WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.980
 everyone in his word, and everyone needs to hear what God has to say. And so it's with that that

00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:10.259
 we turn. We're in Luke chapter 19 today. If you've been with us, you know that we've been

00:00:10.259 --> 00:00:14.599
 in the book of Nehemiah, and we're going to finish the book of Nehemiah. Don't worry, I'm not

00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.000
 ending early just because there's one more list of names.

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.980
 But because this is Palm Sunday, and we're looking forward to Easter next week, we're going to take

00:00:23.980 --> 00:00:30.780
 a quick jump out to remember the final week, Jesus before his death and his resurrection.

00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:37.719
 And as we come to this passage in the gospel of Luke, this is in Luke chapter 19, but it was all

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:43.340
 the way back in Luke chapter 9 that we found out that Jesus, the author of Luke, tells us that he

00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:50.600
 set his face towards Jerusalem. In other words, Jesus set his intentions, his desire, his purpose

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.939
 was to make it to Jerusalem for this very reason that he would die for the sins of his people.

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:01.660
 And so as he's going along for the last 10 chapters in the gospel of Luke, as he's teaching,

00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:10.620
 as he is healing, as he's performing miracles, all of it is in the context of him heading towards

00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:15.960
 Jerusalem. All of it is towards his purpose of heading towards Jerusalem. While many people might

00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:22.099
 think or say that they believe that Jesus is a good man or a great teacher, it would be an insult to

00:01:22.099 --> 00:01:31.359
 Jesus to say that he was just teaching or performing out of context. When the author of Luke tells us

00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:38.859
 over and over again, not just in chapter 9, but then in chapter 13 and 17 and 18, that Jesus slowly and

00:01:38.859 --> 00:01:46.859
 steadily, as he teaches, as he interacts with people, has one mission. And that is to make it all the way

00:01:46.859 --> 00:01:54.319
 to Jerusalem. And the reason he is there is so that he can die for his people. Now even as Jesus is making

00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:58.599
 this journey, many people still misunderstand, even his followers misunderstand where we're picking up.

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:05.680
 We're going to start in verse 28 of chapter 19, and Jesus has just told another parable right before it.

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.280
 And in that parable at the beginning, in verse 11, tells us that he told them a parable because he was

00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:17.960
 near to Jerusalem, so he's on his way to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God

00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:24.319
 was to appear immediately. In other words, as Jesus was going around preaching and teaching, as he was

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:29.980
 making his way to Jerusalem, while he knew what he was heading towards, there were many people who believed

00:02:29.980 --> 00:02:33.700
 that the kingdom that he was teaching about was something that was going to happen immediately.

00:02:33.699 --> 00:02:40.060
 Once Jesus came and entered Jerusalem, he was going to give them the political victory that they longed for.

00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.219
 He was going to overthrow the Roman Empire.

00:02:44.119 --> 00:02:46.819
 Every form of oppression that they experienced would be broken.

00:02:48.459 --> 00:02:51.219
 And so Jesus has just told them a parable to try

00:02:51.219 --> 00:02:53.439
 to lower their expectations,

00:02:54.139 --> 00:02:57.879
 that they would know that the kingdom is not going to appear

00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.479
 immediately. Everything that he's come to bring, everything they want and long for,

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:06.479
 is not going to happen in that moment, just because Jesus is entering Jerusalem.

00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:10.679
 As we come to this passage, the triumphal entry,

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.259
 the time when Jesus actually enters the city that he is

00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:16.359
 the king of, the city of Jerusalem,

00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.539
 we're going to see two things. First of all, that Jesus is much less

00:03:20.539 --> 00:03:22.079
 than we want.

00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.339
 Jesus is much less than we want.

00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:31.479
 We're also going to see that Jesus is more than we could imagine.

00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:34.819
 He's less than we want on the one hand,

00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:37.240
 and he's more than we could imagine on the other.

00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.780
 On the one hand, he does not meet our expectations.

00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:44.920
 On the other hand, he greatly exceeds them.

00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.500
 And so it's with that that we turn to Luke chapter 9,

00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:49.500
 starting at verse 28.

00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:52.240
 You can follow along if you're with your worship guide.

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:53.039
 It's near the end.

00:03:53.099 --> 00:03:54.539
 You can follow along on your phone.

00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:56.659
 You can follow along in your Bibles.

00:03:56.780 --> 00:03:57.479
 But we're going to start.

00:03:57.740 --> 00:04:00.819
 And remember as we come to this passage that this is God's word.

00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.340
 And God tells us that his word is more precious than gold,

00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:07.139
 even the finest gold,

00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.659
 and that it is sweeter than honey,

00:04:10.420 --> 00:04:12.879
 even honey that comes straight from the honeycomb.

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.000
 And so it's with that reminder that we begin in verse 28.

00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.240
 And when he had said these things,

00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.899
 he went on ahead going up to Jerusalem.

00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.259
 When he drew near to Bethpage and Bethany

00:04:26.259 --> 00:04:28.000
 at the mount that is called Olivet,

00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:30.259
 he sent two of the disciples saying,

00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:31.920
 Go into the village in front of you,

00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.379
 where on entering you will find a colt tied

00:04:34.379 --> 00:04:36.620
 on which no one has ever yet sat.

00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:38.980
 Untie it and bring it here.

00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:41.560
 If anyone asks you,

00:04:41.939 --> 00:04:43.420
 Why are you untying it?

00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:44.500
 You shall say this,

00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.480
 The Lord has need of it.

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:49.079
 So those who were sent went away

00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.920
 and found it just as he had told them.

00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.259
 And as they were untying the colt,

00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:54.399
 its owner said to them,

00:04:54.860 --> 00:04:56.680
 Why are you untying the colt?

00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:58.500
 Verse 34.

00:04:59.180 --> 00:05:00.180
 And they said,

00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:01.500
 The Lord has need of it.

00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:03.560
 And they brought it to Jesus,

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.600
 and throwing their cloaks on the colt,

00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:07.000
 they set Jesus on it.

00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:09.060
 And as he rode along,

00:05:09.139 --> 00:05:10.740
 they spread their cloaks on the road.

00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:12.800
 As he was drawing near,

00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.500
 already on the way down the Mount of Olives,

00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:17.839
 the whole multitude of his disciples

00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.019
 began to rejoice and praise God

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:21.079
 with a loud voice

00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.759
 for all the mighty works that they had seen,

00:05:24.459 --> 00:05:24.819
 saying,

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.240
 Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord.

00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.139
 Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

00:05:32.060 --> 00:05:34.939
 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him,

00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:36.759
 Teacher, rebuke your disciples.

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:38.500
 He answered,

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:39.100
 Lord, I tell you,

00:05:39.699 --> 00:05:40.920
 if these were silent,

00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:43.920
 the very stones would cry out.

00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.240
 Please pray with me as we come to this portion of God's word.

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:53.279
 Dear Father in heaven,

00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.560
 we thank you that Jesus is a king,

00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.680
 and he's not just a king,

00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:00.560
 but he is the king.

00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.560
 We ask that you would come this morning,

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.879
 and you would help us to see him,

00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:10.340
 even as he doesn't meet our expectations,

00:06:10.340 --> 00:06:11.780
 as a king that is greater,

00:06:12.340 --> 00:06:13.240
 and more glorious,

00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.139
 and more beautiful than any other king.

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:20.160
 And that we would be willing to follow him,

00:06:20.540 --> 00:06:21.480
 and have faith in him,

00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:22.360
 and trust him,

00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.660
 and obey him for the rest of our lives.

00:06:25.580 --> 00:06:27.860
 We ask these things in Jesus' name.

00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:28.939
 Amen.

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:32.960
 At the beginning of this passage,

00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:35.580
 Jesus is finishing his journey to Jerusalem.

00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:37.060
 He is approaching from the east,

00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:38.580
 heading west.

00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:42.280
 That's what's happening as he draws near here to Bethpage and Bethany.

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.040
 This is a suburb on the east side of Jerusalem.

00:06:45.420 --> 00:06:46.640
 So he's completing his journey.

00:06:46.700 --> 00:06:47.480
 He's traveling in.

00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:51.060
 And he sends his disciples ahead of him,

00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:52.879
 because what he's about to do is

00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.340
 enter the king of Jerusalem,

00:06:54.660 --> 00:06:55.780
 like a king.

00:06:57.280 --> 00:06:59.280
 The Romans were very familiar with

00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:01.040
 a conquering king coming in

00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.600
 to the city of Jerusalem,

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:05.200
 or any city really,

00:07:05.260 --> 00:07:06.340
 after that they had finished

00:07:06.340 --> 00:07:07.480
 a time of war,

00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:08.500
 after they'd vanquished someone,

00:07:08.580 --> 00:07:10.100
 they would come in with their triumph.

00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.240
 And so that's why this is called the triumphal entry,

00:07:12.320 --> 00:07:13.680
 because Jesus is acting here

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.160
 like a Roman king

00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.200
 coming with his victory behind him.

00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:20.240
 And so he does what a king would do.

00:07:20.320 --> 00:07:21.740
 He sends his disciples to find

00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:22.960
 something for him to ride on.

00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.339
 And since he is the king

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:27.019
 and everything belongs to him,

00:07:27.419 --> 00:07:28.560
 he has no problem with him

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:29.719
 taking the donkey,

00:07:29.799 --> 00:07:30.439
 this colt here,

00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.259
 from whoever they need it from.

00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:34.599
 In fact,

00:07:34.659 --> 00:07:35.519
 he anticipates that

00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:36.419
 someone's going to ask them

00:07:36.419 --> 00:07:37.359
 why it is that they are

00:07:37.359 --> 00:07:38.240
 taking this away.

00:07:38.419 --> 00:07:39.259
 And this answer

00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:40.159
 seems to be sufficient,

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:40.719
 just to say,

00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:41.720
 the Lord has need of it.

00:07:42.380 --> 00:07:42.820
 And of course,

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:44.000
 that's exactly what they say

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.240
 in verse 33.

00:07:45.760 --> 00:07:46.580
 The owners ask them,

00:07:46.640 --> 00:07:47.860
 why are you taking our colt?

00:07:48.760 --> 00:07:49.280
 He says,

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:49.500
 well,

00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:50.540
 the Lord has need of it.

00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:52.380
 And no further explanation

00:07:52.380 --> 00:07:52.780
 is needed,

00:07:52.820 --> 00:07:53.860
 because this is a king

00:07:53.860 --> 00:07:55.180
 who is taking his property.

00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.160
 Everything belongs to him,

00:07:57.200 --> 00:07:58.340
 because this is his kingdom.

