3 WEEKLY PRAYER SHEET 03/25/2018 Palm Sunday Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. There was no doubt in the disciples mind nor in the crowd s mind. This must be the fulfillment of the Zachariah 9:9 promise. Your king comes...victorious...and riding on a colt. They all had one thought. This was to be the end of Roman rule for the long-awaited Messiah had come. Had Jesus taken His throne on the first day of palms, none of us would ever be robed in white or waving palms of praise in the age to come. There had to be the cross, and that is what the disciples had not yet understood. They saw Him as a king moving in to take control. And He was. But they could not grasp that the victory Jesus would win in Jerusalem over sin and Satan and death and all the enemies of righteousness and joy that this victory would be won through His own horrible suffering and death; and that the kingdom which they thought would be established immediately would, in fact, be thousands of years in coming. Their misunderstanding of Jesus journey to Jerusalem results in a misunderstanding of the meaning of discipleship. Let us not make the same mistake. He was not merely taking our place; He was setting our pattern. Jesus had come not to judge, but to save. The surprise about Jesus the Messiah is that He came to live a life of sacrificial, dying service before He will come a second time to reign in glory. And the surprise about discipleship is that it demands a life of sacrificial, dying service before we can reign with Christ in glory. If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it.
