1 1 Luke 22:14-30 (New Internatinal Versin) 14 When the hur came, Jesus and his apstles reclined at the table. 15 And he said t them, I have eagerly desired t eat this Passver with yu befre I suffer. 16 Fr I tell yu, I will nt eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdm f Gd. 17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, Take this and divide it amng yu. 18 Fr I tell yu I will nt drink again frm the fruit f the vine until the kingdm f Gd cmes. 19 And he tk bread, gave thanks and brke it, and gave it t them, saying, This is my bdy given fr yu; d this in remembrance f me. 20 In the same way, after the supper he tk the cup, saying, This cup is the new cvenant in my bld, which is pured ut fr yu. 21 But the hand f him wh is ging t betray me is with mine n the table. 22 The Sn f Man will g as it has been decreed. But we t that man wh betrays him! 23 They began t questin amng themselves which f them it might be wh wuld d this. 24 A dispute als arse amng them as t which f them was cnsidered t be greatest. 25 Jesus said t them, The kings f the Gentiles lrd it ver them; and thse wh exercise authrity ver them call themselves Benefactrs. 26 But yu are nt t be like that. Instead, the greatest amng yu shuld be like the yungest, and the ne wh rules like the ne wh serves. 27 Fr wh is greater, the ne wh is at the table r the ne wh serves? Is it nt the ne wh is at the table? But I am amng yu as ne wh serves. 28 Yu are thse wh have std by me in my trials. 29 And I cnfer n yu a kingdm, just as my Father cnferred ne n me, 30 s that yu may eat and drink at my table in my kingdm and sit n thrnes, judging the twelve tribes f Israel.

2 2 Gd Mrning, my sisters and brthers in Christ. I greet yu this mrning in the name f Jesus the Christ. If yu have been a part f Bible Study during this seasn f Lent; if yu are a Bible Student; r just merely bservant yu knw that tday is Palm Sunday. This is day that we have set aside t remember Jesus as He rde int Jerusalem. Matthew 21 recrds it this way: 2 saying t them, G t the village ahead f yu, and at nce yu will find a dnkey tied there, with her clt by her. Untie them and bring them t me. 6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brught the dnkey and the clt and placed their claks n them fr Jesus t sit n. 8 A very large crwd spread their claks n the rad, while thers cut branches frm the trees and spread them n the rad. 9 The crwds that went ahead f him and thse that fllwed shuted, Hsanna t the Sn f David! Blessed is he wh cmes in the name f the Lrd! Hsanna in the highest heaven! 10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whle city was stirred and asked, Wh is this? 11 The crwds answered, This is Jesus, the prphet frm Nazareth in Galilee. It was a glrius day and in my mind I can imagine the jy the Jews in the crwd felt. Our King has cme, the Messiah is here, we will sn be free and ut frm under Rman rule. I can imagine them talking amng themselves I am glad I made the trip t Jerusalem and was able t witness this event. I imagine smene else said Lk He chse t make His entrance during the Feast f Unleavened Bread, He has cme t celebrate the Passver Meal. The Jews in crwd were glad and pleased t be able t tell anyne wh asked This is Jesus, the prphet frm Nazareth in Galilee. That is the essence f the stry that marks tday. Yet we are challenged by the David C. Ck Sunday Schl editirs t lk beynd that day t later in the week when Jesus shares a meal with His disciples. If yu are a serius Bible student yu knw that this meal with the disciples is recrded by all fur f the gspel writers and Paul refers t it in his letters t the church at Crinth. Luke says it is the Passver Meal.

3 3 In my mind the fact that we are being asked t study this meal raises a few questins: What are we t learn in the 21 st century frm a meal? served in the 1 st century? Where and what is the cnnectin between last Sunday s lessn n Daniel s visin and the interpretatin and tday? Perhaps we are nt being called t cnnect these events but rather t lift and cmpare a characteristic frm each f the majr participants. If yu remember, n last Sunday I ask When D Yu Ask fr Help? and we lked at the actins f Daniel t gain sme insight. Tday I am asking us t lk fr just a few minutes at just tw verses: 26 But yu are nt t be like that. Instead, the greatest amng yu shuld be like the yungest, and the ne wh rules like the ne wh serves. 27 Fr wh is greater, the ne wh is at the table r the ne wh serves? Is it nt the ne wh is at the table? But I am amng yu as ne wh serves. Kingdm Seekers turn me n and listen t the same passage frm THE MESSAGE Within minutes they were bickering ver wh f them wuld end up the greatest. But Jesus intervened: Kings like t thrw their weight arund and peple in authrity like t give themselves fancy titles. It s nt ging t be that way with yu. Let the senir amng yu becme like the junir; let the leader act the part f the servant Wh wuld yu rather be: the ne wh eats the dinner r the ne wh serves the dinner? Yu d rather eat and be served, right? But I ve taken my place amng yu as the ne wh serves. And yu ve stuck with me thrugh thick and thin. Nw I cnfer n yu the ryal authrity my Father cnferred n me s yu can eat and drink at my table in my kingdm and be strengthened as yu take up respnsibilities amng the cngregatins f Gd s peple. I invite yu t pray with me as we cnsider this title:

4 4 SHALL WE PRAY! Mst Hly Gd, the Gd wh knws us and knws ur hearts. We yur peple cme int yur huse this mrning n this day we call Palm Sunday desiring t hear what it is yu have rdained fr us t hear this day. Gd, ur Father, we need a Wrd frm yu, help us t hear and be receptive t that Wrd. Nw Lrd I ask that yu create in me a clean heart and a servant s heart. Let the wrds f my muth and the meditatins f my heart be acceptable t yu. In the name f Jesus the Christ we pray. AMEN. AMEN. When my sisters and I were little and had made a mess f things my mther ften yelled up the stairs the servants are ff tday, yu need t clean up fr yurselves and behind yurselves. Nw grwing up as the children f frmer sharecrppers frm MS n the west side f Chicag in the 50 s and 60 s I hpe yu understand that we had n servants. It was just Martha Ann s way f getting her pint acrss. Mama had n prblems with being a servant, fr she earned her living and help t supprt her family wrking as a member f the husekeeping staff f a hspital, in ther wrds a maid. Martha Ann never desired the limelight: cleaned, wrked in the kitchen, watched ther s children at church and in her hme, tk vacatin time frm her paying jb t ck during the Baptist Cnventin (2 nd Illustratin ntes nly) Cllege pay yu t make my bed grew up with servants dn t knw hw! In 1968 a white girl asking a black girl t make her bed, even fr pay was insulting I was nt her maid. Smene said, well I help ut! Smene else said, I help when I can, have time, but I can t help all the time.

5 5 I just stpped this mrning t tell yu that helping is nt the same as having a Servant s Heart. A helper helps ther when it is cnvenient A servant serves ther even when it is incnvenient A helper helps peple that he r she likes A servant serves even peple that he r she dislikes A helper helps when he r she enjys the wrk A servant serves even when he r she dislikes the wrk A helper helps when the circumstances are cnvenient A servant serves even when the circumstances are incnvenient A helper helps with a view t btaining persnal satisfactin A servant serves even when he r she receives n persnal satisfactin A helper helps with an attitude f assisting anther A servant serves with an attitude f enabling anther