00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:02.520
 And then they continue

00:08:02.520 --> 00:08:03.660
 to treat Jesus as a king,

00:08:03.760 --> 00:08:04.820
 throwing their cloaks down

00:08:04.820 --> 00:08:05.600
 on the donkey,

00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:07.300
 throwing their cloaks down

00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:07.759
 on the road.

00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:08.480
 They're giving him

00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.400
 a sign of submission.

00:08:10.060 --> 00:08:11.400
 This is how they show a king

00:08:11.400 --> 00:08:12.259
 that he is the one

00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:13.379
 who rules over them.

00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:14.520
 Now,

00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.660
 it doesn't specifically use

00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:16.579
 the word donkey here.

00:08:16.620 --> 00:08:17.160
 In this passage,

00:08:17.220 --> 00:08:18.079
 it just says a colt,

00:08:18.420 --> 00:08:19.319
 but we know from the other

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:20.280
 gospel accounts

00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:21.180
 that this is the colt

00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:21.660
 of a donkey.

00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:23.900
 And this is what Jesus

00:08:23.900 --> 00:08:25.220
 is going to ride in

00:08:25.220 --> 00:08:27.759
 as he comes in his triumphal entry

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:29.019
 into the city that is his,

00:08:29.100 --> 00:08:29.980
 the city over which

00:08:29.980 --> 00:08:31.000
 he is supposed to be a king.

00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:33.460
 And we don't see it explicitly

00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:34.259
 in this passage,

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:34.980
 but we also know

00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:36.019
 from the other gospels

00:08:36.019 --> 00:08:37.279
 that he is the king

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.779
 people come,

00:08:37.819 --> 00:08:38.500
 as our children did

00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:39.179
 earlier this morning,

00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:39.939
 with palm branches

00:08:39.939 --> 00:08:40.819
 to lay before him.

00:08:41.699 --> 00:08:42.779
 And so while the cloaks

00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:43.799
 were a sign of their submission

00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:44.639
 to him as a king,

00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:45.319
 the palm branches

00:08:45.319 --> 00:08:46.899
 were a sign of Jewish pride

00:08:46.899 --> 00:08:47.620
 and nationalism.

00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:50.600
 In other words,

00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:51.919
 as they threw these palm branches

00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:52.360
 down

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.339
 and they threw these cloaks down,

00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:57.480
 believing that the kingdom

00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:58.199
 was near,

00:08:58.279 --> 00:08:59.199
 that it was going to come

00:08:59.199 --> 00:08:59.699
 immediately,

00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:00.860
 as I mentioned

00:09:00.860 --> 00:09:02.000
 in verse 11 before,

00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:04.100
 the hope

00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:05.559
 and the desire

00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:06.500
 and the expectation

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:07.419
 is that Jesus,

00:09:07.620 --> 00:09:08.519
 as he comes in,

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:10.000
 is going to make

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.519
 Israel great again.

00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:15.419
 They're putting down

00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:16.919
 the sign of Jewish nationalism.

00:09:19.139 --> 00:09:19.860
 They've been under

00:09:19.860 --> 00:09:20.600
 Roman rule

00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:21.720
 for too long.

00:09:23.139 --> 00:09:24.179
 They've never been able

00:09:24.179 --> 00:09:25.139
 to restore

00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:26.440
 their political boundaries

00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:27.299
 after the exile.

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:30.080
 And so the hope

00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:30.799
 and the celebration

00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:32.320
 is that Jesus would come

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:33.299
 and finally make,

00:09:33.299 --> 00:09:33.879
 politically,

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:35.439
 everything right.

00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:39.779
 And just as their

00:09:39.779 --> 00:09:41.319
 expectations are off,

00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:43.459
 Jesus' entry

00:09:43.459 --> 00:09:45.159
 is off as well.

00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:46.939
 Just as their

00:09:46.939 --> 00:09:48.240
 expectations are wrong,

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:49.399
 Jesus' entry

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:50.099
 into Jerusalem

00:09:50.099 --> 00:09:51.139
 is also wrong.

00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:53.079
 Because while he's

00:09:53.079 --> 00:09:54.000
 following the pattern

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:54.939
 of a Roman general,

00:09:55.719 --> 00:09:57.179
 he's made one mistake.

00:09:57.179 --> 00:10:00.620
 If you're a Roman general,

00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:01.739
 you don't come in

00:10:01.739 --> 00:10:02.819
 riding the cult

00:10:02.819 --> 00:10:03.599
 of a donkey.

00:10:05.219 --> 00:10:05.699
 Instead,

00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:06.379
 you come in

00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:07.939
 riding a mighty war horse.

00:10:10.579 --> 00:10:11.620
 And so while Jesus

00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:12.899
 is playing into

00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:14.799
 this known

00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.919
 pattern on the one hand,

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.339
 he is disrupting it

00:10:18.339 --> 00:10:19.759
 and disappointing it

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.399
 on the other.

00:10:21.419 --> 00:10:22.199
 He's signaling

00:10:22.199 --> 00:10:23.039
 what his disciples

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.240
 will not fully understand

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:25.319
 until after his resurrection,

00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:26.240
 which is that he is

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:27.300
 a very different

00:10:27.300 --> 00:10:27.940
 kind of king.

00:10:29.340 --> 00:10:30.860
 He is not entering

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:31.760
 into Jerusalem

00:10:31.760 --> 00:10:32.820
 to conquer it

00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:34.360
 on a war horse.

00:10:35.400 --> 00:10:35.840
 Instead,

00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:36.480
 he's entering

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:37.260
 on a donkey

00:10:37.260 --> 00:10:38.020
 because instead of

00:10:38.020 --> 00:10:38.660
 conquering it,

00:10:38.700 --> 00:10:39.840
 he is going to die.

00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:43.879
 And so while the crowds

00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:44.520
 right now

00:10:44.520 --> 00:10:45.680
 are cheering him on,

00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:47.740
 there will come a time

00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:48.580
 in just a few days

00:10:48.580 --> 00:10:49.160
 where instead

00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:50.160
 the crowds

00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:50.800
 will cry out

00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:51.680
 for him to be crucified.

00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.699
 And while they

00:10:54.699 --> 00:10:55.879
 don't realize it

00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.299
 now,

00:10:58.219 --> 00:11:00.519
 this is a king

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:01.659
 and a donkey

00:11:01.659 --> 00:11:02.559
 and an entry

00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:03.039
 that will be

00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:03.500
 very,

00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.719
 very disappointing.

00:11:07.719 --> 00:11:08.679
 They are looking

00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:09.939
 for the fall of Rome

00:11:09.939 --> 00:11:11.120
 and that is not

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:11.979
 going to happen.

00:11:13.659 --> 00:11:15.059
 At least not right now.

00:11:16.319 --> 00:11:17.079
 And so we have

00:11:17.079 --> 00:11:18.059
 a bunch of crowds here,

00:11:18.139 --> 00:11:18.859
 people cheering on

00:11:18.859 --> 00:11:19.799
 that either are

00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:20.419
 right now

00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:22.500
 or will very soon

00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:23.379
 be disappointed

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:24.359
 in Jesus.

00:11:29.019 --> 00:11:30.379
 Have you ever been

00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:32.099
 disappointed

00:11:32.099 --> 00:11:32.959
 in Jesus?

00:11:38.699 --> 00:11:39.639
 Maybe you started

00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:40.379
 following Jesus

00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:40.919
 and you thought

00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:41.579
 that if you were

00:11:41.579 --> 00:11:42.399
 just a Christian,

00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:43.819
 if you were obedient,

00:11:44.719 --> 00:11:45.819
 it would guarantee

00:11:45.819 --> 00:11:47.620
 that your children

00:11:47.620 --> 00:11:48.579
 would not make

00:11:48.580 --> 00:11:49.800
 horrific mistakes.

00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:53.080
 Maybe you thought

00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:53.780
 that if you followed

00:11:53.780 --> 00:11:54.620
 Jesus and you were

00:11:54.620 --> 00:11:55.560
 faithful and obedient,

00:11:55.700 --> 00:11:56.220
 it would mean

00:11:56.220 --> 00:11:57.000
 that you could

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:57.780
 actually be

00:11:57.780 --> 00:11:58.340
 on the winning

00:11:58.340 --> 00:11:59.160
 side of every

00:11:59.160 --> 00:11:59.500
 argument.

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:02.040
 You could always

00:12:02.040 --> 00:12:02.560
 be right.

00:12:04.660 --> 00:12:05.360
 Maybe you thought

00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:06.320
 that if you followed

00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:06.840
 Jesus,

00:12:07.520 --> 00:12:08.800
 you could be a part

00:12:08.800 --> 00:12:09.820
 of taking back

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:11.100
 America for God.

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:14.820
 Maybe you thought

00:12:14.820 --> 00:12:15.780
 that following Jesus

00:12:15.780 --> 00:12:16.700
 meant that Jesus

00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:17.620
 would provide you

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:19.019
 a marriage in which

00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:20.039
 there was no baggage.

00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:24.720
 Maybe you thought

00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:25.560
 that following

00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:26.220
 after Jesus

00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:27.399
 meant that your life

00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:28.320
 would not be confusing

00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:28.759
 anymore.

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:29.700
 You would always

00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:30.759
 know the next thing

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.120
 to do.

00:12:32.580 --> 00:12:33.720
 You would always

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:34.960
 know the right path

00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:35.940
 to take and the right

00:12:35.940 --> 00:12:36.820
 decision to make.

00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:38.940
 Maybe you thought

00:12:38.940 --> 00:12:39.460
 that following

00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:40.179
 after Jesus,

00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:41.220
 that Jesus being

00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:42.080
 the king meant

00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:42.620
 that you would

00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:43.440
 not face

00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:44.680
 devastating

00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:45.719
 heartbreak

00:12:45.719 --> 00:12:46.739
 and loss

00:12:46.739 --> 00:12:48.219
 in this life.

00:12:54.219 --> 00:12:55.099
 Jesus can,

00:12:55.219 --> 00:12:55.739
 at times,

00:12:56.739 --> 00:12:57.620
 be very,

00:12:57.779 --> 00:12:58.839
 very disappointing.

00:13:00.979 --> 00:13:01.899
 When we long

00:13:01.899 --> 00:13:02.859
 for him to come

00:13:02.859 --> 00:13:04.179
 in on a war horse,

00:13:04.439 --> 00:13:05.679
 often he comes in

00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:06.759
 instead on a donkey.

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.460
 Jesus is not

00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:10.860
 interested

00:13:10.860 --> 00:13:12.539
 in giving you

00:13:12.539 --> 00:13:13.419
 your best life

00:13:13.419 --> 00:13:13.740
 now.

