries

00:26:05.339 --> 00:26:06.159
 these kingdoms

00:26:06.159 --> 00:26:07.439
 that are oppressing

00:26:07.439 --> 00:26:07.799
 us

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:08.240
 and they're

00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:09.619
 lording over us

00:26:09.619 --> 00:26:10.799
 and making us

00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:11.740
 slaves and servants

00:26:11.740 --> 00:26:12.319
 to them

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:13.200
 and he's going

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:13.700
 to destroy

00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:14.159
 all that

00:26:14.159 --> 00:26:14.839
 no no no

00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:15.220
 he's going

00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:15.619
 to destroy

00:26:15.619 --> 00:26:15.960
 an enemy

00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:16.779
 much much

00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:17.639
 greater than that

00:26:17.639 --> 00:26:18.759
 much much

00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:19.579
 bigger than that.

00:26:19.919 --> 00:26:20.259
 Do y'all know

00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:20.759
 who our real

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:21.419
 enemy is?

00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:22.720
 You know

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:23.220
 if we look

00:26:23.220 --> 00:26:23.839
 at Ephesians

00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:24.700
 Paul says this

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:25.039
 he says

00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:26.180
 we war not

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:26.779
 against flesh

00:26:26.779 --> 00:26:27.259
 and blood

00:26:27.259 --> 00:26:28.899
 but our true

00:26:28.899 --> 00:26:29.539
 wars against

00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:30.740
 principalities

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:31.480
 and powers

00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:32.500
 and rulers

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:33.119
 of the darkness

00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:34.359
 and spiritual

00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:34.839
 wickedness

00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:35.519
 in great places

00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:37.180
 there is a kingdom

