00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:08.080
 Good morning, guys. It's a cold Palm Sunday. It's the beginning of Holy Week, as you guys know.

00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:14.280
 It's the week that commemorates the most important historical events in all of history,

00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:19.039
 because Christianity is a religion built off of historical events. Amen?

00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:26.339
 More than World War II, more than the signing of the American Constitution,

00:00:26.339 --> 00:00:32.960
 more than 9-11, his death and resurrection are the most important historical events to occur.

00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:38.960
 So it makes sense that we take time to focus on this, in this time of the Christian calendar.

00:00:39.140 --> 00:00:44.899
 So we're going to be taking a break, as Janet mentioned, from our current sermon series in Revelation.

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:55.539
 Today, we're going to take a look at Luke's account in Jesus' triumphal entry in Luke 19, 28-44.

00:00:55.539 --> 00:00:58.519
 That's Luke 19, 28-44.

00:00:59.339 --> 00:01:02.600
 And as always, if you are in need of a Bible, and if you would like one,

00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:06.159
 feel free to just raise your hand, and one of our members would be happy to gift you one.

00:01:08.140 --> 00:01:13.960
 Let's bow our heads, and if you would, pray with me as we pray for the reading and preaching of God's Word.

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.700
 God, we are in need of strength.

00:01:18.460 --> 00:01:19.780
 We are in need of mercy.

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:24.019
 We are in need of the things that only you can give to us.

00:01:24.019 --> 00:01:26.899
 We are in need of grace.

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:31.060
 We are in need of every single one of your blessings.

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.479
 We are in need of Christ, the perfect Lamb,

00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:37.679
 the one who was slain on our behalf,

00:01:38.019 --> 00:01:40.979
 the coming King who came to bring us peace.

00:01:41.099 --> 00:01:44.120
 We are an anxious, toiling people without you.

00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:46.780
 We have no hope for peace without you.

00:01:46.780 --> 00:01:51.079
 Show us the peace that we find in your Son.

00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:56.480
 Give us eyes to see and ears to hear today.

00:01:56.980 --> 00:01:58.219
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:01:58.780 --> 00:01:59.000
 Amen.

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.959
 Please rise for the reading of God's infallible Word.

00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:15.000
 And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:21.840
 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mount that is called Olivet,

00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:24.780
 he sent two of the disciples, saying,

00:02:25.139 --> 00:02:29.719
 Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied,

00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.939
 on which no one has ever yet sat.

00:02:34.180 --> 00:02:35.560
 Untie it and bring it here.

00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.319
 If anyone asks you, why are you untying it?

00:02:40.180 --> 00:02:42.819
 You shall say this, the Lord has need of it.

00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:48.560
 So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them.

00:02:49.539 --> 00:02:53.060
 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them,

00:02:53.259 --> 00:02:54.560
 Why are you untying the colt?

00:02:55.259 --> 00:02:57.639
 And they said, the Lord has need of it.

00:02:58.759 --> 00:02:59.879
 And they brought it to Jesus.

00:03:00.459 --> 00:03:04.060
 And throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.

00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.439
 And as they rode along, they spread their cloaks on the ground.

00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:14.379
 As he was drawing near, already on the way down the Mount of Olives,

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:21.159
 the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice

00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.699
 for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying,

00:03:25.139 --> 00:03:27.939
 Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord.

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.960
 Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:37.320
 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him,

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:40.840
 Teacher, rebuke your disciples.

00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:48.400
 He answered, I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:55.780
 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying,

00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:01.819
 Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace.

00:04:03.460 --> 00:04:05.719
 But now they are hidden from your eyes.

00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.159
 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will set up a barricade around you

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:17.159
 and surround you and hem you in on every side and tear you down to the ground,

00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.519
 you and your children within you.

00:04:20.779 --> 00:04:24.199
 They will not leave one stone upon another in you,

00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:28.219
 because you did not know the time of your visitation.

00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.659
 This is God's holy and authoritative word.

00:04:31.719 --> 00:04:32.420
 You may be seated.

00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:44.259
 In Greek mythology, there is this story about a woman named Cassandra.

00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:50.819
 Cassandra was the beautiful daughter and princess of the city of Troy.

00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.860
 She was so beautiful that the Greek god Apollo courted her,

00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:00.939
 tried to woo her, and did so by giving her the gift,

00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:05.439
 the supernatural gift of divination, of being able to see the future accurately.

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.019
 But while she was all too eager to accept that gift,

00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:13.620
 she actually rejected him as a romantic partner,

00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:16.079
 essentially friendzoning him, right?

00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:21.259
 And he's so upset that he ends up cursing her.

00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.319
 He can't take away that power, but he curses her

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.319
 so that while she can accurately see the future,

00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:29.259
 no one would believe her.

00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:33.839
 So the story goes that while she was in Troy,

00:05:34.219 --> 00:05:40.019
 she frantically warned her parents, the city, the people of Troy,

00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:41.719
 of the dangers of the Trojan War,

00:05:42.019 --> 00:05:44.240
 even of the Trojan horse,

00:05:44.740 --> 00:05:47.139
 the deceptive ploy that the Greeks used

00:05:47.139 --> 00:05:50.459
 to be able to hide soldiers inside the horse,

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.360
 invade the city, and bring destruction.

00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:57.000
 But because of their stubbornness and because of the curse,

00:05:57.520 --> 00:05:59.439
 no one would listen to her,

00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.960
 even though she knew exactly what would bring peace to the city.

00:06:06.580 --> 00:06:11.319
 Can you imagine laboring over a people that you want to be saved,

00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.220
 but continue to reject the message that you know to be true

00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:18.000
 and you know would be good for them?

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:25.860
 Well, we'll see that Jesus knows what that feels like in our passage today.

00:06:25.860 --> 00:06:32.620
 Jesus knows what it feels like to bring the things that would make for peace,

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.060
 namely himself,

00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:39.340
 only to be misunderstood and outright rejected.

00:06:40.139 --> 00:06:44.080
 His disciples misunderstand what kind of kingdom,

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.920
 what kind of peace he's come to bring.

00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.819
 And even worse, he's outright rejected by the Pharisees

00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:54.640
 and all in the city of Jerusalem that refused to look to him

00:06:54.640 --> 00:06:58.340
 for all their righteousness, for all their peace,

00:06:58.580 --> 00:07:01.360
 refused to look to him as their Passover sacrifice.

00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:08.840
 Because of that, while his entrance is triumphant with exuberant praise,

00:07:09.819 --> 00:07:12.300
 it's also quite sad.

00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:20.420
 So much so that even after receiving exuberant praise from his disciples,

00:07:20.579 --> 00:07:21.900
 Jesus, he weeps.

00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.639
 He is weeping over all who reject the peace that he has come to offer.

00:07:28.020 --> 00:07:32.000
 Humbly, he came humbly to save them from their impending doom.

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:33.819
 But they reject it.

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.160
 And that same warning of rejecting Jesus is true of us today.

00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:45.060
 Everything hinges upon what you make of Jesus.

00:07:45.960 --> 00:07:47.360
 Who is Jesus to you?

00:07:48.880 --> 00:07:50.460
 Is he your king?

00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.220
 Will you serve him as king?

00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:56.340
 Will you accept his peace?

00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:03.379
 This passage this morning warns and exhorts us to worship Jesus

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:05.300
 as your coming king,

00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:07.879
 who alone brings everlasting peace.

00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:14.140
 Broke down the sermon by the three characters and actors that we see,

00:08:14.260 --> 00:08:18.560
 namely, of course, Jesus, his disciples, and then the Pharisees.

00:08:18.660 --> 00:08:21.940
 We'll see how Jesus is declaring himself as king.

00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:25.840
 Next, we'll see how the disciples accept him as king.

00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:30.360
 Those, he's not the king that they expected.

00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.960
 And how the Pharisees reject him as king.

00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:41.159
 Our passage opens with Jesus going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:44.580
 And throughout the book of Luke,

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:48.220
 Jesus has been foretelling his death, his resurrection,

00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:53.620
 prophesying that Jerusalem will be the specific place where he will die.

00:08:53.620 --> 00:08:57.659
 In the immediate chapter before our passage today,

00:08:58.460 --> 00:09:00.299
 in Luke 18, Jesus warns them,

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:02.720
 see, we are going up to Jerusalem,

00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:07.560
 and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:11.320
 For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles,

00:09:11.379 --> 00:09:14.360
 and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon.

00:09:15.019 --> 00:09:16.940
 And after flogging him, they will kill him.

00:09:16.940 --> 00:09:19.880
 And on the third day, he will rise.

00:09:20.060 --> 00:09:21.220
 You see, this is it.

00:09:21.400 --> 00:09:24.720
 This is the mission that Jesus has set out to do.

00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:27.400
 This is the mission that the Father gave him.

00:09:28.660 --> 00:09:30.740
 Jesus has been to Jerusalem before.

00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:34.540
 But, you know, after a prediction like this,

00:09:34.660 --> 00:09:36.700
 this visit is going to be very different.

00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:42.720
 Despite all the suffering and pain Jesus knows awaits him in the city,

00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:49.240
 he steps forth into his destiny with courage, without hesitancy or fear,

00:09:49.560 --> 00:09:52.379
 because he loves us.

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.960
 In his highly praised book, Gentle and Lonely,

00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:57.000
 Pastor Dane Ortlund writes,

00:09:57.259 --> 00:09:59.420
 the cumulative testimony of the Gospels

00:09:59.420 --> 00:10:03.860
 is that when Jesus Christ sees the fallenness of the world all about him,

00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:07.720
 his deepest impulse, his most natural instinct,

00:10:08.180 --> 00:10:11.040
 is to move toward that sin and suffering,

00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:12.580
 not away from it.

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.000
 We see that deepest impulse here in the opening verse,

00:10:17.060 --> 00:10:18.740
 to move toward sin,

00:10:19.139 --> 00:10:22.860
 to bring peace no matter what the cost to him.

00:10:26.060 --> 00:10:27.960
 And knowing this is his last week to live,

00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:34.279
 Jesus is now ready to publicly reveal everything about who he is

00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.540
 and what his ministry is all about.

00:10:36.539 --> 00:10:43.699
 Throughout the Gospels, we witness Jesus perform miracle after miracle,

00:10:44.099 --> 00:10:46.559
 saving, transforming lives,

00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:48.399
 only to then tell these people,

00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.899
 shh, don't tell anybody.

00:10:51.899 --> 00:10:59.679
 And he does this because he wants them to keep what theologians have called the messianic secret.

00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:03.959
 Jesus knew there was a right time for his death.

00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.900
 And he knew that if he grew too popular among the Jews,

00:11:08.300 --> 00:11:09.620
 the Pharisees, his enemies,

00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:12.420
 could let their ugly envy and anger

00:11:12.420 --> 00:11:15.560
 lead them to prematurely eliminate him

00:11:15.560 --> 00:11:18.180
 before the right hour that Jesus knew,

00:11:18.179 --> 00:11:20.019
 namely the Passover,

00:11:20.019 --> 00:11:22.519
 so that he could be the Passover lamb.

00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:27.840
 And his popularity has been growing and growing throughout his ministry,

00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.059
 but now that the time is just right,

00:11:30.659 --> 00:11:32.019
 literally five days,

00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:33.899
 five days before his death,

00:11:34.319 --> 00:11:39.960
 Jesus is ready to reveal who he is as the rightful king of Israel.