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:17.259
 Jesus is not

00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:17.860
 interested in

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:18.539
 taking back

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:19.779
 America for God.

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:21.419
 That is,

00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:22.059
 one country,

00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:22.679
 one area,

00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:23.200
 one nation.

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:23.720
 That's actually

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:24.639
 too small of a

00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:25.340
 vision for God.

00:13:26.819 --> 00:13:27.319
 He wasn't

00:13:27.319 --> 00:13:27.939
 interested in

00:13:27.939 --> 00:13:28.639
 taking back

00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:29.740
 Jerusalem for God

00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:30.379
 from the Romans.

00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:34.740
 Jesus is not

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.500
 interested in

00:13:35.500 --> 00:13:36.059
 the political

00:13:36.059 --> 00:13:37.519
 power that

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:38.139
 so many

00:13:38.139 --> 00:13:38.620
 Christians

00:13:38.620 --> 00:13:39.480
 long for.

00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:41.960
 In fact,

00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:42.480
 this is part

00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:42.779
 of what's

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:43.259
 happening in

00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:43.860
 this chapter

00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:44.340
 is that they

00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:45.000
 believe that

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:45.700
 Jesus is going

00:13:45.700 --> 00:13:46.460
 to bring in

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:47.080
 a political

00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:47.759
 kingdom for

00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:47.940
 them.

00:13:49.259 --> 00:13:49.659
 He's going

00:13:49.659 --> 00:13:50.360
 to do away

00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:50.740
 with the

00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:51.019
 Romans.

00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:53.700
 And the

00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:54.159
 problem isn't

00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:54.519
 that their

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:55.320
 expectations are

00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:55.799
 too high,

00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:56.200
 it's that they're

00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:56.759
 too low.

00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:58.559
 Jesus is

00:13:58.559 --> 00:13:59.259
 interested in

00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:00.279
 so much more

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:00.860
 than the

00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:01.460
 Roman Empire.

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.039
 And so what

00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:04.899
 we want to

00:14:04.899 --> 00:14:05.480
 happen in

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:06.019
 the short

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:06.379
 term,

00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:08.300
 Jesus has

00:14:08.300 --> 00:14:09.039
 decided is

00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:09.360
 going to

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:09.720
 happen in

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:10.100
 the long

00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:10.360
 term.

00:14:11.659 --> 00:14:12.200
 Jesus is

00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:12.920
 not going

00:14:12.920 --> 00:14:13.620
 to fix

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:14.480
 everything

00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.100
 right now.

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:17.899
 And so

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:18.519
 Jesus often

00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:19.200
 comes in

00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.000
 on a donkey

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.820
 when what

00:14:21.820 --> 00:14:22.240
 we want

00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:22.960
 is a king

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:23.440
 on a war

00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:23.779
 horse.

00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:28.259
 If you

00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:28.740
 are not

00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:29.220
 a Christian,

00:14:29.460 --> 00:14:29.800
 if you're

00:14:29.800 --> 00:14:30.220
 someone who

00:14:30.220 --> 00:14:31.060
 has doubts

00:14:31.060 --> 00:14:31.940
 and questions

00:14:31.940 --> 00:14:32.519
 and objections

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:33.379
 about Christianity,

00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:34.180
 this might be

00:14:34.180 --> 00:14:34.600
 part of the

00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:34.879
 reason,

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:36.180
 that Jesus

00:14:36.180 --> 00:14:36.639
 is

00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:37.139
 disappointing.

00:14:40.139 --> 00:14:40.920
 If you

00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:42.779
 think that

00:14:42.779 --> 00:14:43.680
 following after

00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:44.440
 a savior,

00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:45.100
 a man,

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:46.300
 who rather

00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:46.740
 than being

00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:47.259
 politically

00:14:47.259 --> 00:14:47.940
 victorious,

00:14:48.139 --> 00:14:48.540
 died,

00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:50.220
 and then

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:50.680
 some people

00:14:50.680 --> 00:14:51.440
 claim raised

00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:51.899
 from the dead,

00:14:51.940 --> 00:14:52.340
 if you think

00:14:52.340 --> 00:14:53.139
 that is foolish,

00:14:53.920 --> 00:14:54.240
 you know what

00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:54.620
 the apostle

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:55.259
 Paul says?

00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:57.620
 He says,

00:14:57.680 --> 00:14:58.040
 you're right.

00:14:58.680 --> 00:14:59.440
 Some people

00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:00.139
 think this is

00:15:00.139 --> 00:15:00.860
 really foolish

00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:02.379
 because it

00:15:02.379 --> 00:15:03.019
 goes against

00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:03.899
 everything that

00:15:03.899 --> 00:15:04.379
 this world

00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:05.100
 wants and

00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:05.580
 expects.

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:07.639
 Oftentimes,

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:08.960
 the gospel

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:09.779
 also looks

00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:10.419
 like a donkey

00:15:10.419 --> 00:15:11.240
 when we want

00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:11.919
 a war horse.

00:15:14.699 --> 00:15:15.080
 And so

00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:15.480
 as Paul

00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:15.919
 tells us

00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:16.559
 in 1 Corinthians

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:16.960
 1,

00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:17.519
 Jesus and

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:17.980
 the gospel

00:15:17.980 --> 00:15:18.679
 are on the

00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:18.960
 one hand

00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:19.379
 a joke

00:15:19.379 --> 00:15:19.779
 to some

00:15:19.779 --> 00:15:20.100
 people,

00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:21.840
 they're foolish

00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:22.659
 and offensive

00:15:22.659 --> 00:15:23.279
 to others,

00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.000
 and at

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:26.299
 the heart

00:15:26.299 --> 00:15:26.459
 of it,

00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:26.839
 what Jesus

00:15:26.839 --> 00:15:27.339
 does here

00:15:27.339 --> 00:15:27.759
 does not

00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:28.259
 make sense

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:28.679
 to us.

00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:31.179
 If you

00:15:31.179 --> 00:15:31.819
 find that

00:15:31.819 --> 00:15:32.139
 it is

00:15:32.139 --> 00:15:32.699
 disappointing

00:15:32.699 --> 00:15:33.519
 and foolish

00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.839
 to think

00:15:34.839 --> 00:15:35.240
 that a

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:35.779
 place where

00:15:35.779 --> 00:15:36.379
 people come

00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:36.779
 together

00:15:36.779 --> 00:15:38.100
 and sing

00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:38.559
 songs

00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:39.699
 and read

00:15:39.699 --> 00:15:40.199
 an ancient

00:15:40.199 --> 00:15:40.899
 book together

00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:43.159
 is actually

00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:43.519
 the most

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.459
 powerful place

00:15:44.459 --> 00:15:45.100
 in the world,

00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:47.959
 then I

00:15:47.959 --> 00:15:48.439
 understand.

00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:51.179
 If you

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:51.740
 believe that

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:52.159
 a place

00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:52.539
 where people

00:15:52.539 --> 00:15:53.079
 come together

00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:53.540
 and sing

00:15:53.540 --> 00:15:53.900
 songs

00:15:53.900 --> 00:15:54.280
 and read

00:15:54.280 --> 00:15:54.660
 an ancient

00:15:54.660 --> 00:15:55.180
 book is

00:15:55.180 --> 00:15:55.520
 the most

00:15:55.520 --> 00:15:56.379
 powerful place

00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:57.000
 in the world,

00:15:57.420 --> 00:15:57.780
 then I

00:15:57.780 --> 00:15:58.139
 understand

00:15:58.139 --> 00:15:58.620
 because it

00:15:58.620 --> 00:15:59.320
 looks a lot

00:15:59.320 --> 00:15:59.900
 like a donkey.

00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:04.379
 We long

00:16:04.379 --> 00:16:05.100
 for a

00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:05.620
 war horse.

00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.100
 And so

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:08.680
 Jesus is

00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:09.100
 often

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:10.080
 disappointing.

00:16:11.280 --> 00:16:11.740
 He's going

00:16:11.740 --> 00:16:12.360
 to disappoint

00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:13.379
 many people

00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:14.020
 in the next

00:16:14.020 --> 00:16:14.460
 week of his

00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:14.740
 life.

00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.320
 He's going

00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:17.520
 to be

00:16:17.520 --> 00:16:18.000
 confusing

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:18.420
 for the

00:16:18.420 --> 00:16:18.840
 disciples

00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:20.980
 when he

00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:21.400
 dies.

00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:22.860
 He

00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:24.860
 is

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:25.179
 risen

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:25.519
 from the

00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:25.759
 dead.

00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:29.000
 And so

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:29.459
 Jesus is

00:16:29.459 --> 00:16:30.299
 often much

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:31.459
 less than

00:16:31.459 --> 00:16:31.939
 we want

00:16:31.939 --> 00:16:32.819
 or expect.

00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:38.559
 The problem

00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:38.980
 is that

00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:39.439
 Jesus is

00:16:39.439 --> 00:16:40.539
 also a

00:16:40.539 --> 00:16:40.899
 king.

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:42.779
 And while

00:16:42.779 --> 00:16:43.159
 on the one

00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:43.579
 hand he's

00:16:43.579 --> 00:16:44.059
 disappointing,

00:16:44.860 --> 00:16:46.079
 on the other

00:16:46.079 --> 00:16:46.579
 hand he is

00:16:46.579 --> 00:16:47.240
 more than we

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:47.620
 could ever

00:16:47.620 --> 00:16:48.059
 imagine.

00:16:48.059 --> 00:16:50.199
 he disappoints

00:16:50.199 --> 00:16:51.759
 us with

00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:51.899
 our

00:16:51.899 --> 00:16:52.500
 expectations.

00:16:53.239 --> 00:16:53.679
 He also

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:54.739
 surprises us

00:16:54.739 --> 00:16:55.500
 when he

00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:56.199
 exceeds our

00:16:56.199 --> 00:16:56.859
 expectations.

00:16:57.379 --> 00:16:58.279
 That he is a

00:16:58.279 --> 00:16:59.139
 greater king

00:16:59.139 --> 00:17:00.279
 than they

00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:00.879
 could expect.

00:17:01.959 --> 00:17:02.579
 That while

00:17:02.579 --> 00:17:03.219
 they want the

00:17:03.219 --> 00:17:03.859
 Roman Empire

00:17:03.859 --> 00:17:04.440
 to be thrown

00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:05.319
 over and

00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:05.940
 turned down,

00:17:07.299 --> 00:17:07.839
 Jesus has

00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:08.839
 so much

00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:09.740
 more in

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:10.039
 mind.

