Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant, Mt. Pleasant & Shiloh
Prayer: Pastor Baggett
Scripture: Mark 11:1-10 -And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him. And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away. And they went away and say a young ass by the door outside in teh open street; and they were getting him loose. And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass? And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go. And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back. And a great number put down their clothing in the way; and others put down branches which they had taken from the fields. And those who were in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: A blessing on the coming kingdom of our father David: Glory in the highest.
Subject: Great Expectations, a Reality Check
- The Jewish people believed there would come a messiah.
- They thought that the new king would come with all majesty and not on an ass.
- Why wasn't Jesus excepted by the Jews? Because He was not what they expected.
- Jesus came so that we would have life. John 10:10
- Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King comes unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon as ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. Zechariah 9:9
- Jesus walked among us and loved us.
- Jesus gave and not take.
- John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