00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.700
 And he also knows the consequences of that too,

00:11:44.300 --> 00:11:49.060
 that he knows that the consequence of this would ultimately lead to his death.

00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:55.420
 And just like there is no way for us to take back words that we say out of our mouths,

00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:58.800
 there's no going back after Jesus' statement here.

00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:04.259
 This event changes everything about him and how the public perceives him.

00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:08.220
 I don't know what this says about me,

00:12:08.220 --> 00:12:11.480
 that this is one of the first examples that came to my mind,

00:12:11.660 --> 00:12:14.160
 but in the cinematic classic,

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.639
 The Princess Diaries,

00:12:17.139 --> 00:12:24.980
 there's a scene where shy, introverted Mia

00:12:24.980 --> 00:12:29.779
 is revealed to the public that she is the rightful heir

00:12:29.779 --> 00:12:32.080
 to the throne of Genovia.

00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.000
 And everything changes about how people treat her,

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.639
 about who she is.

00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:41.519
 There's no going back to being normal Mia.

00:12:43.259 --> 00:12:44.159
 In a similar way,

00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:46.139
 Jesus proclaims that he,

00:12:47.340 --> 00:12:48.679
 the lowly,

00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.399
 poor son of a carpenter,

00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:53.240
 a Galilean commoner,

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:56.740
 he was the rightful heir to the Davidic throne.

00:12:57.299 --> 00:12:59.940
 And he does this by the vehicle of his choice.

00:12:59.940 --> 00:13:03.920
 When he draws near to the Mount of Olives,

00:13:04.220 --> 00:13:07.380
 Jesus sends two of his disciples to go fetch a cult

00:13:07.380 --> 00:13:10.500
 on which no one has ever yet ridden.

00:13:11.060 --> 00:13:11.480
 Now,

00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.020
 we have to ask,

00:13:13.180 --> 00:13:13.920
 why a cult?

00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:19.460
 A lot of this goes over our 21st century Western sensibilities,

00:13:19.780 --> 00:13:21.560
 but to a first century Jew,

00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:23.980
 they understood what Jesus was doing.

00:13:24.300 --> 00:13:27.140
 They understood the message that he was trying to proclaim.

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:31.240
 They would have known this because of the historical precedent

00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:32.840
 set by kings in the past.

00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.600
 We know that after King David,

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:40.699
 after his moral debacle of adultery with Bathsheba

00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:42.019
 and killing off her husband,

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:46.439
 his family sort of turns into this dysfunctional mess.

00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:50.240
 And he turns into this negligent king and father.

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:53.419
 And at the end of his reign,

00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:57.419
 where the public is supposed to know

00:13:57.419 --> 00:13:59.120
 who is supposed to be next,

00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:01.580
 and while he's already previously promised

00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:03.779
 his son Solomon the throne,

00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:05.480
 his other son,

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:06.240
 Adonijah,

00:14:06.500 --> 00:14:07.960
 tries to steal power,

00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:08.960
 steal the throne,

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:11.480
 and publicly proclaims,

00:14:11.620 --> 00:14:12.580
 I will be king.

00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:15.960
 So the public is confused.

00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:16.900
 Who's going to be king?

00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:17.259
 Is it,

00:14:17.660 --> 00:14:18.600
 was it Adonijah?

00:14:18.800 --> 00:14:19.139
 Was it,

00:14:19.139 --> 00:14:20.200
 was it Solomon?

00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:24.040
 After being negligent,

00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:26.400
 David finally steps in

00:14:26.400 --> 00:14:27.700
 and corrects his course

00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:30.259
 and establishes Solomon as king.

00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:31.100
 How does he do this?

00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.620
 He does it by having him ride into the city

00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:35.720
 on a donkey.

00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.879
 By riding a donkey into this city,

00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.340
 the answer is unambiguous

00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:41.900
 that Solomon is king.

00:14:41.899 --> 00:14:44.519
 And on top of that,

00:14:44.579 --> 00:14:45.679
 we'd be remiss

00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.019
 if we don't,

00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:47.259
 you know,

00:14:47.319 --> 00:14:49.679
 click this bright blue hyperlink

00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.220
 to Zechariah 9, 9,

00:14:51.319 --> 00:14:52.279
 which reads,

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.079
 Rejoice greatly,

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.459
 O daughter of Zion.

00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:56.699
 Shout aloud,

00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:58.240
 O daughter of Jerusalem.

00:14:58.980 --> 00:14:59.439
 Behold,

00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:00.959
 your king is coming to you.

00:15:01.419 --> 00:15:02.959
 Righteous and having salvation

00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:03.740
 is he,

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:06.279
 humble and mounted on a donkey,

00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:07.120
 on a colt,

00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:08.579
 the foal of a donkey.

00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:11.559
 When Jesus rides

00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.519
 into Jerusalem

00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:13.859
 on a donkey,

00:15:13.859 --> 00:15:15.559
 there is no doubt

00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.159
 to everyone there

00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:18.879
 what statement he is making

00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.559
 by fulfilling this OT prophecy

00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:22.599
 in Zechariah 9, 9,

00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.639
 and literally hundreds more.

00:15:25.099 --> 00:15:27.579
 Jesus is the indisputable,

00:15:28.119 --> 00:15:29.219
 long-awaited,

00:15:29.339 --> 00:15:29.839
 righteous,

00:15:30.099 --> 00:15:31.259
 messianic king

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:32.500
 of Israel,

00:15:33.179 --> 00:15:33.559
 bringing salvation

00:15:34.099 --> 00:15:35.500
 to all who would believe

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:36.319
 in his name.

00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.379
 Jesus knows it,

00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:39.700
 the disciples know it,

00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:41.300
 the Pharisees know it.

00:15:42.900 --> 00:15:44.840
 As theologian N.T. Wright

00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:45.379
 puts it,

00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:46.920
 within his own time

00:15:46.920 --> 00:15:47.780
 and culture,

00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:49.740
 Jesus riding on a donkey

00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:51.080
 over the Mount of Olives

00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.320
 spoke more powerfully

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.520
 than words could have done

00:15:55.520 --> 00:15:56.740
 of a royal claim.

00:15:56.740 --> 00:16:02.340
 To enter in this regal way,

00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:04.820
 Jesus sends his disciples

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:07.580
 on a quest,

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:08.419
 on a side quest

00:16:08.419 --> 00:16:11.379
 to find a colt

00:16:11.379 --> 00:16:11.879
 and he gives them

00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:13.419
 very specific instructions.

00:16:13.560 --> 00:16:14.180
 He gives them three.

00:16:14.980 --> 00:16:15.680
 Go to this village,

00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:16.159
 number one.

00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:17.720
 At the entrance

00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:18.720
 of this village,

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:19.960
 find a colt

00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:20.720
 which he seems

00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.019
 to supernaturally know

00:16:22.019 --> 00:16:23.600
 that no one

00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:24.240
 has ever ridden.

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.539
 And then number three,

00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.740
 without asking the owners,

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:30.180
 start untying.

00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:32.379
 If they object,

00:16:33.180 --> 00:16:33.899
 Jesus teaches them

00:16:33.899 --> 00:16:34.659
 to simply state,

00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:36.320
 the Lord has need of it.

00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:37.899
 So they go.

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:39.180
 Of course,

00:16:39.299 --> 00:16:39.879
 it's Jesus.

00:16:40.460 --> 00:16:41.519
 They find it exactly

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.120
 as he tells them.

00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:45.180
 And they obey.

00:16:45.779 --> 00:16:46.899
 In my imagination,

00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:48.440
 they start nervously

00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.460
 untying the colt.

00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:52.279
 And lo and behold,

00:16:52.379 --> 00:16:52.820
 the owners seem

00:16:52.820 --> 00:16:53.720
 to catch them.

00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:55.340
 And object.

00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:56.019
 And say,

00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:56.580
 why are you

00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:57.360
 untying the colt?

00:16:58.860 --> 00:16:59.799
 And I imagine

00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:00.460
 the disciples,

00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:00.899
 you know,

00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:01.820
 they looked at each other

00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:02.779
 and shrugged their shoulders

00:17:02.779 --> 00:17:03.940
 and they said,

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:05.500
 the Lord has need of it.

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:08.559
 And it works.

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:10.779
 It works

00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:11.779
 because it's likely

00:17:11.779 --> 00:17:12.700
 that Jesus really

00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:13.859
 is stepping in

00:17:13.859 --> 00:17:16.220
 to the full role

00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:17.359
 of a king here.

00:17:17.420 --> 00:17:18.980
 Because back in those days,

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:19.980
 there was a principle

00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:21.839
 that figures of state,

00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:23.400
 rulers and kings,

00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.160
 they could impress

00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.440
 private property

00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:27.680
 for their own

00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:28.920
 personal use.

00:17:31.019 --> 00:17:32.420
 So he possesses

00:17:32.420 --> 00:17:32.860
 the donkey

00:17:32.860 --> 00:17:33.940
 on that principle.

00:17:34.800 --> 00:17:35.420
 And I think

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:36.140
 this is fascinating.

00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:36.860
 The owners,

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.800
 which in the original Greek

00:17:38.800 --> 00:17:39.860
 literally translates

00:17:39.860 --> 00:17:40.660
 as lords,

00:17:41.340 --> 00:17:42.080
 the lords

00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:42.940
 of the donkeys

00:17:42.940 --> 00:17:44.860
 submit and hand

00:17:44.860 --> 00:17:45.820
 over the animal

00:17:45.820 --> 00:17:47.160
 to the true lord

00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:47.920
 of the universe.

00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.320
 Isn't that true

00:17:50.320 --> 00:17:50.920
 of us,

00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:51.960
 brothers and sisters?

00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:55.279
 If Jesus is our king,

00:17:55.360 --> 00:17:56.180
 we should serve him

00:17:56.180 --> 00:17:57.000
 as such.

00:17:59.539 --> 00:18:00.900
 Everything we own

00:18:00.900 --> 00:18:02.019
 is in the domain

00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:03.180
 of his sovereignty.

00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:07.039
 Whenever he points

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.960
 to this possession

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:08.759
 and he says,

00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:09.860
 I have need of this,

00:18:10.320 --> 00:18:12.039
 we must hand it over.

00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:13.220
 It's the king.

00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:15.720
 Whenever he points

00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:16.779
 to our car

00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:17.660
 or our time

00:18:17.660 --> 00:18:18.279
 or money

00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:19.220
 or this skill,

00:18:20.360 --> 00:18:21.220
 we've got to turn it over.

00:18:21.299 --> 00:18:21.920
 It's the king.

00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:22.600
 We must.

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:25.660
 Actually,

00:18:25.779 --> 00:18:25.900
 no,

00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:26.700
 sorry,

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.539
 that's not a must.

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:28.779
 It's a we get to,

00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:29.100
 right?

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:31.539
 We get to

00:18:31.539 --> 00:18:33.100
 because we serve

00:18:33.100 --> 00:18:35.660
 only out of the things

00:18:35.660 --> 00:18:36.600
 that he has freely

00:18:36.600 --> 00:18:37.539
 given to us.

00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:38.360
 For what do we have

00:18:38.360 --> 00:18:38.940
 that we haven't

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:40.120
 freely received?

00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:43.459
 Everything we own,

00:18:43.659 --> 00:18:44.500
 everything we are

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:45.619
 comes freely

00:18:45.619 --> 00:18:46.839
 from the sovereign king.