00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:11.519
 He has not

00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:12.079
 been journeying

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:12.639
 for ten

00:17:12.639 --> 00:17:13.119
 chapters

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:14.700
 towards Jerusalem

00:17:14.700 --> 00:17:15.179
 for the

00:17:15.179 --> 00:17:16.619
 small and

00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:17.339
 piddly goal

00:17:17.339 --> 00:17:18.039
 of overthrowing

00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:18.339
 the Roman

00:17:18.339 --> 00:17:18.740
 Empire.

00:17:22.859 --> 00:17:23.399
 And so

00:17:23.399 --> 00:17:23.659
 while we

00:17:23.659 --> 00:17:23.959
 have these

00:17:23.959 --> 00:17:24.639
 crowds praising

00:17:24.639 --> 00:17:24.980
 him,

00:17:26.159 --> 00:17:26.839
 some of them

00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:27.299
 disappointed,

00:17:27.419 --> 00:17:28.019
 others know

00:17:28.019 --> 00:17:28.980
 what Jesus

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:29.500
 is capable

00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:29.879
 of.

00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:31.839
 He's not

00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:32.019
 going to

00:17:32.019 --> 00:17:32.459
 overthrow the

00:17:32.459 --> 00:17:32.919
 Roman Empire

00:17:32.919 --> 00:17:33.599
 but he can

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.319
 raise people

00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:34.599
 from the

00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:34.799
 dead.

00:17:36.159 --> 00:17:36.619
 He did that

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:37.279
 with Lazarus

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:37.599
 in John

00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:38.279
 chapter 11.

00:17:38.959 --> 00:17:39.559
 He can

00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:40.720
 heal the

00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.279
 blind and

00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:41.639
 the mute.

00:17:43.439 --> 00:17:43.619
 And so

00:17:43.619 --> 00:17:43.899
 that's what

00:17:43.899 --> 00:17:44.539
 we see in

00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:45.299
 verse 37

00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:45.959
 and 38.

00:17:47.339 --> 00:17:48.519
 the whole

00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:49.079
 multitude of

00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:49.579
 his disciples

00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:50.119
 began to

00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:50.779
 rejoice and

00:17:50.779 --> 00:17:51.500
 praise God

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.240
 with a loud

00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:52.879
 voice for

00:17:52.879 --> 00:17:53.439
 all the

00:17:53.439 --> 00:17:54.139
 mighty works

00:17:54.139 --> 00:17:54.459
 that they

00:17:54.459 --> 00:17:55.000
 had seen.

00:17:56.919 --> 00:17:57.559
 In other

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:57.720
 words,

00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:58.059
 while these

00:17:58.059 --> 00:17:58.519
 people were

00:17:58.519 --> 00:17:58.879
 at times

00:17:58.879 --> 00:17:59.740
 confused about

00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:00.000
 Jesus'

00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:00.659
 mission and

00:18:00.659 --> 00:18:01.240
 his purposes,

00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:02.179
 they were

00:18:02.179 --> 00:18:03.179
 there when

00:18:03.179 --> 00:18:03.559
 he raised

00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:04.139
 Lazarus from

00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:04.500
 the dead.

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:06.399
 They were

00:18:06.399 --> 00:18:06.879
 there when

00:18:06.879 --> 00:18:07.159
 he gave

00:18:07.159 --> 00:18:07.599
 the blind

00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:08.199
 man sight.

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:10.240
 They were

00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:10.720
 there when

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:11.319
 he made

00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:12.059
 a lame

00:18:12.059 --> 00:18:12.720
 man walk.

00:18:13.919 --> 00:18:14.879
 They knew

00:18:14.879 --> 00:18:15.819
 how powerful

00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:16.819
 Jesus was.

00:18:18.159 --> 00:18:18.740
 They just

00:18:18.740 --> 00:18:18.919
 didn't

00:18:18.919 --> 00:18:19.740
 understand how

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:20.000
 he was

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:20.399
 going to

00:18:20.399 --> 00:18:20.960
 use his

00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:21.259
 power.

00:18:22.859 --> 00:18:23.039
 And so

00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:23.399
 they cry

00:18:23.399 --> 00:18:23.779
 out in

00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:24.419
 verse 38,

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:24.919
 blessed is

00:18:24.919 --> 00:18:25.259
 the king

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:25.779
 who comes

00:18:25.779 --> 00:18:26.019
 in the

00:18:26.019 --> 00:18:26.319
 name of

00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:26.679
 the Lord,

00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:27.339
 peace in

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:27.839
 heaven and

00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:28.319
 glory in

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:28.799
 the highest.

00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:29.799
 And they're

00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:30.159
 right.

00:18:32.659 --> 00:18:33.059
 They're

00:18:33.059 --> 00:18:33.579
 right that

00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:34.159
 Jesus is

00:18:34.159 --> 00:18:34.700
 more,

00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:36.359
 much more

00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:36.740
 than they

00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:37.299
 could ever

00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:38.059
 imagine or

00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:38.819
 expect or

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:39.159
 think.

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:43.059
 He's not

00:18:43.059 --> 00:18:43.279
 going to

00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:43.679
 bring them

00:18:43.679 --> 00:18:44.279
 the liberation

00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:44.680
 that they

00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:45.039
 want,

00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:46.240
 but he

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:46.579
 is going

00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:46.859
 to bring

00:18:46.859 --> 00:18:47.119
 them the

00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:47.519
 liberation

00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:47.899
 that they

00:18:47.899 --> 00:18:48.180
 need.

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:49.539
 He's not

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:50.000
 going to

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:50.759
 overthrow the

00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.379
 Roman Empire,

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:51.940
 but he is

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:52.379
 going to

00:18:52.379 --> 00:18:53.200
 overthrow the

00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:54.460
 power and

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:55.039
 penalty of

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:55.399
 sin in

00:18:55.399 --> 00:18:55.879
 their lives.

00:18:56.639 --> 00:18:57.299
 He's not

00:18:57.299 --> 00:18:57.759
 going to

00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:58.240
 reign and

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:58.839
 rule over

00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:00.519
 one country

00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:01.279
 or one

00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:01.639
 nation,

00:19:02.220 --> 00:19:03.099
 but he is

00:19:03.099 --> 00:19:03.599
 coming so

00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:04.200
 that one

00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:04.720
 day he

00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:05.160
 will rule

00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:05.879
 over every

00:19:05.879 --> 00:19:06.779
 country and

00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:07.519
 every nation.

00:19:09.099 --> 00:19:09.440
 And so

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:10.059
 their hopes

00:19:10.059 --> 00:19:11.799
 are simply

00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:12.740
 not high

00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:13.139
 enough.

00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:15.080
 because Jesus

00:19:15.080 --> 00:19:16.300
 is less

00:19:16.300 --> 00:19:16.660
 than the

00:19:16.660 --> 00:19:17.040
 king they

00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:17.840
 expect because

00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:18.220
 he comes

00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:18.580
 in on a

00:19:18.580 --> 00:19:18.880
 donkey.

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.400
 He's also

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:21.100
 more than

00:19:21.100 --> 00:19:21.460
 the king

00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:22.020
 they expect,

00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:22.540
 not just

00:19:22.540 --> 00:19:22.960
 because of

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:23.540
 his works,

00:19:24.060 --> 00:19:24.759
 but because

00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.200
 of what we

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:25.820
 find out at

00:19:25.820 --> 00:19:26.160
 the very

00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:26.520
 end.

00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:28.880
 This last

00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:29.860
 verse here

00:19:29.860 --> 00:19:30.100
 of our

00:19:30.100 --> 00:19:30.520
 section is

00:19:30.520 --> 00:19:30.759
 what I

00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:32.100
 think is

00:19:32.100 --> 00:19:32.640
 maybe one

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:32.820
 of the

00:19:32.820 --> 00:19:33.540
 most astounding

00:19:33.540 --> 00:19:34.259
 claims in

00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:34.600
 all of the

00:19:34.600 --> 00:19:35.040
 Gospels.

00:19:36.780 --> 00:19:37.820
 The Pharisees,

00:19:38.300 --> 00:19:38.540
 Jesus'

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:39.180
 opponents,

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:41.779
 upset by

00:19:41.779 --> 00:19:42.160
 the fact

00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:42.480
 that he's

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:43.259
 being praised,

00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.539
 come and

00:19:46.539 --> 00:19:46.960
 tell him

00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:47.640
 to tell his

00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:48.340
 disciples to

00:19:48.340 --> 00:19:48.980
 sit down

00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:49.500
 and be

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:49.860
 quiet.

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:51.400
 Verse 39,

00:19:52.060 --> 00:19:52.640
 and some

00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:52.900
 of the

00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:53.279
 Pharisees

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:53.519
 in the

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:54.019
 crowd said

00:19:54.019 --> 00:19:54.299
 to him,

00:19:54.360 --> 00:19:54.620
 teacher,

00:19:54.779 --> 00:19:55.200
 rebuke

00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:55.400
 your

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:55.840
 disciples.

00:19:58.340 --> 00:19:58.779
 And

00:19:58.779 --> 00:19:59.000
 Jesus

00:19:59.000 --> 00:19:59.400
 answered,

00:19:59.480 --> 00:19:59.820
 I tell

00:19:59.820 --> 00:19:59.960
 you,

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.259
 if these

00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:01.000
 were silent,

00:20:01.860 --> 00:20:02.440
 the very

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:03.100
 stones

00:20:03.100 --> 00:20:04.060
 would cry

00:20:04.060 --> 00:20:04.340
 out.

00:20:04.339 --> 00:20:08.679
 he's

00:20:08.679 --> 00:20:09.039
 not like

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:09.240
 other

00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:09.559
 kings

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:09.839
 because

00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:10.019
 he

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:10.319
 comes

00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:10.500
 in

00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:10.599
 on

00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:10.740
 a

00:20:10.740 --> 00:20:11.019
 donkey.

00:20:13.059 --> 00:20:13.879
 He is

00:20:13.879 --> 00:20:14.399
 also

00:20:14.399 --> 00:20:15.259
 not like

00:20:15.259 --> 00:20:15.519
 other

00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:15.819
 kings

00:20:15.819 --> 00:20:16.179
 because

00:20:16.179 --> 00:20:16.639
 he

00:20:16.639 --> 00:20:17.539
 demands

00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:18.240
 praise

00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:18.679
 and

00:20:18.679 --> 00:20:19.039
 honor

00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:19.459
 and

00:20:19.459 --> 00:20:19.819
 glory.