00:26:37.180 --> 00:26:39.019
 a demonic kingdom

00:26:39.019 --> 00:26:40.319
 headed by Satan

00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:41.519
 who seeks

00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:42.500
 to devour

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:46.759
 that's our enemy

00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:48.019
 and even

00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:49.779
 our in addition

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:50.519
 to that

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:52.000
 we have an enemy

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:52.960
 that's called sin

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.940
 we were born

00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:56.920
 as sinners

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:57.839
 we were born

00:26:57.839 --> 00:26:58.859
 as slaves

00:26:58.859 --> 00:26:59.339
 to sin

00:26:59.339 --> 00:26:59.980
 Paul says

00:26:59.980 --> 00:27:00.720
 in Romans 6

00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:02.599
 we were slaves

00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:03.339
 to sin

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:04.220
 because we're born

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:04.720
 in Adam

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:06.240
 we could not

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:07.100
 do anything

00:27:07.100 --> 00:27:07.600
 righteous

00:27:07.600 --> 00:27:08.539
 we could not

00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:09.240
 do anything

00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:10.380
 that honored God

00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:11.259
 because of

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:12.839
 our innate

00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:13.600
 sinfulness

00:27:13.600 --> 00:27:14.220
 the word of God

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:15.039
 says that we were

00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:16.700
 enemies at birth

00:27:16.700 --> 00:27:18.440
 against God

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.400
 but this king

00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:22.440
 comes bringing

00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:23.259
 salvation

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:25.360
 it is the

00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:26.220
 redemptive plan

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:26.640
 of God

00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:26.839
 right

00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:27.480
 we've talked

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:28.480
 about what God

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:29.000
 intended

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.100
 through all

00:27:30.100 --> 00:27:31.019
 of the prophecies

00:27:31.019 --> 00:27:31.960
 and all of the

00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:32.480
 covenants

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:33.519
 all of them

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:34.400
 pointing to one

00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:34.660
 man

00:27:34.660 --> 00:27:34.960
 and they're

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:35.519
 pointing to

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:35.920
 Jesus

00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:36.920
 and what was

00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:37.400
 the intention

00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:38.039
 of God

00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:39.559
 he was intending

00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:40.420
 to write

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:43.019
 what was destroyed

00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:44.339
 in the garden

00:27:44.339 --> 00:27:45.099
 but we've already

00:27:45.099 --> 00:27:45.920
 preached about

00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:46.480
 revelation

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:47.099
 the end

00:27:47.099 --> 00:27:48.379
 is far greater

00:27:48.379 --> 00:27:48.920
 than even

00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:49.680
 what was in

00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:50.200
 the garden

00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:51.220
 it's this

00:27:51.220 --> 00:27:52.440
 hope

00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:52.779
 and this

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:53.339
 dream

00:27:53.339 --> 00:27:53.700
 and this

00:27:53.700 --> 00:27:54.359
 reality

00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:54.940
 that we will

00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:55.500
 enjoy

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:56.519
 in the heavenly

00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:57.019
 kingdom

00:27:57.019 --> 00:27:58.000
 where there will

00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:58.740
 be no sin

00:27:58.740 --> 00:27:59.319
 there will be

00:27:59.319 --> 00:27:59.879
 no tears

00:27:59.879 --> 00:28:00.420
 there will be

00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:00.960
 no crying

00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:01.579
 we'll be

00:28:01.579 --> 00:28:02.559
 face to face

00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:03.120
 in the presence

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:03.600
 of God

00:28:03.600 --> 00:28:04.420
 we don't

00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:05.460
 I don't know

00:28:05.460 --> 00:28:06.299
 that we realize

00:28:06.299 --> 00:28:06.779
 the greatness

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:07.400
 of that gift

00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:09.480
 that we've been

00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:10.200
 made right

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:10.819
 with almighty

00:28:10.819 --> 00:28:11.160
 God

00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:12.140
 we will enjoy

00:28:12.140 --> 00:28:13.600
 what he brings

00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:15.039
 and this salvation