00:18:46.939 --> 00:18:47.979
 Every good gift

00:18:47.979 --> 00:18:48.979
 comes from him.

00:18:50.779 --> 00:18:51.619
 After all,

00:18:51.739 --> 00:18:52.659
 in the hands

00:18:52.659 --> 00:18:53.239
 of the savior

00:18:53.239 --> 00:18:55.019
 is the most secure place

00:18:55.019 --> 00:18:56.259
 to have our possessions.

00:18:57.479 --> 00:18:58.959
 As Martin Luther comments,

00:18:59.219 --> 00:19:01.119
 I've held many things

00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:02.079
 in my hands

00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:03.779
 and I have lost them all.

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:06.859
 But whatever I've placed

00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:07.939
 in God's hands,

00:19:08.479 --> 00:19:10.059
 that I still possess.

00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:13.799
 One particular area

00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:14.559
 that I believe

00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:15.539
 Jesus is saying,

00:19:15.659 --> 00:19:16.819
 I have need of this,

00:19:17.479 --> 00:19:19.259
 is our homes

00:19:19.259 --> 00:19:21.339
 in radically

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:23.119
 ordinary hospitality.

00:19:26.659 --> 00:19:27.699
 Doesn't mean you have

00:19:27.699 --> 00:19:28.579
 to be the best cook,

00:19:29.639 --> 00:19:30.659
 thank God,

00:19:31.199 --> 00:19:33.439
 or have the nicest furniture

00:19:33.439 --> 00:19:36.619
 or even have a lot

00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:37.399
 of space to host

00:19:37.399 --> 00:19:38.639
 because Lord knows

00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:39.420
 we struggle with that

00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:39.860
 in Boston,

00:19:40.020 --> 00:19:40.340
 Cambridge.

00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:42.420
 Our hospitality

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:43.620
 must be radical,

00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:45.240
 but it is ordinary.

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:48.420
 It's well documented

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:50.600
 that since the 1990s,

00:19:50.840 --> 00:19:51.820
 we have become

00:19:51.820 --> 00:19:52.500
 increasingly

00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:54.340
 a lonely people.

00:19:56.860 --> 00:19:57.860
 The U.S.

00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:58.900
 Surgeon General

00:19:58.900 --> 00:19:59.660
 has called,

00:19:59.800 --> 00:20:00.060
 quote,

00:20:00.280 --> 00:20:01.280
 our epidemic

00:20:01.280 --> 00:20:02.100
 of loneliness

00:20:02.099 --> 00:20:03.179
 and isolation

00:20:03.179 --> 00:20:05.219
 and underappreciated

00:20:05.219 --> 00:20:06.679
 public health crisis.

00:20:08.679 --> 00:20:09.699
 We don't need figures

00:20:09.699 --> 00:20:10.619
 of state to tell us that.

00:20:10.699 --> 00:20:11.539
 We know that.

00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:12.339
 We feel that,

00:20:12.699 --> 00:20:13.079
 don't we?

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.579
 Our phones,

00:20:15.879 --> 00:20:16.859
 our social media,

00:20:16.959 --> 00:20:18.779
 they promise connectivity,

00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:19.759
 community,

00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:22.039
 to be known,

00:20:22.219 --> 00:20:22.980
 but in the end,

00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:23.719
 it feels like we are

00:20:23.719 --> 00:20:25.019
 more distant than ever.

00:20:25.019 --> 00:20:29.240
 And amid an epidemic

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:30.099
 of loneliness

00:20:30.099 --> 00:20:32.400
 of our Christian homes,

00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:33.500
 whether you live

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:34.920
 in a multi-storied house

00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:36.379
 or live in a dormitory,

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:37.779
 the Lord is saying,

00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:39.220
 I have need of this.

00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:41.220
 Indeed,

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.799
 opening our doors

00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:43.619
 to friends,

00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:44.500
 family,

00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:45.240
 church members,

00:20:45.339 --> 00:20:46.680
 and even strangers,

00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:47.559
 our homes

00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:48.019
 transform

00:20:48.539 --> 00:20:50.019
 into hospitable

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.019
 hospitals

00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:53.519
 to heal the world

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.619
 of this public health crisis

00:20:55.619 --> 00:20:56.539
 of their loneliness.

00:20:58.139 --> 00:21:00.139
 This is how we show the world

00:21:00.139 --> 00:21:01.660
 what authentic Christianity

00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:02.980
 is all about.

00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:07.279
 Author Rosaria Butterfield

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:08.240
 writes of hospitality

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:08.879
 in this way.

00:21:09.339 --> 00:21:10.980
 Do Christian people

00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:12.680
 practice Christian hospitality

00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:13.740
 in regular,

00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:14.779
 ordinary,

00:21:15.099 --> 00:21:16.440
 consistent ways?

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:18.259
 Or do we think

00:21:18.259 --> 00:21:18.660
 our homes

00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:19.279
 are too precious

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:20.299
 for criminals

00:21:20.299 --> 00:21:21.240
 and outcasts?

00:21:22.419 --> 00:21:23.299
 Our homes

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:24.500
 are not our castles.

00:21:24.639 --> 00:21:24.980
 Indeed,

00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:26.899
 they are not even ours.

00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:29.579
 I felt

00:21:29.579 --> 00:21:30.299
 and witnessed

00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:31.180
 the transformation

00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:33.059
 that hospitality brings.

00:21:35.619 --> 00:21:36.180
 Acquaintances

00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:37.079
 come through the door

00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:38.159
 and they leave

00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:39.139
 as friends.

00:21:40.099 --> 00:21:40.759
 Church members

00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:42.000
 come through the door,

00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:42.579
 but they leave

00:21:42.579 --> 00:21:43.379
 as family.

00:21:44.460 --> 00:21:45.419
 Haters of God

00:21:45.419 --> 00:21:46.240
 come through the door,

00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:46.940
 but they leave

00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:48.619
 as lovers of God.

00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:53.319
 Christine and I,

00:21:53.639 --> 00:21:55.039
 along with many of you,

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:57.000
 have been blessed

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:58.579
 by this church's hospitality.

00:21:58.819 --> 00:21:59.700
 And in part,

00:21:59.779 --> 00:22:00.279
 in large part,

00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:01.440
 we are part of this church

00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:02.940
 because of hospitality.

00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:04.839
 And God will continue

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:06.579
 to use our hospitality

00:22:06.579 --> 00:22:07.839
 to build his kingdom,

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:09.799
 to build this church.

00:22:10.940 --> 00:22:11.599
 May we submit

00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:13.139
 everything we own,

00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:14.859
 even our castles,

00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:15.919
 to the Lord's purposes.

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.759
 going back to the scene,

00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:21.160
 we see how Jesus' disciples

00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:22.519
 do just that

00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:23.200
 by submitting

00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:24.420
 everything in their possession,

00:22:24.779 --> 00:22:25.860
 even the very clothes

00:22:25.860 --> 00:22:26.680
 on their backs.

00:22:27.940 --> 00:22:29.019
 They bring back

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:29.980
 the donkey to Jesus.

00:22:30.420 --> 00:22:31.600
 They set him on,

00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:32.660
 the animal,

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.759
 not before

00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:35.120
 throwing their cloaks

00:22:35.120 --> 00:22:35.519
 on it

00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:36.840
 as a regal seat.

00:22:37.779 --> 00:22:38.519
 On top of that,

00:22:38.580 --> 00:22:39.700
 they throw their cloaks

00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:40.539
 on the ground

00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:41.759
 lest the regal king

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.480
 or his donkey

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:43.900
 touch the dirty ground.

00:22:43.900 --> 00:22:45.120
 They're pulling out

00:22:45.120 --> 00:22:46.519
 all the stops, right?

00:22:46.900 --> 00:22:48.960
 The royal red carpet treatment

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:50.860
 because they accept him

00:22:50.860 --> 00:22:51.640
 as king.

00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:53.759
 Just like they did

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.640
 for King Jehu

00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.060
 in 2 Kings 9.

00:22:57.800 --> 00:22:59.200
 But before we move on,

00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:00.180
 I think it's important

00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:02.060
 that we set the stage

00:23:02.060 --> 00:23:02.800
 historically

00:23:02.800 --> 00:23:05.640
 because it's well documented

00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:06.460
 that the Jews

00:23:06.460 --> 00:23:07.320
 at the time

00:23:07.320 --> 00:23:08.100
 believed that

00:23:08.100 --> 00:23:09.300
 their coming Messiah,

00:23:10.940 --> 00:23:12.480
 the foretold Davidic king,

00:23:12.560 --> 00:23:13.040
 he was coming

00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:14.700
 to bring peace.

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:17.119
 I heard he touched him,

00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:17.980
 healed the leper.

00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:19.440
 Well, I heard

00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:20.700
 that he raised a girl

00:23:20.700 --> 00:23:21.980
 back to life.

00:23:23.879 --> 00:23:25.220
 Believing he is the king,

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:26.579
 the whole multitude

00:23:26.579 --> 00:23:27.899
 of his disciples

00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:29.039
 began to rejoice

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.440
 and praise God

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:31.399
 with a loud voice

00:23:31.399 --> 00:23:32.359
 for the mighty works

00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:33.339
 that they had seen.

00:23:34.539 --> 00:23:35.920
 At a fever pitch,

00:23:36.899 --> 00:23:38.339
 the crowd welcomes

00:23:38.339 --> 00:23:39.879
 Jesus into Jerusalem

00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:41.320
 with zealous,

00:23:41.820 --> 00:23:42.760
 passionate worship

00:23:42.760 --> 00:23:43.760
 and they proclaim,

00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:45.780
 blessed is the king

00:23:45.780 --> 00:23:46.920
 who comes in the name

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.500
 of the Lord.

00:23:48.300 --> 00:23:49.100
 Peace in heaven

00:23:49.100 --> 00:23:49.820
 and glory

00:23:49.820 --> 00:23:50.900
 to the highest.

00:23:52.800 --> 00:23:53.700
 This is in fact

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.900
 the very first time

00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:55.800
 in the book of Luke

00:23:55.800 --> 00:23:57.260
 that Jesus is called

00:23:57.260 --> 00:23:57.940
 a king.

00:23:58.200 --> 00:23:59.340
 And this is the first time

00:23:59.340 --> 00:24:00.520
 that Jesus accepts

00:24:00.520 --> 00:24:01.780
 public worship

00:24:01.780 --> 00:24:02.480
 like this.

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.200
 I would do this.

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:06.539
 Compare that to the disciples

00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:07.220
 in Acts

00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:09.059
 or even the angels

00:24:09.059 --> 00:24:09.880
 in Revelation

00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:11.319
 who all rightly

00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:12.779
 reject the worship

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:13.259
 of man.

00:24:13.380 --> 00:24:14.140
 But right now

00:24:14.140 --> 00:24:15.279
 the most appropriate

00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:16.279
 thing to do

00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:17.140
 is to worship

00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:18.099
 Jesus.

00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:21.420
 The first part

00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:21.839
 of that worship

00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:22.860
 comes from Psalm

00:24:22.860 --> 00:24:24.019
 118,

00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:25.360
 part of the Hallel,

00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.180
 which was a group

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:27.200
 of Psalms

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:28.200
 from 113

00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:29.039
 to 118.