00:20:21.699 --> 00:20:22.339
 Unlike

00:20:22.339 --> 00:20:22.959
 any

00:20:22.959 --> 00:20:23.299
 Roman

00:20:23.299 --> 00:20:23.659
 king

00:20:23.659 --> 00:20:23.859
 who

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:24.099
 ever

00:20:24.099 --> 00:20:24.439
 came

00:20:24.439 --> 00:20:24.659
 in

00:20:24.659 --> 00:20:24.779
 on

00:20:24.779 --> 00:20:24.919
 a

00:20:24.919 --> 00:20:25.119
 war

00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:25.500
 horse,

00:20:26.500 --> 00:20:26.839
 Jesus

00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:27.879
 must

00:20:27.879 --> 00:20:28.339
 be

00:20:28.339 --> 00:20:28.779
 praised.

00:20:32.679 --> 00:20:33.319
 There

00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:33.480
 are

00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:33.759
 many

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.159
 kings

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:34.360
 who

00:20:34.360 --> 00:20:34.640
 came

00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:35.019
 in

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:35.160
 on

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.440
 many

00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:35.700
 war

00:20:35.700 --> 00:20:35.980
 horses

00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:36.220
 that

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:36.400
 you

00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:36.540
 and

00:20:36.540 --> 00:20:36.680
 I

00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:36.840
 do

00:20:36.840 --> 00:20:37.040
 not

00:20:37.040 --> 00:20:37.180
 know

00:20:37.180 --> 00:20:37.340
 the

00:20:37.340 --> 00:20:37.580
 names

00:20:37.580 --> 00:20:37.860
 of.

00:20:39.340 --> 00:20:39.600
 And

00:20:39.600 --> 00:20:39.779
 there

00:20:39.779 --> 00:20:39.980
 is

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.240
 no

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:40.480
 one

00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:40.779
 around

00:20:40.779 --> 00:20:40.960
 the

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:41.180
 world

00:20:41.180 --> 00:20:41.420
 right

00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:41.600
 now

00:20:41.600 --> 00:20:41.960
 singing

00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:42.240
 their

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:42.640
 praises.

00:20:44.320 --> 00:20:44.820
 But

00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:45.060
 Jesus

00:20:45.060 --> 00:20:45.420
 tells

00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:45.620
 the

00:20:45.620 --> 00:20:46.100
 Pharisees

00:20:46.100 --> 00:20:46.360
 that

00:20:46.360 --> 00:20:46.600
 if

00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:46.800
 he

00:20:46.800 --> 00:20:47.140
 told

00:20:47.140 --> 00:20:47.320
 his

00:20:47.320 --> 00:20:47.740
 disciples

00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:47.960
 to

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:48.100
 be

00:20:48.100 --> 00:20:48.460
 quiet

00:20:48.460 --> 00:20:48.680
 it

00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:48.840
 would

00:20:48.840 --> 00:20:49.140
 be

00:20:49.140 --> 00:20:50.019
 futile

00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:51.140
 because

00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:51.540
 his

00:20:51.540 --> 00:20:51.980
 need

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:52.180
 the

00:20:52.180 --> 00:20:52.620
 demand

00:20:52.620 --> 00:20:52.900
 for

00:20:52.900 --> 00:20:53.400
 God

00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:53.580
 to

00:20:53.580 --> 00:20:53.740
 be

00:20:53.740 --> 00:20:54.040
 praised

00:20:54.040 --> 00:20:54.240
 is

00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:54.500
 so

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:55.080
 serious.

00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:56.560
 It

00:20:56.560 --> 00:20:56.740
 is

00:20:56.740 --> 00:20:57.000
 so

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:57.540
 ingrained

00:20:57.540 --> 00:20:57.700
 in

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:57.860
 the

00:20:57.860 --> 00:20:58.160
 fabric

00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:58.340
 of

00:20:58.340 --> 00:20:58.480
 the

00:20:58.480 --> 00:20:58.840
 universe

00:20:58.839 --> 00:20:59.079
 that

00:20:59.079 --> 00:20:59.220
 if

00:20:59.220 --> 00:20:59.720
 people

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:00.459
 who

00:21:00.459 --> 00:21:00.740
 God

00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:00.879
 has

00:21:00.879 --> 00:21:01.079
 put

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:01.199
 on

00:21:01.199 --> 00:21:01.359
 earth

00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:01.519
 as

00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:01.699
 his

00:21:01.699 --> 00:21:02.220
 representatives

00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:02.500
 if

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:02.859
 people

00:21:02.859 --> 00:21:03.240
 cease

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:03.459
 to

00:21:03.459 --> 00:21:03.799
 praise

00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:04.139
 God

00:21:04.139 --> 00:21:04.299
 then

00:21:04.299 --> 00:21:04.459
 the

00:21:04.459 --> 00:21:04.899
 creation

00:21:04.899 --> 00:21:05.099
 will

00:21:05.099 --> 00:21:05.359
 have

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:05.539
 to

00:21:05.539 --> 00:21:05.939
 step

00:21:05.939 --> 00:21:06.199
 up

00:21:06.199 --> 00:21:06.619
 and

00:21:06.619 --> 00:21:06.879
 fill

00:21:06.879 --> 00:21:07.079
 our

00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:07.459
 place.

00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:12.079
 Now you

00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:12.480
 could argue

00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:12.779
 that

00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:13.019
 Jesus

00:21:13.019 --> 00:21:13.279
 is

00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:13.500
 using

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:14.079
 hyperbole

00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:14.319
 here

00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:14.460
 that

00:21:14.460 --> 00:21:14.660
 he's

00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:15.340
 exaggerating

00:21:15.340 --> 00:21:17.039
 I

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.279
 don't

00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:17.480
 think

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:17.640
 he

00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:17.920
 is.

00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:20.279
 If

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:20.819
 everyone

00:21:20.819 --> 00:21:21.259
 around

00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:21.480
 the

00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:21.740
 world

00:21:21.740 --> 00:21:22.259
 stopped

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:22.660
 praising

00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:23.120
 God

00:21:23.120 --> 00:21:25.680
 I

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:25.940
 believe

00:21:25.940 --> 00:21:26.120
 what

00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:26.360
 Jesus

00:21:26.360 --> 00:21:26.579
 is

00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:26.819
 telling

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.019
 us

00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:27.180
 is

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:27.440
 that

00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:28.220
 the

00:21:28.220 --> 00:21:28.720
 earth

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.079
 would

00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:29.440
 have

00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:29.620
 to

00:21:29.620 --> 00:21:29.940
 come

00:21:29.940 --> 00:21:30.180
 and

00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:30.500
 step

00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:30.720
 in

00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:30.880
 and

00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:31.039
 fill

00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:31.200
 the

00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:31.480
 gap.

00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:33.559
 That

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:33.799
 is

00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:34.019
 how

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:34.640
 glorious

00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:35.799
 and

00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:36.460
 powerful

00:21:36.460 --> 00:21:37.059
 and

00:21:37.059 --> 00:21:37.599
 majestic

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:37.980
 this

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.279
 king

00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:38.720
 is.

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:41.319
 Other

00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:41.679
 kings

00:21:41.679 --> 00:21:42.039
 would be

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:42.419
 praised

00:21:42.419 --> 00:21:42.799
 for a

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:43.159
 time

00:21:43.159 --> 00:21:43.359
 or

00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:43.779
 for a

00:21:43.779 --> 00:21:44.079
 day.

00:21:44.899 --> 00:21:45.200
 Other

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:45.519
 kings

00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:45.700
 who

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:46.000
 came

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:46.319
 in

00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:47.619
 with

00:21:47.619 --> 00:21:48.019
 real

00:21:48.019 --> 00:21:48.460
 time

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:48.899
 political

00:21:48.899 --> 00:21:49.399
 victories.

00:21:50.879 --> 00:21:51.480
 But

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:51.659
 this

00:21:51.659 --> 00:21:51.859
 king

00:21:51.859 --> 00:21:52.139
 is not

00:21:52.139 --> 00:21:52.379
 going to

00:21:52.379 --> 00:21:52.519
 be

00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:52.879
 praised

00:21:52.879 --> 00:21:53.319
 for a

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:53.559
 day.

00:21:54.419 --> 00:21:54.879
 He

00:21:54.879 --> 00:21:55.039
 is

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:55.200
 going

00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:55.379
 to

00:21:55.379 --> 00:21:55.599
 be

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:56.179
 praised

00:21:56.179 --> 00:21:56.919
 forever.

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.799
 And

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:01.079
 so he

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:01.240
 is

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:01.779
 disappointing.

00:22:02.579 --> 00:22:02.859
 He's

00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:03.119
 also

00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:03.659
 surprising.

00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:06.019
 I

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:06.299
 mentioned

00:22:06.299 --> 00:22:06.619
 earlier

00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:06.859
 that

00:22:06.859 --> 00:22:07.859
 if you

00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:08.119
 think

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:08.359
 that

00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:08.839
 it's

00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:09.139
 foolish

00:22:09.139 --> 00:22:09.399
 to

00:22:09.399 --> 00:22:09.739
 believe

00:22:09.739 --> 00:22:10.019
 that

00:22:10.019 --> 00:22:10.459
 people

00:22:10.459 --> 00:22:10.619
 who

00:22:10.619 --> 00:22:10.839
 gather

00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:10.979
 in

00:22:10.979 --> 00:22:11.079
 a

00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:11.299
 place

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:11.479
 and

00:22:11.479 --> 00:22:11.699
 sing

00:22:11.699 --> 00:22:12.039
 songs

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:12.179
 and

00:22:12.179 --> 00:22:12.359
 read

00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:12.479
 an

00:22:12.479 --> 00:22:12.719
 ancient

00:22:12.719 --> 00:22:12.979
 book

00:22:12.979 --> 00:22:13.119
 are

00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:13.399
 actually

00:22:13.399 --> 00:22:13.639
 doing

00:22:13.639 --> 00:22:13.759
 the

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:13.899
 most

00:22:13.899 --> 00:22:14.319
 powerful

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:14.759
 thing

00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:15.539
 in

00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:15.659
 the

00:22:15.659 --> 00:22:15.959
 world.

00:22:19.439 --> 00:22:19.979
 We

00:22:19.979 --> 00:22:20.139
 don't

00:22:20.139 --> 00:22:20.319
 just

00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:20.619
 gather

00:22:20.619 --> 00:22:20.939
 here

00:22:20.939 --> 00:22:21.339
 together

00:22:21.339 --> 00:22:21.599
 and

00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:21.859
 sing

00:22:21.859 --> 00:22:22.259
 songs

00:22:22.259 --> 00:22:22.519
 on a

00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:22.679
 Sunday

00:22:22.679 --> 00:22:22.939
 morning

00:22:22.939 --> 00:22:23.159
 because

00:22:23.159 --> 00:22:23.379
 that's

00:22:23.379 --> 00:22:23.500
 what

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:23.739
 church

00:22:23.739 --> 00:22:23.979
 people

00:22:23.979 --> 00:22:24.279
 do.

