1. Weekly News from WCUMC-3/24/2013
Sharing the transforming love of Jesus, across the street and around the world.
“Not the Kind of King They Expected”
Palm Sunday - March 24, 2013
After Jesus said this, he continued on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. As
Jesus came to Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he gave
two disciples a task. He said, “ Go into the village over there. When
you enter it, you will find tied up there a colt that no one has ever
ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
If someone asks, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘Its master needs
it.’ ” Those who had been sent found it exactly as he had said. As they
were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “ Why are you untying
the colt?” They replied, “ Its master needs it. ”
They brought it to Jesus, threw their clothes on the colt, and lifted
Jesus onto it. As Jesus rode along, they spread their clothes on the
road.
As Jesus approached the road leading down from the Mount of Olives,
the whole throng of his disciples began rejoicing. They praised God with
a loud voice because of all the mighty things they had seen. They said,
“ Blessings on the king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in
heaven and glory in the highest heavens. ” Some of the Pharisees from
the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, scold your disciples! Tell them to
stop!” He answered, “ I tell you, if they were silent, the stones would
shout. ”
Luke 19:28-40

2. What God said would happen, happened…
Zechariah 9:9
Look, your king will come to you. He is righteous and victorious. He is
humble and riding on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.
Luke 18:31-33
Jesus took the Twelve aside and said, “ Look, we’re going up to
Jerusalem, and everything written about the Human One by the
prophets will be accomplished. He will be handed over to the Gentiles.
He will be ridiculed, mistreated, and spit on. After torturing him, they
will kill him. On the third day, he will rise up. ”
Psalm 118:26
“The one who enters in the LORD ’s name is blessed…”
The crowd was excited about all the miracles and what they expected
of a Messiah. But what did they really want?
CONQUERING KING vs. LAMB OF GOD
The Jewish leaders were threatened by Christ … and the TRUTH
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Jesus,
“ Teacher, scold your disciples! Tell them to stop! ”
Luke 19:41-44
As Jesus came to the city and observed it, he wept over it. He said, “ If
only you knew on this of all days the things that lead to peace. But now
they are hidden from your eyes. …you didn’t recognize the time of your
gracious visit from God. ”
Jesus is not a “conquering king” as the world would define it. He’s a
King who came to serve and sacrifice.