00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:30.799
 And theologian

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:31.740
 William Barclay

00:24:31.740 --> 00:24:32.940
 comments just how

00:24:32.940 --> 00:24:34.319
 deeply ingrained

00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:35.639
 these Psalms were

00:24:35.639 --> 00:24:37.099
 into their Jewish culture.

00:24:37.859 --> 00:24:38.500
 He writes,

00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:39.680
 they were part

00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:41.259
 of the first memory work

00:24:41.259 --> 00:24:42.599
 that every Jewish boy

00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:43.139
 had to do.

00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:45.879
 They were sung often

00:24:45.879 --> 00:24:47.119
 at great acts

00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:47.700
 of praise

00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:48.559
 and thanksgiving.

00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:50.920
 They were an integral

00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:52.859
 part of the Passover ritual.

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:54.720
 So it seems like

00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:55.659
 with their heart

00:24:55.659 --> 00:24:56.440
 songs

00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:58.680
 that they learned

00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:00.200
 at such a young age,

00:25:00.740 --> 00:25:01.560
 they're singing it

00:25:01.560 --> 00:25:02.299
 to the ultimate

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:02.920
 fulfillment

00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:03.840
 of Jesus.

00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:05.820
 Psalm 118

00:25:05.820 --> 00:25:06.620
 was also

00:25:06.620 --> 00:25:07.740
 traditionally sung

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:09.160
 in pre-exilic Israel

00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:10.080
 as a welcome

00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:10.980
 to the king.

00:25:13.620 --> 00:25:14.279
 Compare what

00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:14.920
 the angels

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.580
 say

00:25:15.580 --> 00:25:16.440
 at the birth

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:16.980
 of Jesus

00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:18.140
 in Luke 2.

00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:19.500
 I think this is

00:25:19.500 --> 00:25:20.360
 such a fascinating

00:25:20.360 --> 00:25:20.740
 scene

00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:21.620
 because we see

00:25:21.620 --> 00:25:23.140
 the near opposite.

00:25:24.860 --> 00:25:26.140
 The multitude

00:25:26.140 --> 00:25:27.420
 of angels

00:25:27.420 --> 00:25:29.100
 they're proclaiming

00:25:29.100 --> 00:25:30.300
 glory to God

00:25:30.300 --> 00:25:31.039
 in the highest

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:32.340
 and on earth

00:25:32.340 --> 00:25:34.080
 peace among those

00:25:34.080 --> 00:25:35.580
 with whom he is pleased.

00:25:36.840 --> 00:25:37.480
 Do you see

00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:38.560
 the contrast there?

00:25:40.560 --> 00:25:42.420
 The heavenly angels

00:25:42.420 --> 00:25:43.519
 there are looking

00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:44.640
 down and saying

00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:45.700
 peace on earth

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:46.840
 while the disciples

00:25:46.840 --> 00:25:47.380
 on earth

00:25:47.380 --> 00:25:48.200
 are looking up

00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:48.600
 to heaven

00:25:48.600 --> 00:25:48.980
 and saying

00:25:48.980 --> 00:25:50.120
 peace in heaven

00:25:50.120 --> 00:25:52.380
 all for the glory

00:25:52.380 --> 00:25:53.200
 of Jesus

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:54.240
 all for the glory

00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:54.740
 of God.

00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:56.660
 throughout his life

00:25:56.660 --> 00:25:57.960
 Jesus has united

00:25:57.960 --> 00:25:58.759
 the praise

00:25:58.759 --> 00:25:59.579
 of the earthly

00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:00.620
 of the heavenly

00:26:00.620 --> 00:26:02.200
 and it's appropriate

00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:03.559
 for every corner

00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:04.440
 of the universe

00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:05.460
 to worship

00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:06.279
 his name.

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:08.900
 And I have no doubt

00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:09.680
 in this scene

00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:10.299
 that they were

00:26:10.299 --> 00:26:11.740
 they were crying

00:26:11.740 --> 00:26:12.759
 they were laughing

00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:14.180
 they were jumping

00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:14.779
 they were hooping

00:26:14.779 --> 00:26:15.299
 and hollering

00:26:15.299 --> 00:26:16.940
 because their Messiah

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:18.099
 had come

00:26:18.099 --> 00:26:20.380
 to come establish

00:26:20.380 --> 00:26:22.440
 his earthly kingdom.

00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:24.160
 That's what they believed.

00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:27.339
 But on this side

00:26:27.339 --> 00:26:27.799
 of the cross

00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:28.440
 we know that

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:29.819
 their cries of joy

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:31.759
 will soon turn

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.839
 to cries of grief

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.839
 and disappointment

00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.039
 in five short days.

00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:38.759
 The disciples

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:39.660
 may have understood

00:26:39.660 --> 00:26:40.799
 rightly how

00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:42.039
 Zechariah 9.9

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:43.480
 predicted of

00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:44.539
 the coming Messiah

00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:46.339
 bringing salvation

00:26:46.339 --> 00:26:48.120
 but they probably

00:26:48.120 --> 00:26:49.380
 scratched their heads

00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:50.000
 when they read

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.759
 in that part

00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:51.799
 and if you could

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.359
 throw that verse

00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:52.660
 up there

00:26:52.660 --> 00:26:53.560
 they called

00:26:53.560 --> 00:26:53.960
 the Messiah

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:54.700
 the humble

00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:57.380
 in Hebrew

00:26:57.380 --> 00:26:57.779
 the word

00:26:57.779 --> 00:26:58.300
 humble

00:26:58.300 --> 00:26:59.140
 can also mean

00:26:59.140 --> 00:26:59.800
 poor

00:26:59.800 --> 00:27:01.440
 afflicted

00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:02.200
 gentle

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:03.040
 lowly

00:27:03.040 --> 00:27:05.180
 the disciples

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:06.040
 were only seeing

00:27:06.040 --> 00:27:07.400
 Christ the conqueror

00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:08.259
 not Christ

00:27:08.259 --> 00:27:09.279
 the gentle

00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:10.060
 and lowly

00:27:10.060 --> 00:27:11.140
 suffering servant

00:27:11.140 --> 00:27:13.880
 because we know

00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:14.460
 that Jesus

00:27:14.460 --> 00:27:16.220
 came to the city

00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:16.980
 of Jerusalem

00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:18.540
 not to submit

00:27:18.540 --> 00:27:19.320
 Jewish enemies

00:27:19.320 --> 00:27:20.180
 under his feet

00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:21.880
 but to wash

00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:23.360
 the feet

00:27:23.360 --> 00:27:24.580
 of his father's

00:27:24.580 --> 00:27:24.960
 enemies.

00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:27.700
 As a church

00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:28.259
 we're going through

00:27:28.259 --> 00:27:29.280
 the book of Revelation

00:27:29.280 --> 00:27:30.620
 and at Jesus'

00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:31.920
 second and final

00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:32.320
 coming

00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:33.520
 there will

00:27:33.520 --> 00:27:34.800
 be a time

00:27:34.800 --> 00:27:36.000
 where he will

00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:37.200
 come to judge

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:38.300
 and make war

00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:39.319
 where he will

00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:39.740
 subdue

00:27:39.740 --> 00:27:40.839
 all his enemies

00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:42.659
 under his feet

00:27:42.659 --> 00:27:45.220
 and so in this passage

00:27:45.220 --> 00:27:46.299
 Jesus has every

00:27:46.299 --> 00:27:46.919
 prerogative

00:27:46.919 --> 00:27:48.200
 to do the same

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:49.240
 to enter into

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:49.720
 Jerusalem

00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:50.899
 and to submit

00:27:50.899 --> 00:27:51.659
 his enemies

00:27:51.659 --> 00:27:52.720
 under his feet

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.579
 in Revelation

00:27:56.579 --> 00:27:57.440
 he comes

00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:58.299
 riding in

00:27:58.299 --> 00:27:59.000
 on a white

00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:00.059
 war horse

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:01.200
 but in Luke

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:02.220
 in this passage

00:28:02.220 --> 00:28:03.339
 he comes riding in

00:28:03.339 --> 00:28:04.299
 on a peaceful

00:28:04.299 --> 00:28:04.940
 doggy

00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:07.200
 the animal

00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:07.880
 associated

00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:08.660
 with peacetime

00:28:08.660 --> 00:28:10.660
 becomes offering

00:28:10.660 --> 00:28:11.620
 peace

00:28:11.620 --> 00:28:13.620
 his eyes

00:28:13.620 --> 00:28:14.660
 are on the mission

00:28:14.660 --> 00:28:16.259
 assigned to him

00:28:16.259 --> 00:28:17.019
 by the father

00:28:17.019 --> 00:28:18.000
 not to storm

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:18.580
 the capital

00:28:18.580 --> 00:28:19.460
 with violence

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:21.840
 establish a worldly

00:28:21.840 --> 00:28:22.240
 kingdom

00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:23.799
 but to lay down

00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:24.660
 his life

00:28:24.660 --> 00:28:26.779
 for eternal

00:28:26.779 --> 00:28:27.900
 peace for us

00:28:27.900 --> 00:28:29.460
 and to establish

00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:30.420
 his heavenly kingdom

00:28:30.420 --> 00:28:32.820
 for Christ knows

00:28:32.820 --> 00:28:33.480
 that the greatest

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:34.779
 problem in our

00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:35.599
 lives is not

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:36.220
 a peace

00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:37.180
 not a lack

00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:37.660
 of peace

00:28:37.660 --> 00:28:38.299
 politically

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:39.420
 but a lack

00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:40.019
 of peace

00:28:40.019 --> 00:28:40.860
 spiritually

00:28:40.860 --> 00:28:42.740
 scripture teaches

00:28:42.740 --> 00:28:43.279
 us that

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:44.660
 the invisible

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:45.799
 spiritual reality

00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:47.440
 that's realer

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:48.900
 than the physical

00:28:48.900 --> 00:28:49.640
 things that we see

00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:50.120
 with our own

00:28:50.120 --> 00:28:50.700
 two eyes

00:28:50.700 --> 00:28:53.059
 just imagine

00:28:53.059 --> 00:28:54.079
 standing on that

00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:54.680
 last day

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:55.720
 before your maker

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:56.759
 as he rattles

00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:58.000
 off all the ways

00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:58.660
 that you have

00:28:58.660 --> 00:28:59.319
 defamed

00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:00.740
 you've betrayed

00:29:00.740 --> 00:29:01.960
 you've forsaken

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:02.579
 his name

00:29:02.579 --> 00:29:04.399
 can you imagine

00:29:04.399 --> 00:29:06.460
 who could stand

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:07.699
 who could say

00:29:07.699 --> 00:29:08.740
 a single word

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:09.659
 in defense

00:29:09.659 --> 00:29:12.859
 those who feel

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:13.839
 overworked

00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:14.480
 crushed

00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:15.399
 oppressed

00:29:15.399 --> 00:29:16.279
 complacent

00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:16.799
 powerless

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:17.339
 and hopeless

00:29:17.339 --> 00:29:18.000
 today

00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:19.740
 they only feel

00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:20.619
 so because

00:29:20.619 --> 00:29:21.179
 they're feeling

00:29:21.179 --> 00:29:21.740
 the effects

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:22.500
 of spiritual

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:23.579
 sin and separation

00:29:23.579 --> 00:29:24.220
 from God

00:29:24.220 --> 00:29:25.599
 not just because

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:26.099
 of broken

00:29:26.099 --> 00:29:27.299
 political systems

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:29.619
 that's what

00:29:29.619 --> 00:29:30.279
 Jesus came

00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:30.879
 to fix

00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.000
 Jesus Christ

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:33.500
 the righteous

00:29:33.500 --> 00:29:33.940
 king

00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:34.860
 came offering

00:29:34.860 --> 00:29:35.680
 peace

00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:36.220
 and this

00:29:36.220 --> 00:29:37.520
 peace of God

00:29:37.520 --> 00:29:38.160
 is peace

00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:39.520
 with God

00:29:39.520 --> 00:29:42.160
 for that purpose

00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:43.180
 Christ came

00:29:43.180 --> 00:29:43.860
 to this earth

00:29:43.860 --> 00:29:44.820
 defeated all

00:29:44.820 --> 00:29:45.920
 temptation to sin

00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:47.180
 was betrayed

00:29:47.180 --> 00:29:47.840
 forsaken

00:29:47.840 --> 00:29:48.300
 beat

00:29:48.300 --> 00:29:48.920
 mocked

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:50.100
 and crucified

00:29:50.100 --> 00:29:53.380
 on our behalf

00:29:53.380 --> 00:29:55.020
 so that not

00:29:55.020 --> 00:29:56.020
 by our works

00:29:56.020 --> 00:29:57.600
 not by our acts

00:29:57.600 --> 00:29:58.460
 of hospitality

00:29:58.460 --> 00:30:00.120
 not by the quality

00:30:00.120 --> 00:30:00.799
 of our worship

00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:02.200
 or our evangelism