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:27.099
 We

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:27.399
 gather

00:22:27.399 --> 00:22:27.759
 together

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.000
 and

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:28.259
 sing

00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:28.619
 songs

00:22:28.619 --> 00:22:28.959
 because

00:22:28.959 --> 00:22:29.399
 God

00:22:29.399 --> 00:22:30.119
 demands

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:30.439
 our

00:22:30.439 --> 00:22:30.939
 praise.

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:32.179
 And

00:22:32.179 --> 00:22:32.679
 if we

00:22:32.679 --> 00:22:33.159
 stop,

00:22:33.479 --> 00:22:33.959
 the very

00:22:33.959 --> 00:22:34.559
 rocks will

00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:34.939
 have to

00:22:34.939 --> 00:22:35.179
 take

00:22:35.180 --> 00:22:35.440
 over.

00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:39.920
 And

00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:40.560
 he demands

00:22:40.560 --> 00:22:41.080
 our praise

00:22:41.080 --> 00:22:41.539
 because he

00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:42.200
 is greater

00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:43.240
 than any

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:43.600
 earthly

00:22:43.600 --> 00:22:44.019
 king.

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:45.700
 He's

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:46.019
 greater

00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:46.500
 than any

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:46.860
 Roman

00:22:46.860 --> 00:22:47.420
 general

00:22:47.420 --> 00:22:48.039
 or

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:48.880
 emperor

00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:49.279
 who could

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:49.840
 come in

00:22:49.840 --> 00:22:50.720
 to Jerusalem

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.320
 or Rome

00:22:51.320 --> 00:22:51.620
 or any

00:22:51.620 --> 00:22:52.160
 other city.

00:22:54.660 --> 00:22:55.440
 And so

00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:55.840
 he's more

00:22:55.840 --> 00:22:56.120
 than we

00:22:56.120 --> 00:22:56.660
 could imagine.

00:22:56.660 --> 00:22:59.360
 if we

00:22:59.360 --> 00:22:59.519
 are

00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:00.060
 disappointed

00:23:00.060 --> 00:23:00.560
 in

00:23:00.560 --> 00:23:00.920
 Jesus

00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:02.740
 it's

00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:03.040
 because

00:23:03.040 --> 00:23:03.300
 he's

00:23:03.300 --> 00:23:03.480
 not

00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:03.800
 interested

00:23:03.800 --> 00:23:04.000
 in

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:04.340
 providing

00:23:04.340 --> 00:23:04.560
 us

00:23:04.560 --> 00:23:04.740
 with

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:05.100
 comfort.

00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:06.220
 He's

00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:06.480
 interested

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:06.700
 in

00:23:06.700 --> 00:23:06.860
 giving

00:23:06.860 --> 00:23:07.080
 us

00:23:07.080 --> 00:23:07.360
 joy.

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:09.720
 If

00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:09.820
 we

00:23:09.820 --> 00:23:09.940
 are

00:23:09.940 --> 00:23:10.380
 disappointed

00:23:10.380 --> 00:23:10.660
 in

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:10.900
 Jesus

00:23:10.900 --> 00:23:11.240
 it's

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:11.480
 because

00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:11.660
 he

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:11.759
 is

00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:11.960
 not

00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:12.360
 interested

00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:12.580
 in

00:23:12.580 --> 00:23:12.880
 taking

00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:13.300
 back

00:23:13.300 --> 00:23:13.980
 America

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:14.240
 for

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:14.540
 God

00:23:14.540 --> 00:23:15.560
 but

00:23:15.560 --> 00:23:15.700
 he

00:23:15.700 --> 00:23:15.860
 is

00:23:15.860 --> 00:23:16.160
 interested

00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:16.340
 in

00:23:16.340 --> 00:23:16.620
 one

00:23:16.620 --> 00:23:16.860
 day

00:23:16.860 --> 00:23:17.240
 taking

00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:17.580
 back

00:23:17.580 --> 00:23:17.759
 the

00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.300
 entire

00:23:18.300 --> 00:23:18.860
 world.

00:23:22.340 --> 00:23:22.920
 If

00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:23.040
 we're

00:23:23.040 --> 00:23:23.500
 disappointed

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:23.820
 in

00:23:23.820 --> 00:23:24.120
 Jesus

00:23:24.120 --> 00:23:24.540
 it's

00:23:24.540 --> 00:23:24.940
 not

00:23:24.940 --> 00:23:25.259
 because

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:25.660
 he's

00:23:25.660 --> 00:23:26.380
 uninterested

00:23:26.380 --> 00:23:26.640
 in

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:27.000
 solving

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:27.900
 a few

00:23:27.900 --> 00:23:28.640
 injustices

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:29.519
 or

00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:29.779
 healing

00:23:29.779 --> 00:23:30.080
 a few

00:23:30.080 --> 00:23:30.540
 wrongs.

00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:33.259
 It's

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:33.540
 not that

00:23:33.540 --> 00:23:33.880
 he doesn't

00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:34.259
 care about

00:23:34.259 --> 00:23:34.540
 that but

00:23:34.540 --> 00:23:34.820
 he is

00:23:34.820 --> 00:23:35.340
 coming back

00:23:35.340 --> 00:23:35.820
 to heal

00:23:35.820 --> 00:23:36.259
 every

00:23:36.259 --> 00:23:36.740
 injustice

00:23:36.740 --> 00:23:37.440
 and

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:37.800
 every

00:23:37.800 --> 00:23:38.120
 wrong.

00:23:41.860 --> 00:23:42.440
 He's

00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:42.580
 not

00:23:42.580 --> 00:23:42.900
 interested

00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:43.140
 in

00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.740
 overthrowing

00:23:43.740 --> 00:23:43.920
 the

00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:44.160
 Roman

00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:44.519
 Empire

00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:44.800
 because

00:23:44.800 --> 00:23:45.019
 he's

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:45.160
 not

00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:45.420
 interested

00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:45.580
 in

00:23:45.580 --> 00:23:45.700
 a

00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:46.040
 political

00:23:46.040 --> 00:23:46.460
 victory

00:23:46.460 --> 00:23:46.720
 in

00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:47.000
 one

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.300
 time

00:23:47.300 --> 00:23:47.480
 or

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:47.740
 one

00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:48.180
 place

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:49.680
 but

00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:49.920
 he's

00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:50.320
 interested

00:23:50.320 --> 00:23:50.540
 in

00:23:50.540 --> 00:23:50.960
 complete

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:51.220
 and

00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:51.500
 total

00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:51.960
 victory

00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:52.740
 everywhere

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:54.279
 in

00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:54.580
 every

00:23:54.580 --> 00:23:55.040
 place.

00:23:55.660 --> 00:23:58.480
 If

00:23:58.480 --> 00:23:58.720
 Jesus

00:23:58.720 --> 00:23:58.960
 is

00:23:58.960 --> 00:23:59.440
 disappointing

00:23:59.440 --> 00:23:59.700
 it's

00:23:59.700 --> 00:23:59.840
 in

00:23:59.840 --> 00:24:00.060
 the

00:24:00.060 --> 00:24:00.640
 manner

00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:01.160
 of

00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:01.279
 his

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:01.620
 victory.

00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:03.660
 If

00:24:03.660 --> 00:24:03.840
 he's

00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:04.300
 surprising

00:24:04.300 --> 00:24:04.600
 it's

00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:04.720
 in

00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:04.840
 the

00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:05.300
 results.

00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:11.040
 And

00:24:11.040 --> 00:24:11.400
 the catch

00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:11.880
 is this

00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:13.519
 it's

00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:13.840
 only

00:24:13.840 --> 00:24:14.200
 by

00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:14.720
 disappointing

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:15.019
 us

00:24:15.019 --> 00:24:15.180
 that

00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:15.420
 Jesus

00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:15.640
 can

00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:16.040
 surprise

00:24:16.040 --> 00:24:16.320
 us.

00:24:17.120 --> 00:24:17.620
 It's

00:24:17.620 --> 00:24:17.779
 only

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:18.019
 by

00:24:18.019 --> 00:24:18.480
 dashing

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:18.800
 our

00:24:18.800 --> 00:24:19.420
 expectations

00:24:19.420 --> 00:24:19.700
 that

00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:19.800
 he

00:24:19.800 --> 00:24:19.980
 can

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:20.460
 exceed

00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:20.640
 them

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:20.900
 because

00:24:20.900 --> 00:24:21.660
 imagine

00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:22.019
 for a

00:24:22.019 --> 00:24:22.180
 second

00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:22.400
 that

00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:22.640
 Jesus

00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:22.860
 had

00:24:22.860 --> 00:24:23.140
 come

00:24:23.140 --> 00:24:23.320
 in

00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:23.500
 on

00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:23.639
 a

00:24:23.639 --> 00:24:23.819
 war

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:24.159
 horse

00:24:24.159 --> 00:24:27.359
 coming

00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:27.500
 to

00:24:27.500 --> 00:24:27.700
 have

00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:28.139
 victory

00:24:28.139 --> 00:24:28.639
 and

00:24:28.639 --> 00:24:29.059
 conquer

00:24:29.059 --> 00:24:29.419
 all

00:24:29.419 --> 00:24:29.559
 of

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:29.720
 his

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.119
 enemies.

00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:31.599
 If

00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:31.859
 Jesus

00:24:31.859 --> 00:24:32.059
 had

00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:32.299
 come

00:24:32.299 --> 00:24:32.439
 in

00:24:32.439 --> 00:24:32.539
 on

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:32.659
 a

00:24:32.659 --> 00:24:32.839
 war

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:33.099
 horse

00:24:33.099 --> 00:24:33.359
 and

00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:33.939
 skipped

00:24:33.939 --> 00:24:34.500
 his

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:34.819
 death

00:24:34.819 --> 00:24:34.939
 and

00:24:34.939 --> 00:24:35.059
 his

00:24:35.059 --> 00:24:35.519
 resurrection

00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:37.539
 then

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:37.779
 his

00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:38.200
 victory

00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:38.500
 would

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:38.700
 not

00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:38.859
 be

00:24:38.859 --> 00:24:39.059
 good

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.279
 news

00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:39.480
 for

00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:39.980
 anyone.