00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:16.360
 is talked about

00:28:16.360 --> 00:28:17.079
 let me just

00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:18.660
 mention a couple

00:28:18.660 --> 00:28:19.140
 of places

00:28:19.140 --> 00:28:19.779
 in the scripture

00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:21.220
 where this type

00:28:21.220 --> 00:28:21.900
 salvation

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:22.440
 is mentioned

00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:23.440
 what is the

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:24.019
 salvation

00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:24.720
 that Jesus

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:25.259
 brings

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:26.420
 is it saving

00:28:26.420 --> 00:28:27.259
 us from other

00:28:27.259 --> 00:28:27.700
 kingdoms

00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:28.600
 other people

00:28:28.600 --> 00:28:29.259
 other groups

00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:29.779
 from the Roman

00:28:29.779 --> 00:28:30.140
 empire

00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:31.380
 no no no

00:28:31.380 --> 00:28:31.680
 no

00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:33.460
 it's saving

00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:34.420
 us from sin

00:28:34.420 --> 00:28:37.420
 sin is what

00:28:37.420 --> 00:28:38.620
 separates us

00:28:38.620 --> 00:28:39.340
 from God

00:28:39.340 --> 00:28:40.500
 sin is what

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:41.720
 caused Adam

00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:42.040
 and Eve

00:28:42.040 --> 00:28:43.040
 to be pushed

00:28:43.040 --> 00:28:43.580
 out of the

00:28:43.580 --> 00:28:43.920
 garden

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:44.600
 and they placed

00:28:44.600 --> 00:28:45.420
 an angel

00:28:45.420 --> 00:28:46.200
 with a flaming

00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:46.860
 sword at the

00:28:46.860 --> 00:28:47.420
 entrance and

00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:48.040
 said you

00:28:48.040 --> 00:28:48.980
 cannot come

00:28:48.980 --> 00:28:50.800
 because of

00:28:50.800 --> 00:28:51.440
 your sin

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:52.340
 you can't

00:28:52.340 --> 00:28:53.640
 be face

00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:54.140
 to face

00:28:54.140 --> 00:28:54.640
 or in

00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:55.100
 relation

00:28:55.100 --> 00:28:55.820
 with the

00:28:55.820 --> 00:28:56.380
 holy God

00:28:56.380 --> 00:28:57.500
 you can't

00:28:57.500 --> 00:28:57.680
 be

00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:00.000
 and so

00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:00.640
 our sin

00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:01.279
 is separate

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:01.779
 us from

00:29:01.779 --> 00:29:02.140
 God

00:29:02.140 --> 00:29:03.500
 but the

00:29:03.500 --> 00:29:03.799
 word of

00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:04.019
 God

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:04.799
 says this

00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:09.900
 it says

00:29:09.900 --> 00:29:10.580
 the wages

00:29:10.580 --> 00:29:11.320
 of sin

00:29:11.320 --> 00:29:12.039
 is death

00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:13.460
 but the

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:14.240
 free gift

00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:15.019
 of God

00:29:15.019 --> 00:29:16.779
 in Christ

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:17.240
 Jesus

00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:17.759
 excuse me

00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:19.160
 the free

00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:19.840
 gift of God

00:29:19.840 --> 00:29:20.320
 is eternal

00:29:20.320 --> 00:29:20.940
 life in

00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:21.259
 Christ

00:29:21.259 --> 00:29:21.680
 Jesus

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:22.880
 the wages

00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:23.420
 of sin

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:23.960
 is death

00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:24.840
 all of us

00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:25.779
 all of us

00:29:25.779 --> 00:29:26.480
 all of us

00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:27.379
 were born

00:29:27.379 --> 00:29:27.859
 in sin

00:29:27.859 --> 00:29:28.279
 and guess

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:28.779
 what that

00:29:28.779 --> 00:29:29.039
 means

00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:29.519
 that means

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:30.779
 that we

00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:34.119
 spiritually

00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:34.679
 speaking

00:29:34.679 --> 00:29:35.319
 are dead

00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:36.419
 physically

00:29:36.419 --> 00:29:37.119
 we're alive

00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:37.899
 spiritually

00:29:37.899 --> 00:29:38.399
 speaking

00:29:38.399 --> 00:29:38.899
 we're dead

00:29:38.899 --> 00:29:40.000
 until the

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:40.659
 free gift

00:29:40.659 --> 00:29:41.119
 of God

00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:41.759
 is extended

00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:42.259
 to us

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:42.779
 and by

00:29:42.779 --> 00:29:43.339
 faith

00:29:43.339 --> 00:29:44.259
 we see

00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:44.759
 that the

00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:45.480
 life that

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:46.139
 Christ lived

00:29:46.139 --> 00:29:46.619
 the death

00:29:46.619 --> 00:29:47.099
 that he died

00:29:47.099 --> 00:29:47.879
 was in our

00:29:47.879 --> 00:29:48.519
 place for

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:49.000
 us

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:54.579
 in

00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:55.579
 Acts

00:29:55.579 --> 00:29:55.900
 the book

00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:56.359
 of Acts

00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:56.759
 it says

00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.079
 this

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.440
 it said

00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:58.539
 this

00:29:58.539 --> 00:29:59.019
 Jesus

00:29:59.019 --> 00:29:59.559
 is the

00:29:59.559 --> 00:29:59.900
 stone

00:29:59.900 --> 00:30:00.240
 that was

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:00.859
 rejected

00:30:00.859 --> 00:30:01.599
 by you

00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:02.339
 talking about

00:30:02.339 --> 00:30:02.880
 the leaders

00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:03.359

00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:07.220
 has

00:30:07.220 --> 00:30:07.599
 become

00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:07.819
 the

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:08.480
 cornerstone

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:08.839
 and there

00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:09.019
 is

00:30:09.019 --> 00:30:09.759
 salvation

00:35:56.699 --> 00:35:57.119
 share

00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:57.419
 that

00:35:57.419 --> 00:35:57.779
 apart

00:35:57.779 --> 00:35:58.179
 from

00:35:58.179 --> 00:35:58.419
 the

00:35:58.419 --> 00:35:58.859
 work

00:35:58.859 --> 00:35:59.059
 of

 King

00:35:59.359 --> 00:35:59.919

00:35:59.919 --> 00:36:01.000
 bringing

00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:01.799
 salvation

00:36:01.799 --> 00:36:02.139
 to

00:36:02.139 --> 00:36:02.439
 them

00:36:02.439 --> 00:36:02.719
 there's

00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:02.899
 no

00:36:02.899 --> 00:36:03.219
 hope

00:36:03.219 --> 00:36:04.500
 on

00:36:04.500 --> 00:36:04.679
 our

00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:04.939
 own

00:36:04.939 --> 00:36:05.119
 we

00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:05.339

00:36:05.339 --> 00:36:05.539
 no

00:36:05.539 --> 00:36:05.879
 hope

00:36:05.879 --> 00:36:06.559
 it's

00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:06.759
 only

00:36:06.759 --> 00:36:07.039

00:36:07.819 --> 00:36:08.099
 and

00:36:08.099 --> 00:36:08.279
 so

00:36:08.279 --> 00:36:08.519

00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:08.659
 you

00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:11.339