00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:03.620
 not by our works

00:30:03.620 --> 00:30:04.720
 but by faith

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:05.860
 are we saved

00:30:05.860 --> 00:30:09.960
 he who knew

00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:10.400
 no sin

00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:11.200
 became sin

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.700
 so that we

00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:12.400
 might become

00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:13.120
 the righteousness

00:30:13.120 --> 00:30:13.920
 of God

00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:15.539
 and notice how

00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:16.279
 Zechariah 9

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:17.180
 does not say

00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:17.860
 that we need

00:30:17.860 --> 00:30:18.620
 to go to him

00:30:18.620 --> 00:30:19.539
 it says that

00:30:19.539 --> 00:30:20.579
 Jesus comes

00:30:20.579 --> 00:30:21.259
 to us

00:30:21.259 --> 00:30:22.380
 he came not

00:30:22.380 --> 00:30:23.940
 to be served

00:30:23.940 --> 00:30:24.960
 but to serve

00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:27.160
 this is amazing

00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:27.900
 grace

00:30:27.900 --> 00:30:29.000
 oh where would

00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:29.539
 we be

00:30:29.539 --> 00:30:30.759
 without Jesus

00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:31.400
 where would

00:30:31.400 --> 00:30:31.799
 we be

00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:32.660
 without him

00:30:32.660 --> 00:30:34.539
 don't you see

00:30:34.539 --> 00:30:34.900
 how much

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:35.539
 he loved you

00:30:35.539 --> 00:30:39.220
 so today

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:40.160
 we are beyond

00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:40.799
 blessed

00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.319
 to live

00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:41.799
 between the

00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:42.200
 advents

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:43.440
 the saints

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:44.100
 of old

00:30:44.100 --> 00:30:44.539
 would have

00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:45.700
 loved

00:30:45.700 --> 00:30:46.259
 to know

00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:46.620
 the things

00:30:46.620 --> 00:30:46.940
 that we

00:30:46.940 --> 00:30:47.600
 know now

00:30:47.600 --> 00:30:48.400
 in this book

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:50.799
 we know

00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:51.180
 that Jesus

00:30:51.180 --> 00:30:52.019
 came ultimately

00:30:52.019 --> 00:30:52.880
 not to save

00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:53.160
 us

00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:54.120
 politically

00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:55.159
 but spiritually

00:30:55.159 --> 00:30:56.319
 to free us

00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:56.899
 not from the

00:30:56.899 --> 00:30:57.339
 bondage

00:30:57.339 --> 00:30:57.879
 of political

00:30:57.879 --> 00:30:58.339
 rulers

00:30:58.339 --> 00:30:58.779
 but the

00:30:58.779 --> 00:30:59.299
 bondage

00:30:59.299 --> 00:30:59.779
 of sin

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:00.500
 and death

00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:03.500
 but church

00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:03.959
 that is

00:31:03.959 --> 00:31:04.839
 the greater

00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:05.399
 miracle

00:31:05.399 --> 00:31:07.379
 isn't it

00:31:07.379 --> 00:31:08.539
 not the lesser

00:31:08.539 --> 00:31:10.819
 sin compared

00:31:10.819 --> 00:31:11.439
 to Rome

00:31:11.439 --> 00:31:12.019
 is our

00:31:12.019 --> 00:31:12.899
 greater enemy

00:31:12.899 --> 00:31:14.119
 not the lesser

00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:14.819
 isn't it

00:31:14.819 --> 00:31:16.479
 so then we

00:31:16.479 --> 00:31:17.359
 have to ask

00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:19.079
 sometimes

00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:20.199
 why isn't

00:31:20.199 --> 00:31:21.079
 our worship

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:22.259
 like the

00:31:22.259 --> 00:31:22.679
 crowds

00:31:22.679 --> 00:31:23.319
 like these

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:23.739
 disciples

00:31:23.740 --> 00:31:26.759
 when was

00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:27.059
 the last

00:31:27.059 --> 00:31:27.559
 time you

00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:28.120
 worshipped

00:31:28.120 --> 00:31:28.920
 like this

00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:31.900
 do you

00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:32.259
 worship

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:32.859
 like he

00:31:32.859 --> 00:31:33.400
 has literally

00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:34.220
 saved your

00:31:34.220 --> 00:31:34.680
 life

00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:38.200
 knowing what

00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:38.819
 we know

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:39.240
 shouldn't

00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:40.160
 our praise

00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:41.539
 our excitement

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:42.180
 our joy

00:31:42.180 --> 00:31:42.859
 exceed that

00:31:42.859 --> 00:31:43.099
 of the

00:31:43.099 --> 00:31:43.559
 crowds

00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:46.420
 Tim Keller

00:31:46.420 --> 00:31:47.120
 speaks of the

00:31:47.120 --> 00:31:47.660
 importance of

00:31:47.660 --> 00:31:48.220
 worship in this

00:31:48.220 --> 00:31:48.500
 way

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:50.759
 the secret

00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:51.819
 to freedom

00:31:51.819 --> 00:31:52.279
 from

00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:53.759
 enslaving

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:55.200
 patterns of

00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:55.759
 sin is

00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:56.299
 worship

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:57.799
 you need

00:31:57.799 --> 00:31:58.220
 worship

00:31:58.220 --> 00:31:59.920
 you need

00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:01.039
 great worship

00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:02.059
 you need

00:32:02.059 --> 00:32:03.079
 weeping worship

00:32:03.079 --> 00:32:04.099
 you need

00:32:04.099 --> 00:32:05.440
 glorious worship

00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:06.660
 you need to

00:32:06.660 --> 00:32:07.519
 sense God's

00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:08.220
 greatness and

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:08.819
 to be moved

00:32:08.819 --> 00:32:09.400
 by it

00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:10.420
 moved by

00:32:10.420 --> 00:32:11.099
 who God

00:32:11.099 --> 00:32:11.539
 is and

00:32:11.539 --> 00:32:11.859
 what he

00:32:11.859 --> 00:32:12.259
 has done

00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:12.759
 for you

00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:15.160
 I love

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:15.700
 that quote

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:16.119
 makes me

00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:16.400
 want to

00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:16.720
 worship

00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:19.680
 I wonder

00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:20.079
 if we

00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:20.519
 worship

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:20.839
 little

00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:21.440
 because we

00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:21.980
 need

00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:22.480
 little

00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.339
 our text

00:32:24.339 --> 00:32:25.420
 says that

00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:26.059
 these crowds

00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:26.599
 they worship

00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:27.099
 because they

00:32:27.099 --> 00:32:28.039
 believe in

00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:28.700
 all the

00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:29.180
 works that

00:32:29.180 --> 00:32:29.480
 he had

00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:29.759
 done

00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:31.579
 so many

00:32:31.579 --> 00:32:31.960
 of those

00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:32.420
 miracles

00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:33.220
 Jesus

00:32:33.220 --> 00:32:33.619
 helped

00:32:33.619 --> 00:32:34.940
 those who

00:32:34.940 --> 00:32:35.279
 are in

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:35.980
 desperate

00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:36.740
 need

00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:38.339
 lepers

00:32:38.339 --> 00:32:38.879
 who lost

00:32:38.879 --> 00:32:39.579
 everything

00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:41.839
 paralytics

00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:42.379
 the blind

00:32:42.379 --> 00:32:43.079
 from birth

00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:44.399
 parents

00:32:44.399 --> 00:32:45.799
 of a

00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:46.240
 deceased

00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:46.859
 child

00:32:46.859 --> 00:32:49.059
 Jesus

00:32:49.059 --> 00:32:49.879
 stepped in

00:32:49.879 --> 00:32:50.279
 where there

00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:50.980
 was no

00:32:50.980 --> 00:32:51.339
 peace

00:32:51.339 --> 00:32:52.179
 no chance

00:32:52.179 --> 00:32:53.119
 for peace

00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:53.500
 and he

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:54.059
 spoke

00:32:54.059 --> 00:32:55.119
 and everything

00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:55.960
 changed

00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:58.099
 he

00:32:58.099 --> 00:32:59.240
 they worshipped

00:32:59.240 --> 00:32:59.899
 this way

00:32:59.899 --> 00:33:00.339
 because they

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:01.079
 were desperate

00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:01.879
 for him

00:33:01.879 --> 00:33:02.439
 in other

00:33:02.439 --> 00:33:03.599
 gospel accounts

00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:04.059
 the crowds

00:33:04.059 --> 00:33:04.439
 are yelling

00:33:04.439 --> 00:33:05.220
 Hosanna

00:33:05.220 --> 00:33:06.299
 Hosanna

00:33:06.299 --> 00:33:07.059
 to the son

00:33:07.059 --> 00:33:07.619
 of David

00:33:07.619 --> 00:33:09.000
 Hosanna

00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:09.380
 literally

00:33:09.380 --> 00:33:09.960