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:42.779
 If

00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:43.019
 Jesus

00:24:43.019 --> 00:24:43.240
 had

00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:43.439
 come

00:24:43.439 --> 00:24:43.579
 in

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:44.000
 first

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:44.139
 on

 final

00:25:23.879 --> 00:25:24.299
 justice

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:24.579
 we

00:25:24.579 --> 00:25:24.740
 will

00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:24.879
 be

00:25:24.879 --> 00:25:25.039
 able

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:25.240
 to

00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:25.500
 say

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:25.699
 that

00:25:25.699 --> 00:25:25.980
 he

00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:26.220
 has

00:25:26.220 --> 00:25:26.559
 taken

00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:26.759
 the

00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:30.839
 And

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:30.980
 so

00:25:30.980 --> 00:25:31.139
 it's

00:25:31.139 --> 00:25:31.279
 the

00:25:33.679 --> 00:25:33.899
 that

00:25:33.899 --> 00:25:34.039
 we

00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:34.399
 need

00:25:34.399 --> 00:25:35.740
 and

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:35.919
 it's

00:25:35.919 --> 00:25:36.159
 only

00:25:36.159 --> 00:25:36.359
 the

00:25:37.679 --> 00:25:37.859
 who

00:25:37.859 --> 00:25:37.980
 can

00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:38.399
 provide

00:25:38.399 --> 00:25:38.699
 us

00:25:38.699 --> 00:25:39.379
 with

00:25:39.379 --> 00:25:39.519
 the

00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:39.899
 true

00:25:39.899 --> 00:25:40.699
 victory

00:25:40.699 --> 00:25:41.099
 that

00:25:41.099 --> 00:25:41.220
 we

00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:41.539
 want.

00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:45.740
 The

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:46.039
 good news

00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:46.199
 is

00:25:49.339 --> 00:25:53.079
 he

00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:53.379
 came

 to

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:53.899
 die

00:25:53.899 --> 00:25:54.319
 so

00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:54.419
 that

00:25:54.419 --> 00:25:54.519
 he

00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:54.639
 could

00:25:54.639 --> 00:25:54.799
 pay

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:54.980
 the

00:25:54.980 --> 00:25:55.319
 penalty

00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:55.619
 for

00:25:55.619 --> 00:25:55.859
 our

00:25:55.859 --> 00:25:56.279
 sins

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:57.159
 and

00:25:57.159 --> 00:25:57.299
 so

00:25:57.299 --> 00:25:57.439
 that

00:25:57.439 --> 00:25:57.899
 whoever

00:25:57.899 --> 00:25:58.319
 has

00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:58.679
 faith

00:25:58.679 --> 00:25:58.919
 and

00:25:58.919 --> 00:25:59.240
 hope

00:25:59.240 --> 00:25:59.459
 and

00:25:59.459 --> 00:25:59.899
 trust

00:25:59.899 --> 00:26:00.099
 in

00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:00.339
 Jesus

00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:00.559
 and

00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:01.019
 follows

00:26:01.019 --> 00:26:01.339
 after

00:26:01.339 --> 00:26:01.599
 him

00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:02.519
 would

00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:02.919
 receive

00:26:02.919 --> 00:26:03.439
 life

00:26:03.439 --> 00:26:03.939
 rather

00:26:03.939 --> 00:26:04.159
 than

00:26:04.159 --> 00:26:04.500
 death.

00:26:06.579 --> 00:26:07.139
 But

00:26:07.139 --> 00:26:07.279
 the

00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:07.619
 good news

00:26:10.019 --> 00:26:12.039

00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:12.199
 when

00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:30.600
 in

00:26:30.600 --> 00:26:30.819
 on a

00:26:30.819 --> 00:26:31.039
 donkey

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:31.200
 is

00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:31.360
 not

00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:31.519
 the

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:31.660
 end

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:31.759
 of

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:31.880
 the

00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:32.220
 story.

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:34.759
 It's

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:34.900
 the

00:26:34.900 --> 00:26:35.180
 coming

00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:35.519
 in

00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:35.799
 on a

00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:36.019
 donkey

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:36.240
 that

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:36.700
 makes

00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:37.380
 his

00:26:37.380 --> 00:26:37.819
 entry

00:26:37.819 --> 00:26:38.220
 on a

00:26:38.220 --> 00:26:38.539
 horse

00:26:38.539 --> 00:26:38.940
 good

00:26:38.940 --> 00:26:39.299
 news.

00:26:41.120 --> 00:26:41.620
 Because

00:26:41.620 --> 00:26:41.759
 in

00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:42.160
 Revelation

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:42.720
 19

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:43.160
 he's

00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:43.319
 not

00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:43.579
 coming

00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:43.799
 to

00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:44.140
 die.

00:26:44.860 --> 00:26:45.340
 The

00:26:45.340 --> 00:26:45.620
 ones

00:26:45.620 --> 00:26:45.759
 who

00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:45.900
 are

00:26:45.900 --> 00:26:46.240
 dying

00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:46.400
 are

00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:46.559
 his

00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:46.920
 enemies.

00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:49.019
 He's

00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:49.160
 not

00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:49.420
 coming

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:49.600
 to

00:26:49.600 --> 00:26:50.000
 overthrow

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.300
 the

00:26:50.300 --> 00:26:50.519
 Roman

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:50.980
 empire.

00:26:52.060 --> 00:26:52.580
 He's

00:26:52.580 --> 00:26:52.800
 coming

00:26:52.800 --> 00:26:53.019
 to

00:26:53.019 --> 00:26:53.560
 overthrow

00:26:53.560 --> 00:26:54.279
 anyone

00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:54.720
 and

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:55.259
 everything

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:55.560
 that

00:26:55.560 --> 00:26:55.980
 stands

00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:56.340
 against

00:26:56.340 --> 00:26:56.560
 him

00:26:56.560 --> 00:26:56.680
 and

00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:56.840
 his

00:26:56.840 --> 00:26:57.140
 rule.

00:27:01.860 --> 00:27:02.420
 And so

00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:02.720
 what they

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:03.019
 long

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:03.380
 for

00:27:03.380 --> 00:27:05.860
 it's

00:27:05.860 --> 00:27:06.019
 going

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:06.180
 to

00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:06.440
 come.

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:07.940
 It's

00:27:07.940 --> 00:27:08.039
 just

00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:08.220
 not

00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:08.360
 going

00:27:08.360 --> 00:27:08.480
 to

00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:08.680
 come

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:08.779
 in

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:08.920
 this

00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:09.140
 moment

00:27:09.140 --> 00:27:09.420
 because

00:27:09.420 --> 00:27:09.860
 first

00:27:09.860 --> 00:27:10.000
 it

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.120
 has

00:27:10.120 --> 00:27:10.259
 to

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:10.519
 come

00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:10.680
 through

00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:10.940
 Jesus

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:11.460
 death

00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:11.960
 and

00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:12.100
 his

00:27:12.100 --> 00:27:12.519
 resurrection.

00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:14.019
 And so

00:27:14.019 --> 00:27:14.440
 that is

00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:14.759
 why

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:15.059
 Jesus

00:27:15.059 --> 00:27:15.339
 has

00:27:15.339 --> 00:27:15.799
 set

00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:16.019
 his

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:16.519
 face

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:16.799
 towards

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:17.279
 Jerusalem.

00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:19.160
 That

00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:19.379
 he

00:27:19.379 --> 00:27:19.700
 could

00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:19.879
 be

00:27:19.879 --> 00:27:20.079
 the

00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:20.420
 greatest

00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:20.759
 king.

00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:20.940
 That

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:21.119
 the

00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:21.440
 rocks

00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:21.779
 would

00:27:21.779 --> 00:27:22.079
 cry

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:22.339
 out

00:27:22.339 --> 00:27:22.480
 and

00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:22.619
 they

00:27:22.619 --> 00:27:22.779
 would

00:27:22.779 --> 00:27:23.180
 cry

00:27:23.180 --> 00:27:23.639
 out

00:27:23.639 --> 00:27:25.639
 because

00:27:25.639 --> 00:27:25.740
 he

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:25.879
 is

00:27:25.879 --> 00:27:26.299
 greater

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:26.799
 and

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:26.980
 more

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:27.480
 powerful

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:27.700
 than

00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:27.900
 any

00:27:27.900 --> 00:27:28.099
 other

00:27:28.099 --> 00:27:28.400
 king.

00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:29.400
 He

00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:29.539
 is

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:29.759
 more

00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:30.099
 worthy

00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:30.299
 of

00:27:30.299 --> 00:27:30.680
 praise

00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:30.900
 than

00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:31.099
 any

00:27:31.099 --> 00:27:31.299
 other

00:27:31.299 --> 00:27:31.599
 king.

00:27:31.700 --> 00:27:31.759
 He

00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:31.920
 has

00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:32.119
 more

00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:32.559
 grace

00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:32.759
 and

00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:32.940
 more

00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:33.359
 love

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:33.539
 than

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:33.879
 any

00:27:33.879 --> 00:27:34.160
 other

00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:34.500
 king.

00:27:34.619 --> 00:27:34.779
 Not

00:27:34.779 --> 00:27:35.220
 only

00:27:35.220 --> 00:27:35.619
 because

00:27:35.619 --> 00:27:35.839
 he

00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:36.099
 is

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:37.000
 capable

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:37.859
 of

00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:38.220
 dying

00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:38.400
 and

00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:38.680
 rising

00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:38.879
 from

00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:39.040
 the

00:27:39.040 --> 00:27:39.260
 dead

00:27:39.260 --> 00:27:39.420
 but

00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:39.680
 because

00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:39.860
 he

00:27:39.860 --> 00:27:40.260
 chooses

00:27:40.260 --> 00:27:40.620
 to.

00:27:41.320 --> 00:27:41.640
 Because

00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:41.780
 he

00:27:41.780 --> 00:27:42.020
 does

00:27:42.020 --> 00:27:42.120
 it

00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:42.220
 for

00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:42.400
 the

00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:42.600
 sake

00:27:42.600 --> 00:27:42.780
 of

00:27:42.780 --> 00:27:42.920
 his

00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:43.240
 people.