 translates

00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:11.279
 to please

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:11.859
 save

00:33:11.859 --> 00:33:12.720
 please

00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:13.259
 save us

00:33:13.259 --> 00:33:14.799
 I beg

00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:15.079
 you to

00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:15.500
 save

00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:18.200
 are you

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:18.680
 desperate

00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:19.519
 for his

00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:19.880
 help

00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:20.819
 in the

00:33:20.819 --> 00:33:21.220
 same

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:21.680
 way

00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.319
 every

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:23.720
 morning

00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:24.200
 when I

00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:24.660
 rise

00:33:24.660 --> 00:33:25.019
 to make

00:33:25.019 --> 00:33:25.460
 Christ

00:33:25.460 --> 00:33:25.720
 my

00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:26.160
 treasure

00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:27.200
 when things

00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:27.539
 are going

00:33:27.539 --> 00:33:28.019
 well

00:33:28.019 --> 00:33:29.359
 Satan

00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:30.079
 makes

00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:30.680
 war

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:31.059
 against

00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:31.500
 me

00:33:31.500 --> 00:33:33.200
 to make

00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:33.799
 me forget

00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:34.259
 my need

00:33:34.259 --> 00:33:34.759
 of Jesus

00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.000
 when things

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:37.339
 are going

00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:37.859
 bad

00:33:37.859 --> 00:33:38.400
 and I'm

00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:38.720
 having

00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:40.039
 I'm

00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:40.259
 having

00:33:40.259 --> 00:33:40.759
 a tough

00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:41.299
 time

00:33:41.299 --> 00:33:42.319
 Satan

00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:42.600
 makes

00:33:42.600 --> 00:33:43.000
 war

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.299
 against

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:43.500
 me

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:43.940
 by making

00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:44.100
 me

00:33:44.100 --> 00:33:44.360
 forget

00:33:44.360 --> 00:33:44.600
 that

00:33:44.600 --> 00:33:44.900
 Jesus

00:33:44.900 --> 00:33:45.559
 alone

00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:46.120
 meets

00:33:46.120 --> 00:33:46.380
 my

00:33:46.380 --> 00:33:46.860
 needs

00:33:46.860 --> 00:33:49.640
 retired

00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:50.220
 pastor

00:33:50.220 --> 00:33:50.500
 John

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:50.799
 Piper

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:51.440
 in such

00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:51.579
 a

00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:51.799
 call

00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:51.920
 for

00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:52.100
 way

00:33:52.100 --> 00:33:52.400
 as he

00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:53.440
 as he

00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:53.700
 always

00:33:53.700 --> 00:33:54.019
 does

00:33:54.019 --> 00:33:54.460
 states

00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:55.140
 the need

00:33:55.140 --> 00:33:55.740
 to fight

00:33:55.740 --> 00:33:56.220
 for faith

00:33:56.220 --> 00:33:56.779
 every morning

00:33:56.779 --> 00:33:57.220
 he writes

00:33:57.220 --> 00:33:58.380
 I feel

00:33:58.380 --> 00:33:58.759
 like I

00:33:58.759 --> 00:33:59.059
 have to

00:33:59.059 --> 00:33:59.200
 get

00:33:59.200 --> 00:33:59.600
 saved

00:33:59.600 --> 00:34:00.079
 every

00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:00.519
 morning

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:01.460
 I

00:34:01.460 --> 00:34:01.799
 wake

00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:02.019
 up

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:02.360
 and the

00:34:02.360 --> 00:34:02.860
 devil

00:34:02.860 --> 00:34:03.180
 is

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:03.640
 sitting

00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:04.240
 on my

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:04.819
 face

00:34:04.819 --> 00:34:07.359
 that's

00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:07.679
 why we

00:34:07.679 --> 00:34:07.919
 have to

00:34:07.919 --> 00:34:08.239
 put our

00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:08.559
 phones

00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:09.139
 down

00:34:09.139 --> 00:34:10.360
 to lay

00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:10.579
 our

00:34:10.579 --> 00:34:11.219
 distractions

00:34:11.219 --> 00:34:11.920
 aside

00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:12.799
 and examine

00:34:12.799 --> 00:34:13.159
 if our

00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:13.460
 hearts

00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:14.400
 are appropriately

00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:15.099
 needing

00:34:15.099 --> 00:34:15.679
 Jesus

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:19.079
 and when we

00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:19.599
 are rightly

00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:20.119
 needy we

00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:20.619
 know that

00:34:20.619 --> 00:34:21.039
 there is

00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:21.900
 no problem

00:34:21.900 --> 00:34:22.719
 too great

00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:23.319
 for us to

00:34:23.319 --> 00:34:24.000
 bring before

00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:24.440
 the king

00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:25.000
 of peace

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:26.599
 whether it's

00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:27.199
 a struggling

00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:28.299
 relationship

00:34:28.299 --> 00:34:29.519
 depression

00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:30.759
 anxiety

00:34:30.759 --> 00:34:31.279
 a lack

00:34:31.279 --> 00:34:31.980
 of job

00:34:31.980 --> 00:34:34.219
 loneliness

00:34:34.219 --> 00:34:34.920
 anger

00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:35.400
 habitual

00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:36.019
 sins

00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:36.659
 Jesus

00:34:36.659 --> 00:34:37.880
 can perform

00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:38.880
 miracles

00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:39.480
 in your

00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:40.000
 life

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:42.599
 and while

00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:43.119
 we pray

00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:43.639
 for miracles

00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:44.119
 we don't

00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:44.740
 make the

00:34:44.740 --> 00:34:45.300
 same mistakes

00:34:45.300 --> 00:34:45.760
 that these

00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:46.539
 crowds did

00:34:46.539 --> 00:34:47.280
 that these

00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:48.099
 disciples do

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:49.019
 no we have

00:34:49.019 --> 00:34:49.579
 faith to

00:34:49.579 --> 00:34:50.440
 trust that

00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:51.159
 his spiritual

00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:51.699
 blessings

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:53.420
 far outweigh

00:34:53.420 --> 00:34:54.840
 his temporal

00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:55.800
 physical ones

00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:57.340
 so we turn

00:34:57.340 --> 00:34:57.740
 to him

00:34:57.740 --> 00:34:58.440
 because in

00:34:58.440 --> 00:34:59.119
 him we find

00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:00.159
 every spiritual

00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:00.659
 blessing

00:35:00.659 --> 00:35:01.940
 he is able

00:35:01.940 --> 00:35:02.800
 to do far

00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:03.480
 more abundantly

00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:05.720
 than we ask

00:35:05.720 --> 00:35:06.780
 or think

00:35:06.780 --> 00:35:09.740
 Charles Spurgeon

00:35:09.740 --> 00:35:10.320
 succinctly

00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:10.760
 proclaimed

00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:12.119
 I have a

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:12.840
 great need

00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:13.619
 for Christ

00:35:13.619 --> 00:35:14.780
 I have a

00:35:14.780 --> 00:35:15.780
 great Christ

00:35:15.780 --> 00:35:16.420
 for my

00:35:16.420 --> 00:35:16.820
 need

00:35:16.820 --> 00:35:19.579
 that's how

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:19.940
 we can

00:35:19.940 --> 00:35:20.720
 worship Jesus

00:35:20.720 --> 00:35:21.840
 with great

00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:22.220
 worship

00:35:22.220 --> 00:35:23.159
 with weeping

00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:23.599
 worship

00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:24.639
 with glorious

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:25.440
 worship

00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:28.940
 but when we

00:35:28.940 --> 00:35:29.519
 worship like

00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:29.980
 this the

00:35:29.980 --> 00:35:30.880
 king's enemies

00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:31.960
 hates

00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:33.079
 hates it

00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:33.760
 they hate

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:34.059
 when we

00:35:34.059 --> 00:35:34.559
 worship like

00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:34.860
 this

00:35:34.860 --> 00:35:36.260
 we see that

00:35:36.260 --> 00:35:36.760
 even here

00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:37.079
 with the

00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:37.720
 Jewish leaders

00:35:37.720 --> 00:35:38.559
 the Pharisees

00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:39.119
 the final

00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:39.700
 actors in

00:35:39.700 --> 00:35:40.099
 this scene

00:35:40.099 --> 00:35:41.900
 they reject

00:35:41.900 --> 00:35:42.760
 Jesus'

00:35:43.180 --> 00:35:43.880
 message of

00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:44.440
 the kingship

00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:45.660
 while the

00:35:45.660 --> 00:35:46.320
 crowds are

00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:46.840
 calling him

00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:47.340
 king

00:35:47.340 --> 00:35:49.380
 they refuse

00:35:49.380 --> 00:35:49.920
 to do the

00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:50.200
 same

00:35:50.200 --> 00:35:51.320
 they call him

00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:52.039
 a simple

00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:52.539
 rabbi

00:35:52.539 --> 00:35:53.300
 just like

00:35:53.300 --> 00:35:53.539
 them

00:35:53.539 --> 00:35:53.880
 and say

00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:54.559
 teacher

00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:55.380
 rebuke

00:35:55.380 --> 00:35:55.840
 your

00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:56.400
 disciples

00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:59.260
 now some

00:35:59.260 --> 00:35:59.700
 believe that

00:35:59.700 --> 00:36:00.380
 this request

00:36:00.380 --> 00:36:01.019
 of the

00:36:01.019 --> 00:36:01.440
 Pharisees

00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:02.039
 comes out

00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:02.380
 of a

00:36:02.380 --> 00:36:02.840
 genuine

00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:03.360
 concern

00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:03.920
 that this

00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:04.640
 mob

00:36:04.640 --> 00:36:05.119
 might turn

00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:05.400
 into

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:06.460
 a political

00:36:06.460 --> 00:36:07.039
 riot

00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:08.660
 one that

00:36:08.660 --> 00:36:09.140
 the Romans

00:36:09.140 --> 00:36:09.619
 might only

00:36:09.619 --> 00:36:10.000
 be too

00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:10.680
 happy to

00:36:10.680 --> 00:36:11.539
 squash

00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:11.880
 with their

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.280
 military

00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:12.619
 might

00:36:12.619 --> 00:36:13.980
 but could

00:36:13.980 --> 00:36:14.720
 be motivating

00:36:14.720 --> 00:36:15.400
 their request

00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:16.519
 but throughout

00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:17.280
 the book

00:36:17.280 --> 00:36:17.760
 of Luke

00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:18.579
 Jesus has

00:36:18.579 --> 00:36:19.420
 been constantly

00:36:19.420 --> 00:36:20.079
 sparring

00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:21.760
 with the

00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:22.320
 Pharisees

00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:24.100
 and at

00:36:24.100 --> 00:36:24.519
 this point

00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:25.320
 they are

00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:25.880
 rebuked

00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:26.280
 for their

00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:26.900
 love of

00:36:26.900 --> 00:36:27.300
 the praise

00:36:27.300 --> 00:36:27.820
 of man

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:28.620
 their blindness

00:36:28.620 --> 00:36:29.039
 to the

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:29.480
 times

00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:30.380
 their obedience

00:36:30.380 --> 00:36:31.240
 to man-made

00:36:31.240 --> 00:36:32.180
 trivialities

00:36:32.180 --> 00:36:32.680
 over the

00:36:32.680 --> 00:36:33.200
 law of

00:36:33.200 --> 00:36:33.519
 God

00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:34.760
 so they

00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:35.480
 are hurt

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:35.960
 they are

00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:36.400
 offended

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:36.860
 they are

00:36:36.860 --> 00:36:37.320
 angry

00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:37.760
 and they're

00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:38.320
 envious

00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:39.240
 of Jesus

00:36:39.240 --> 00:36:41.039
 so

00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:42.460
 yes

00:36:42.460 --> 00:36:43.260
 they could

00:36:43.260 --> 00:36:43.740
 be afraid

00:36:43.740 --> 00:36:44.180
 of Roman

00:36:44.180 --> 00:36:44.580
 conquest

00:36:44.580 --> 00:36:45.940
 but so

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:46.500
 much of

00:36:46.500 --> 00:36:47.080
 their motivation

00:36:47.080 --> 00:36:47.720
 I believe

00:36:47.720 --> 00:36:48.460
 is out of

00:36:48.460 --> 00:36:49.260
 envy

00:36:49.260 --> 00:36:50.820
 in John's

00:36:50.820 --> 00:36:51.140
 account

00:36:51.140 --> 00:36:51.820
 he records

00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:52.300
 them saying

00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:52.700
 to each

00:36:52.700 --> 00:36:52.960
 other

00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:53.860
 you see

00:36:53.860 --> 00:36:54.200
 that you

00:36:54.200 --> 00:36:54.580
 are gaining

00:36:54.580 --> 00:36:55.000
 nothing

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:55.680
 look

00:36:55.680 --> 00:36:56.519
 the world

00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:57.060
 has gone

00:36:57.060 --> 00:36:58.019
 after him

00:36:58.019 --> 00:37:00.240
 who here

00:37:00.240 --> 00:37:01.920
 would have

00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:03.019
 the audacity

00:37:03.019 --> 00:37:04.560
 that during

00:37:04.560 --> 00:37:05.280
 Sunday worship

00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:06.320
 they're upset

00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:07.120
 they're bitter

00:37:07.120 --> 00:37:08.860
 have an upset

00:37:08.860 --> 00:37:09.600
 face because

00:37:09.600 --> 00:37:10.720
 all these people

00:37:10.720 --> 00:37:12.000
 they're worshiping

00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:12.380
 Jesus

00:37:12.380 --> 00:37:12.860
 not

00:37:12.860 --> 00:37:14.000
 not him

00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:15.360
 not her

00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.880
 who would have

00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:18.539
 the audacity

00:37:18.539 --> 00:37:19.180
 the hubris

00:37:19.180 --> 00:37:19.800
 to do that

00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:21.080
 yet exactly

00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:21.980
 that's what

00:37:21.980 --> 00:37:22.579
 the pharisees

00:37:22.579 --> 00:37:22.980
 are doing

00:37:22.980 --> 00:37:25.219
 so Jesus

00:37:25.219 --> 00:37:26.219
 defends his

00:37:26.219 --> 00:37:26.799
 disciples

00:37:26.799 --> 00:37:27.579
 by saying

00:37:27.579 --> 00:37:28.340
 I tell you

00:37:28.340 --> 00:37:28.960
 if these

00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:29.739
 were silent

00:37:29.739 --> 00:37:30.579
 the stones

00:37:30.579 --> 00:37:31.639
 would cry out

00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:33.980
 now have you

00:37:33.980 --> 00:37:34.380
 guys ever

00:37:34.380 --> 00:37:34.940
 heard of the

00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:35.380
 insult

00:37:35.380 --> 00:37:36.960
 you're as

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:37.360
 dumb as a

00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:37.599
 rock

00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:39.699
 I hope you

00:37:39.699 --> 00:37:40.460
 haven't heard

00:37:40.460 --> 00:37:41.079
 that recently

00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:42.019
 or told that

00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:42.519
 to anybody

00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:43.000
 recently

00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:44.259
 but

00:37:44.259 --> 00:37:45.420
 essentially

00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:47.139
 Jesus is

00:37:47.139 --> 00:37:48.380
 encapsulating

00:37:48.380 --> 00:37:49.119
 that message

00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:50.380
 to the

00:37:50.380 --> 00:37:50.920
 pharisees

00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:51.280
 right

00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:53.400
 he's saying

00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:53.800
 to these

00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:54.700
 well-esteemed

00:37:54.700 --> 00:37:55.960
 highly educated

00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:56.700
 pharisees

00:37:56.700 --> 00:37:58.539
 these uneducated

00:37:58.539 --> 00:37:59.780
 these unpolished

00:37:59.780 --> 00:38:00.360
 disciples

00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:00.980
 know better

00:38:00.980 --> 00:38:01.680
 than you

00:38:01.680 --> 00:38:04.280
 they are in the

00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:04.480
 right

00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:04.960
 in fact

00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:06.000
 these stones

00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:07.539
 these inanimate

00:38:07.539 --> 00:38:08.280
 objects

00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:09.500
 with no brains

00:38:09.500 --> 00:38:10.139
 they know

00:38:10.139 --> 00:38:11.180
 better than you

00:38:11.179 --> 00:38:14.239
 the pharisees

00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:14.980
 fail to see

00:38:14.980 --> 00:38:15.559
 with eyes

00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:16.119
 of faith

00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:16.919
 who Jesus

00:38:16.919 --> 00:38:17.279
 is

00:38:17.279 --> 00:38:17.719
 he is the

00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:18.099
 king of the

00:38:18.099 --> 00:38:18.339
 jews

00:38:18.339 --> 00:38:18.559
 yes

00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:19.139
 but he is

00:38:19.139 --> 00:38:20.059
 the king

00:38:20.059 --> 00:38:20.440
 of the

00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:20.960
 cosmos

00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:23.119
 all of the

00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:23.559
 universe

00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:24.379
 knows to

00:38:24.379 --> 00:38:25.039
 worship him

00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:27.440
 and because

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:27.819
 of their

00:38:27.819 --> 00:38:28.440
 unbelief

00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:29.359
 Jesus draws

00:38:29.359 --> 00:38:30.159
 near to the

00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:30.919
 city of

00:38:30.919 --> 00:38:31.359
 Jerusalem

00:38:31.359 --> 00:38:32.239
 and he

00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:32.819
 weeps

00:38:32.819 --> 00:38:33.799
 over it

00:38:33.799 --> 00:38:35.419
 such a

00:38:35.419 --> 00:38:36.279
 such a

00:38:36.279 --> 00:38:36.940
 powerful scene

00:38:36.940 --> 00:38:38.059
 this is one

00:38:38.059 --> 00:38:38.699
 of the last

00:38:38.699 --> 00:38:39.559
 things that

00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:41.000
 you would expect

00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:41.639
 Jesus to do

00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:42.280
 after receiving

00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:43.420
 such exuberant

00:38:43.420 --> 00:38:43.920
 praise

00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:46.320
 and it's a

00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:46.920
 rare occurrence

00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:47.440
 because Jesus

00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:48.480
 only weeps

00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:49.380
 three times

00:38:49.380 --> 00:38:49.900
 in all of

00:38:49.900 --> 00:38:50.260
 scripture

00:38:50.260 --> 00:38:51.340
 but here

00:38:51.340 --> 00:38:52.059
 Jesus isn't

00:38:52.059 --> 00:38:52.579
 weeping

00:38:52.579 --> 00:38:53.500
 over his

00:38:53.500 --> 00:38:54.519
 really close

00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:55.059
 friends

00:38:55.059 --> 00:38:56.280
 Mount Martha

00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:57.239
 or Lazarus

00:38:57.239 --> 00:38:58.219
 he's weeping

00:38:58.219 --> 00:38:58.599
 over the

00:38:58.599 --> 00:38:59.400
 people that

00:38:59.400 --> 00:38:59.920
 will drive

00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:00.780
 nails through

00:39:00.780 --> 00:39:01.260
 his hands

00:39:01.260 --> 00:39:01.739
 and feet

00:39:01.739 --> 00:39:04.360
 so while

00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:05.179
 his rebukes

00:39:05.179 --> 00:39:05.699
 of the

00:39:05.699 --> 00:39:06.199
 pharisees

00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:07.539
 may have

00:39:07.539 --> 00:39:08.420
 been strong

00:39:08.420 --> 00:39:09.420
 no one can

00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:10.380
 say that

00:39:10.380 --> 00:39:10.900
 he did not

00:39:10.900 --> 00:39:11.380
 love them

00:39:11.380 --> 00:39:13.680
 like a

00:39:13.680 --> 00:39:14.900
 loving parent

00:39:14.900 --> 00:39:15.900
 seeing their

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:16.599
 child go

00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:17.519
 down a

00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:18.059
 path to

00:39:18.059 --> 00:39:18.639
 destruction

00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:19.840
 he weeps

00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:20.579
 over them

00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:23.240
 he already

00:39:23.240 --> 00:39:23.860
 knows and

00:39:23.860 --> 00:39:24.340
 laments that

00:39:24.340 --> 00:39:24.660
 they have

00:39:24.660 --> 00:39:25.980
 rejected him

00:39:25.980 --> 00:39:27.280
 just like

00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:27.860
 they've rejected

00:39:27.860 --> 00:39:28.740
 many of the

00:39:28.740 --> 00:39:29.440
 prophets of

00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:29.840
 old

00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:32.039
 he knows that

00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:32.900
 they're extremely

00:39:32.900 --> 00:39:33.920
 hardened hearts

00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:35.579
 out of that

00:39:35.579 --> 00:39:36.400
 God has

00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:37.320
 judged them

00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:38.180
 and blinded

00:39:38.180 --> 00:39:39.180
 them to be

00:39:39.180 --> 00:39:39.639
 able to see

00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:40.079
 the things

00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:40.339
 that would

00:39:40.339 --> 00:39:40.819
 make for

00:39:40.819 --> 00:39:41.279
 peace

00:39:41.279 --> 00:39:43.879
 and just

00:39:43.879 --> 00:39:44.219
 like the

00:39:44.219 --> 00:39:44.900
 ot prophets

00:39:44.900 --> 00:39:45.679
 like jeremiah

00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:46.299
 or elijah

00:39:46.299 --> 00:39:47.440
 jesus he

00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:48.019
 weeps and

00:39:48.019 --> 00:39:48.779
 this word is

00:39:48.779 --> 00:39:49.579
 an emotional

00:39:49.579 --> 00:39:50.219
 word it's a

00:39:50.219 --> 00:39:50.779
 heavy word

00:39:50.779 --> 00:39:51.359
 it's not a

00:39:51.359 --> 00:39:52.079
 pretty cry

00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:52.879
 it's a

00:39:52.879 --> 00:39:53.579
 sobbing

00:39:53.579 --> 00:39:54.059
 it's a

00:39:54.059 --> 00:39:54.619
 heaving

00:39:54.619 --> 00:39:58.179
 he wanted

00:39:58.179 --> 00:39:58.659
 them to

00:39:58.659 --> 00:39:59.339
 know the

00:39:59.339 --> 00:39:59.819
 peace

00:39:59.819 --> 00:40:01.319
 he wanted

00:40:01.319 --> 00:40:01.839
 them to

00:40:01.839 --> 00:40:02.599
 know how

00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:03.039
 much he

00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:03.779
 loved them

00:40:03.779 --> 00:40:04.839
 and it's

00:40:04.839 --> 00:40:05.559
 ironic that

00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:06.259
 jerusalem

00:40:06.259 --> 00:40:07.299
 the name

00:40:07.299 --> 00:40:07.759
 meaning the

00:40:07.759 --> 00:40:08.159
 city of

00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:08.539
 peace has

00:40:08.539 --> 00:40:10.440
 rejected what

00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:11.019
 would have

00:40:11.019 --> 00:40:11.799
 made peace

00:40:11.799 --> 00:40:12.299
 for them

00:40:12.299 --> 00:40:14.980
 in the same

00:40:14.980 --> 00:40:15.519
 way it could

00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:16.019
 be said that

00:40:16.019 --> 00:40:16.659
 jesus weeps

00:40:16.659 --> 00:40:17.460
 over all

00:40:17.460 --> 00:40:18.859
 who reject

00:40:18.859 --> 00:40:19.359
 him today

00:40:19.359 --> 00:40:20.000
 because he

00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:21.059
 wants all

00:40:21.059 --> 00:40:23.219
 to come to

00:40:23.219 --> 00:40:23.900
 full life

00:40:23.900 --> 00:40:24.500
 in him

00:40:24.500 --> 00:40:26.739
 are we as

00:40:26.739 --> 00:40:27.619
 followers of

00:40:27.619 --> 00:40:28.360
 jesus do the

00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:28.639
 same

00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:30.579
 to weep over

00:40:30.579 --> 00:40:31.279
 the lost in

00:40:31.279 --> 00:40:31.880
 this world

00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:33.920
 are we pray

00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:34.400
 with the

00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:35.440
 weeping burden

00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:36.199
 over our

00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:37.119
 lost co-workers

00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:38.059
 our family

00:40:38.059 --> 00:40:39.099
 our friends

00:40:39.099 --> 00:40:39.940
 this city

00:40:39.940 --> 00:40:40.679
 this nation

00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:41.559
 this world

00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:44.539
 according to

00:40:44.539 --> 00:40:45.259
 joshua project

00:40:45.259 --> 00:40:45.940
 there are over

00:40:45.940 --> 00:40:47.599
 three billion

00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:48.559
 people

00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:50.039
 i can't even

00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:51.460
 wrap my mind

00:40:51.460 --> 00:40:52.000
 around this

00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:52.559
 i'm intimidated

00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:53.199
 in preaching to

00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:54.219
 just 70 people

00:40:54.219 --> 00:40:56.059
 three billion

00:40:56.059 --> 00:40:57.360
 people

00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:59.179
 who do not

00:40:59.179 --> 00:41:00.360
 know christ

00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:02.279
 who are unreached