00:27:48.600 --> 00:27:49.180
 And so

00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:49.420
 if we're

00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:49.940
 disappointed

00:27:49.940 --> 00:27:50.420
 in

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:50.760
 Jesus

00:27:50.760 --> 00:27:54.080
 we

00:27:54.080 --> 00:27:54.280
 thought

00:27:54.280 --> 00:27:54.400
 he

00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:54.560
 was

00:27:54.560 --> 00:27:54.780
 going

00:27:54.780 --> 00:27:55.000
 to

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.360
 provide

00:27:55.360 --> 00:27:55.700
 us

00:27:55.700 --> 00:27:56.100
 more

00:27:56.100 --> 00:27:56.800
 here

00:27:56.800 --> 00:27:57.020
 and

00:27:57.020 --> 00:27:57.340
 now

00:27:57.340 --> 00:27:59.360
 this

00:27:59.360 --> 00:27:59.700
 passage

00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:00.220
 reminds

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:00.600
 us

00:28:00.600 --> 00:28:02.800
 that

00:28:02.800 --> 00:28:02.980
 he

00:28:02.980 --> 00:28:03.300
 is

00:28:03.300 --> 00:28:03.640
 coming

00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:03.900
 with

00:28:03.900 --> 00:28:04.260
 more

00:28:04.260 --> 00:28:04.880
 more

00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:05.060
 than

00:28:05.060 --> 00:28:05.220
 we

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:05.360
 could

00:28:05.360 --> 00:28:05.680
 ever

00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:06.280
 expect

00:28:06.280 --> 00:28:06.820
 or

00:28:06.820 --> 00:28:07.240
 imagine.

00:28:08.020 --> 00:28:08.380
 He

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:08.580
 is

00:28:08.580 --> 00:28:08.860
 coming

00:28:08.860 --> 00:28:09.100
 to

00:28:09.100 --> 00:28:09.480
 make

00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:10.000
 everything

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.400
 right

00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:11.160
 but

00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:11.280
 he

00:28:11.280 --> 00:28:11.580
 has

00:28:11.580 --> 00:28:11.760
 to

00:28:11.760 --> 00:28:11.920
 do

00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:12.120
 it

00:28:12.120 --> 00:28:12.500
 for

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:12.780
 our

00:28:12.780 --> 00:28:13.120
 sake

00:28:13.120 --> 00:28:13.860
 through

00:28:13.860 --> 00:28:14.080
 his

00:28:14.080 --> 00:28:14.440
 death

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:14.980
 and

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:15.120
 his

00:28:15.120 --> 00:28:15.560
 resurrection.

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:17.180
 And so

00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:17.420
 that's

00:28:17.420 --> 00:28:17.720
 why we

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:18.100
 worship

00:28:18.100 --> 00:28:18.400
 him

00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:18.640
 as

00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:18.800
 the

00:28:18.800 --> 00:28:19.140
 king.

00:28:19.860 --> 00:28:20.300
 That's

00:28:20.300 --> 00:28:20.400
 why

00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:20.560
 the

00:28:20.560 --> 00:28:20.920
 rocks

00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:21.100
 will

00:28:21.100 --> 00:28:21.380
 cry

00:28:21.380 --> 00:28:21.660
 out

00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:21.860
 if

00:28:21.860 --> 00:28:22.120
 we

00:28:22.120 --> 00:28:22.320
 do

00:28:22.320 --> 00:28:22.640
 not.

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:25.960
 And

00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:26.180
 that's

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:26.380
 why

00:28:26.380 --> 00:28:26.560
 he

00:28:26.560 --> 00:28:26.760
 can

00:28:26.760 --> 00:28:27.120
 bring

00:28:27.120 --> 00:28:27.400
 us

00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:28.040
 life

00:28:28.040 --> 00:28:28.840
 and

00:28:28.840 --> 00:28:29.220
 joy

00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:29.740
 and

00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:30.120
 peace.

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:30.280
 He

00:28:30.280 --> 00:28:30.460
 can

00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:30.780
 bring

00:28:30.780 --> 00:28:30.940
 us

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:31.120
 what

00:28:31.120 --> 00:28:31.380
 these

00:28:31.380 --> 00:28:31.940
 disciples

00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:32.360
 praise

00:28:32.360 --> 00:28:32.540
 him

00:28:32.540 --> 00:28:32.820
 for.

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:33.340
 Peace

00:28:33.340 --> 00:28:33.620
 in

00:28:33.620 --> 00:28:33.900

00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:35.320

00:28:35.320 --> 00:28:35.680
 highest.

00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:38.380
 And so

00:28:38.380 --> 00:28:38.640
 that's

00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:39.039
 exactly

00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:39.400
 what we

00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:39.519

00:28:40.940 --> 00:28:41.000
 We

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:41.100
 are

00:28:41.100 --> 00:28:41.279
 going

00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:41.460

00:28:41.860 --> 00:28:42.060
 a

00:28:42.060 --> 00:28:42.400
 song

00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:42.700
 about

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:42.860
 a

00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:43.060
 king.

00:28:45.560 --> 00:28:46.019
 We're

00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:46.200
 going to

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:47.680

00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:48.100
 eternal.

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:48.420
 That's

00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:48.539
 our

00:28:48.539 --> 00:28:48.799
 first

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:49.080

00:28:49.080 --> 00:28:49.279
 which

00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:49.480
 means

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:49.660
 he's

00:28:49.660 --> 00:28:49.799
 not

00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:49.980
 just

00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:50.120
 a

 one

00:28:51.560 --> 00:28:51.980
 place.

00:28:52.560 --> 00:28:52.840
 He's

00:28:52.840 --> 00:28:52.960
 a

00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:53.240
 king

00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:53.500
 for

00:28:53.500 --> 00:28:53.779
 all

00:28:53.779 --> 00:28:54.120

00:28:56.120 --> 00:28:56.600
 We're

00:28:56.600 --> 00:28:56.680
 going

00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:56.759

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:57.680
 sin's

00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:57.940
 fierce

00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:58.360
 war

00:28:58.360 --> 00:28:59.000
 ceasing

00:28:59.000 --> 00:28:59.880
 that

00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:00.140
 not

00:29:00.140 --> 00:29:00.580
 just

00:29:00.580 --> 00:29:00.920
 some

00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:01.380
 injustice

00:29:01.380 --> 00:29:01.600
 is

00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:01.759
 going

00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:01.899
 to

00:29:01.899 --> 00:29:02.119
 come

00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:02.259

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.359
 an

00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:02.480
 end

00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:02.599
 but

00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:02.939
 all

00:29:02.939 --> 00:29:03.379
 injustice

00:29:03.379 --> 00:29:03.740
 will.

00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:05.339
 And

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:05.459
 then

00:29:05.459 --> 00:29:05.559
 we're

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:05.740
 going

00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:05.899
 to

00:29:05.899 --> 00:29:06.219
 sing

00:29:06.219 --> 00:29:06.459
 about

00:29:06.459 --> 00:29:06.980
 deeds

00:29:06.980 --> 00:29:07.199
 of

00:29:07.199 --> 00:29:07.519
 love

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:07.719
 and

00:29:07.719 --> 00:29:08.039
 mercy

00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:09.179
 which

00:29:09.179 --> 00:29:09.539
 reminds

00:29:09.539 --> 00:29:09.719
 us

00:29:09.719 --> 00:29:09.879
 of

00:29:09.879 --> 00:29:10.219
 Jesus

00:29:10.219 --> 00:29:10.659
 love

00:29:10.659 --> 00:29:10.819
 and

00:29:10.819 --> 00:29:11.059

00:29:11.379 --> 00:29:11.519
 us

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:11.639
 that

00:29:11.639 --> 00:29:11.799
 his

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:12.339
 justice

00:29:12.339 --> 00:29:12.719
 is

00:29:12.719 --> 00:29:13.139
 only

00:29:13.139 --> 00:29:13.500
 good

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:13.899
 news

00:29:13.899 --> 00:29:14.459
 if

00:29:14.459 --> 00:29:14.740
 Jesus

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:15.019
 took

00:29:15.019 --> 00:29:15.179
 the

00:29:15.179 --> 00:29:15.500
 punishment

00:29:15.500 --> 00:29:15.839
 for

00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:16.099
 us.

00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:18.639
 And

00:29:18.639 --> 00:29:18.759
 so

00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:18.939
 that's

00:29:18.939 --> 00:29:19.059
 why

00:29:19.059 --> 00:29:19.219
 we're

00:29:19.219 --> 00:29:19.299
 going

00:29:19.299 --> 00:29:19.379
 to

00:29:19.379 --> 00:29:19.579

00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:22.139
 journey

00:29:22.139 --> 00:29:22.339

00:29:24.179 --> 00:29:24.559
 awaits

00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:24.740
 the

00:29:57.399 --> 00:29:58.519
 so

00:29:58.519 --> 00:29:58.639
 that

00:29:58.639 --> 00:29:58.799
 we

00:29:58.799 --> 00:29:59.179
 would

00:29:59.179 --> 00:29:59.519
 see

00:29:59.519 --> 00:29:59.740
 you

00:29:59.740 --> 00:29:59.919
 for

00:29:59.919 --> 00:30:00.159
 who

00:30:00.159 --> 00:30:00.339
 you

00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:00.599
 truly

00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:00.919
 are.

00:30:02.259 --> 00:30:02.500
 A

00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:02.779
 king

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:02.980
 who

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.139
 was

00:30:03.139 --> 00:30:03.519
 humble

00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:03.960
 and

00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:04.240
 laid

00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:04.419
 his

00:30:04.419 --> 00:30:04.679
 life

00:30:04.679 --> 00:30:05.039
 down

00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:06.399
 so

00:30:06.399 --> 00:30:06.519
 that

00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:06.619
 he

00:30:06.619 --> 00:30:06.779
 could

00:30:06.779 --> 00:30:07.000
 lift

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:07.179
 us

00:30:07.179 --> 00:30:07.399
 up.

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:09.000
 We

00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:09.240
 ask

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:09.419
 all

00:30:09.419 --> 00:30:09.619
 these

00:30:09.619 --> 00:30:09.960
 things

00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:10.259
 not

00:30:10.259 --> 00:30:10.720
 because

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.039
 we

00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:11.259
 have

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:11.539
 earned

00:30:11.539 --> 00:30:11.759
 them

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.819
 but

00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:13.079
 because

00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:13.419
 Jesus

00:30:13.419 --> 00:30:13.740
 our

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:14.119
 king

00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:14.819
 through

00:30:14.819 --> 00:30:15.000
 his

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.379
 death

00:30:15.379 --> 00:30:15.700
 and

00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:15.859
 his

00:30:15.859 --> 00:30:16.319
 resurrection

00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:16.599
 have

00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:16.859
 earned

00:30:16.859 --> 00:30:17.019
 them

00:30:17.019 --> 00:30:17.259
 for

00:30:17.259 --> 00:30:17.500
 us.

00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:18.159
 And

00:30:18.159 --> 00:30:18.259
 so

00:30:18.259 --> 00:30:18.379
 we

00:30:18.379 --> 00:30:18.679
 ask

00:30:18.679 --> 00:30:18.799
 them

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:18.919
 in

00:30:18.919 --> 00:30:19.119
 his

00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:19.419
 name.

00:30:19.419 --> 00:30:20.440
 Amen.