00:41:02.279 --> 00:41:03.259
 with the gospel

00:41:03.259 --> 00:41:06.460
 may we continue

00:41:06.460 --> 00:41:07.139
 to grow

00:41:07.139 --> 00:41:09.219
 in our love

00:41:09.219 --> 00:41:10.079
 for the lost

00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:11.179
 that we can

00:41:11.179 --> 00:41:11.960
 express our

00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:12.480
 love through

00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:13.259
 tears

00:41:13.259 --> 00:41:16.719
 because the

00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:17.779
 jews did not

00:41:17.779 --> 00:41:18.480
 know the time

00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:18.699
 of their

00:41:18.699 --> 00:41:19.340
 visitation

00:41:19.340 --> 00:41:20.860
 jesus predicts

00:41:20.860 --> 00:41:22.000
 a very dark

00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:22.420
 day in

00:41:22.420 --> 00:41:22.880
 jerusalem's

00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:23.219
 future

00:41:23.219 --> 00:41:24.799
 in this

00:41:24.799 --> 00:41:25.400
 he even

00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:25.980
 corrects his

00:41:25.980 --> 00:41:26.819
 disciples who

00:41:26.819 --> 00:41:27.400
 think that he's

00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:28.179
 come to build

00:41:28.179 --> 00:41:28.840
 an earthly

00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:29.159
 kingdom

00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:29.639
 that's not

00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:30.019
 what he's

00:41:30.019 --> 00:41:30.299
 come to

00:41:30.299 --> 00:41:30.539
 doing

00:41:30.539 --> 00:41:31.299
 that's clear

00:41:31.299 --> 00:41:31.659
 from his

00:41:31.659 --> 00:41:32.119
 prophecy

00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:33.599
 he predicts

00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:34.059
 a terrible

00:41:34.059 --> 00:41:34.980
 siege of

00:41:34.980 --> 00:41:35.960
 jerusalem

00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:37.219
 the location

00:41:37.219 --> 00:41:37.779
 of the

00:41:37.779 --> 00:41:38.119
 temple

00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:40.299
 just as

00:41:40.299 --> 00:41:40.960
 every word

00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:41.599
 of jesus's

00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:42.339
 command to

00:41:42.339 --> 00:41:42.799
 fetch the

00:41:42.799 --> 00:41:43.359
 donkey came

00:41:43.359 --> 00:41:43.980
 true every

00:41:43.980 --> 00:41:44.940
 word we

00:41:44.940 --> 00:41:45.519
 know came

00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:45.960
 true of

00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:47.000
 this prophecy

00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:48.679
 we already

00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:49.380
 talked about

00:41:49.380 --> 00:41:50.259
 the political

00:41:50.259 --> 00:41:51.199
 tensions between

00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:52.259
 judea and

00:41:52.259 --> 00:41:52.839
 rome and that

00:41:52.839 --> 00:41:53.639
 did not stop

00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:54.779
 after jesus died

00:41:54.779 --> 00:41:56.000
 in 33 a.d

00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:58.380
 we know that

00:41:58.380 --> 00:41:59.799
 33 years later

00:41:59.799 --> 00:42:01.099
 in 66 a.d

00:42:01.099 --> 00:42:03.259
 that there

00:42:03.259 --> 00:42:03.940
 were tensions

00:42:03.940 --> 00:42:05.559
 over taxes

00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:06.239
 over money

00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:07.099
 as seems

00:42:07.099 --> 00:42:07.679
 like everything

00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:08.139
 is about

00:42:08.139 --> 00:42:08.559
 fighting over

00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:08.819
 money

00:42:08.819 --> 00:42:10.900
 roman leaders

00:42:10.900 --> 00:42:11.360
 then they

00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:12.279
 would plunder

00:42:12.279 --> 00:42:14.279
 the temple

00:42:14.279 --> 00:42:15.299
 treasury which

00:42:15.299 --> 00:42:16.400
 the zealots

00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:17.400
 did not like

00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:18.599
 so they

00:42:18.599 --> 00:42:19.659
 started a war

00:42:19.659 --> 00:42:20.279
 for seven

00:42:20.279 --> 00:42:21.460
 bloody years

00:42:21.460 --> 00:42:23.980
 in the middle

00:42:23.980 --> 00:42:24.440
 of the war

00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:25.299
 during 70

00:42:25.299 --> 00:42:25.779
 a.d

00:42:25.779 --> 00:42:27.319
 rome besieged

00:42:27.319 --> 00:42:27.940
 jerusalem

00:42:27.940 --> 00:42:28.739
 meaning their

00:42:28.739 --> 00:42:29.799
 armies surrounded

00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:31.140
 the city

00:42:31.140 --> 00:42:31.940
 walls and

00:42:31.940 --> 00:42:32.800
 prevented anyone

00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:34.000
 in or out

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.580
 they starved

00:42:36.580 --> 00:42:37.240
 the city to

00:42:37.240 --> 00:42:39.120
 death and

00:42:39.120 --> 00:42:39.620
 according to

00:42:39.620 --> 00:42:40.440
 josephus the

00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:41.500
 jewish historian

00:42:41.500 --> 00:42:42.560
 starvation was

00:42:42.560 --> 00:42:43.440
 so bad that

00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:44.360
 one million

00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:45.400
 jews had

00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:47.380
 perished they

00:42:47.380 --> 00:42:47.760
 couldn't even

00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:48.440
 bury the body

00:42:48.440 --> 00:42:49.100
 so they had to

00:42:49.100 --> 00:42:50.340
 just toss them

00:42:50.340 --> 00:42:50.900
 over the city

00:42:50.900 --> 00:42:51.360
 walls

00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:54.860
 worst of all

00:42:54.860 --> 00:42:55.360
 to the jews

00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:55.920
 the romans

00:42:55.920 --> 00:42:57.120
 eventually broke

00:42:57.120 --> 00:42:57.880
 in and

00:42:57.880 --> 00:42:58.960
 destroyed

00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:00.420
 laid waste

00:43:00.420 --> 00:43:01.000
 to their

00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:01.559
 temple

00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:02.460
 their consecrated

00:43:02.460 --> 00:43:02.880
 temple

00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:04.380
 jerusalem was

00:43:04.380 --> 00:43:04.980
 supposed to be

00:43:04.980 --> 00:43:05.659
 the abode

00:43:05.659 --> 00:43:06.300
 of god

00:43:06.300 --> 00:43:08.800
 untouchable

00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:09.440
 territory

00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:10.679
 but as

00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:12.079
 israel was

00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:13.099
 exiled by

00:43:13.099 --> 00:43:14.420
 assyria

00:43:14.420 --> 00:43:15.119
 by by

00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:15.740
 babylon

00:43:15.740 --> 00:43:16.400
 in the past

00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:16.900
 in the ot

00:43:16.900 --> 00:43:18.820
 god definitively

00:43:18.820 --> 00:43:19.539
 displayed

00:43:19.539 --> 00:43:20.539
 his covenant

00:43:20.539 --> 00:43:21.280
 wrath against

00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:21.740
 israel

00:43:21.740 --> 00:43:23.179
 but the

00:43:23.179 --> 00:43:23.679
 christians

00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:24.199
 in 70

00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:24.460
 80

00:43:24.460 --> 00:43:27.559
 church

00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:27.880
 history

00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:28.599
 records that

00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:29.260
 they believed

00:43:29.260 --> 00:43:30.199
 jesus's warnings

00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:31.559
 in luke 21

00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:32.940
 to flee to the

00:43:32.940 --> 00:43:33.900
 mountains and

00:43:33.900 --> 00:43:34.619
 they escaped

00:43:34.619 --> 00:43:36.099
 they fled the

00:43:36.099 --> 00:43:37.340
 misery of this

00:43:37.340 --> 00:43:38.059
 starvation

00:43:38.059 --> 00:43:38.940
 across the

00:43:38.940 --> 00:43:39.500
 jordan river

00:43:39.500 --> 00:43:40.500
 in time and

00:43:40.500 --> 00:43:41.220
 established the

00:43:41.220 --> 00:43:42.360
 church in

00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:42.619
 pelle

00:43:42.619 --> 00:43:46.699
 it's been said

00:43:46.699 --> 00:43:47.320
 that the most

00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:48.340
 important thing

00:43:48.340 --> 00:43:49.179
 about a person

00:43:49.179 --> 00:43:50.320
 more than your

00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:50.780
 income

00:43:50.780 --> 00:43:52.760
 more than your

00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:53.460
 nationality

00:43:53.460 --> 00:43:54.480
 your personality

00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:56.700
 your accomplishments

00:43:56.700 --> 00:43:57.700
 is what you

00:43:57.700 --> 00:43:58.400
 make of

00:43:58.400 --> 00:43:58.920
 jesus

00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:01.940
 this passage

00:44:01.940 --> 00:44:02.680
 paints this

00:44:02.680 --> 00:44:03.280
 truth into

00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:03.780
 reality

00:44:03.780 --> 00:44:06.280
 jesus is

00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:07.180
 proclaiming the

00:44:07.180 --> 00:44:07.840
 unambiguous

00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:08.840
 message that he

00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:10.060
 is the king

00:44:10.060 --> 00:44:10.620
 of peace

00:44:10.620 --> 00:44:11.120
 the king of

00:44:11.120 --> 00:44:11.720
 the cosmos

00:44:11.720 --> 00:44:14.140
 but what

00:44:14.140 --> 00:44:14.760
 happens to

00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:15.180
 those who

00:44:15.180 --> 00:44:15.800
 reject him

00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:17.600
 he'll weep

00:44:17.600 --> 00:44:18.380
 over you

00:44:18.380 --> 00:44:23.039
 this historical

00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:23.660
 event is a

00:44:23.660 --> 00:44:24.460
 warning of the

00:44:24.460 --> 00:44:25.440
 greater judgment

00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:26.640
 day to come

00:44:26.640 --> 00:44:29.539
 and that final

00:44:29.539 --> 00:44:30.619
 day he will

00:44:51.559 --> 00:44:52.399
 your visitation

00:44:52.399 --> 00:44:54.839
 will you pledge

00:44:54.839 --> 00:44:55.519
 your allegiance

00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:56.339
 to the king

00:45:00.619 --> 00:45:02.839
