Welcome to Day 2849 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2849 – “Beholds He Comes!”  based on Zechariah 9:9 Putnam Church Message – 03/29/2026 Luke's Account of the Good News – “Behold He Comes!”   Last week, we continued our study of the ministry of Jesus Christ with a message titled “There is Always Hope!”  We learned that the heart of discipleship is: Where Jesus is, hopelessness is never final. Today, we are switching from our study of Luke for two weeks to focus on Palm Sunday and Resurrection Sunday. Today's message is: “Behold He Comes!” covers the entire Passion Week, and our launching point today is Zechariah 9:9:   Zion's Coming King 9 Rejoice, O people of Zion![a] Shout in triumph, O people of Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious,[b] yet he is humble, riding on a donkey— riding on a donkey's colt.   Opening Prayer Lord Jesus, as we gather around Your Word, quiet our hearts and open our eyes. Help us to see more than a parade, more than a cross, more than an empty tomb. Help us to see You as You truly are: the promised King, the suffering Savior, and the risen Lord. Take the familiar story and make it fresh again. Speak to the weary, awaken the distracted, convict the proud, comfort the grieving, and call all of us to follow You more fully. In Your holy name we pray. Amen. Introduction Over the next two weeks, we step away briefly from Luke for a special journey—from Palm Sunday to Easter/Resurrection Sunday, from the shouts of “Hosanna!” to the cry of “It is finished,” and then to the glorious announcement, “He is not here; He is risen!” The title of this message is “Behold He Comes!” That is really the heartbeat of Passion Week. Behold, He comes into Jerusalem. Behold, He comes to the temple. Behold, He comes to the table with His disciples. Behold, He comes into Gethsemane. Behold, He comes before Pilate. Behold, He comes to the cross. Behold, He comes out of the grave. The four Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—tell this story in harmony, though each gives us a different camera angle. Matthew highlights prophecy fulfilled. Mark emphasizes the movement and urgency of the King's mission. Luke gives us the tears of Jesus and the tragedy of a city that did not recognize its moment of visitation. John reminds us that many in the crowd were stirred because Jesus had raised Lazarus, and now excitement was running through Jerusalem like wildfire. But Palm Sunday is not just a happy parade. It is the beginning of holy collision. Hope and misunderstanding meet on the same street. Praise and rejection are only days apart. The palms wave on Sunday, but the cross stands on Friday. And yet through it all, one truth remains: Jesus is not swept along by events. He comes deliberately. He comes knowingly. He comes lovingly. He comes for us. Main Point 1: He Comes as the Promised King When Jesus approached Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives near Bethphage and Bethany, He sent disciples to bring a donkey and its colt. This was not accidental. This was not random transportation. This was revelation. Matthew 21 points us directly to Zechariah 9:9 “Look, your King is coming to you. He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble, riding on a donkey.” Now, in the ancient world, kings often arrived in one of two ways. If they came on a war horse, they came in conquest. If they came on a donkey, they came in peace. Jesus is King, yes—but not the kind of king the crowds fully expected. The Jews wanted a throne. -> Jesus came with humility. The Jews wanted Rome overthrown. -> Jesus came to overthrow sin and death. The Jews wanted political rescue. -> Jesus came for eternal redemption. Can you picture the scene? The road is dusty. Cloaks are spread down like a makeshift royal carpet. Branches are cut and waved. Psalm 118 is rising from the crowd: “Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!” And John tells us specifically that these were palm branches—symbols of joy, victory, and national hope. Similar to us waving an American flag during a parade. Expanded Narrative For first-century Jews, Jerusalem was not merely a city. It was the city of promise, the city of David, the city of the temple. And when Jesus comes riding down the slope of the Mount of Olives, every prophetic nerve in Israel starts to tremble. The prophets had spoken. The covenant had promised. The generations had waited. -> And now Behold He Comes! But notice the manner of His coming. There is no sword in His hand. No army behind Him. No chariot rumbling over stone. Only a borrowed animal, willing disciples, and a crowd that understands just enough to cheer—but not enough yet to surrender. That still happens today, doesn't it? People are often happy to celebrate Jesus when they think He will fit their expectations. We welcome Him when He seems useful to our plans. We praise Him when the blessings are flowing. But when He comes humbly, when He confronts us, when He does not serve our agenda, we do not always know what to do with Him. Illustration It is a little like someone expecting the President to arrive in a black limousine with security and flashing lights—but instead he shows up alone, in plain clothes, and sits down at the table to listen. Some would miss the significance because they expected power to look louder. Jesus comes with authority, but it is wrapped in humility. Object Lesson Hold up a gold-looking crown in one hand and a simple rope halter or small wooden yoke in the other. Say: “Which one looks more like a king? Most of us would choose the crown. But Palm Sunday tells us that God's King often comes in a form we do not expect. The crown is real—but the path to it runs through humility.” Related Scriptures Genesis 49:10–11 hints at kingship tied to the colt. Psalm 118:25–26 gives us the language of “Hosanna” and blessing. Zechariah 9:9 declares the humble King. Philippians 2:6–8 tells us Christ humbled Himself. Summary of Main Point 1 Palm Sunday announces that Jesus is not merely a teacher entering a city. He is the long-awaited King entering His rightful place. But He comes with humility, peace, and purpose. He does not come to match human expectations; He comes to fulfill divine promises. The question for us is not, “Will we admire this King?” but “Will we receive Him on His terms?” Main Point 2: He Comes and Sees What Others Cannot See Luke gives us one of the most moving moments in the triumphal entry. While the crowd rejoices, Jesus weeps over Jerusalem. Luke 19:41 says, “But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep.” Think about that. The crowd is shouting. The disciples are praising God for the miracles they have seen. The Pharisees are telling Jesus to quiet the people. And in the middle of all that noise—Jesus is crying. Why? Because He sees what they do not see. They see a parade. -> He sees a city on the brink of judgment. They see excitement. -> He sees hardened hearts. They see what they want Him to do. -> He sees what He must do. John tells us that many in the crowd were stirred because of the raising of Lazarus. That miracle had electrified public imagination. “If He can call a dead man out of the grave after four days, surely, He can take Jerusalem! Surely, He can establish the kingdom now!” But Jesus knows that many voices shouting “Hosanna” do not yet understand holiness, repentance, surrender, or the cost of redemption.   Expanded Narrative Jerusalem had a history. It was the city of priests, sacrifice, pilgrimage, Scripture, memory, and hope. To an ancient Israelite, it was the place where heaven and earth seemed to meet. Yet it had also become a place where religious familiarity could hide spiritual...

This Easter, we are challangerd to consider the profound reality that resurrection is not just a historical event but a present power that transforms our lives today. The sermon centers on John 20, where we encounter Mary Magdalene walking in darkness to Jesus' tomb, carrying the weight of grief and trauma. What unfolds is a story of divine pursuit, where Jesus doesn't wait for us to find Him but actively seeks us out in our brokenness. We're challenged to examine four compelling reasons the resurrection deserves our trust: it's intellectually satisfying, as the evidence demands honest investigation rather than blind faith; it's emotionally satiating, offering a love stronger than death itself; it's personally resonant, as Jesus calls each of us by name into a new identity; and it's universally redemptive, signaling God's intention to renew all creation. The empty tomb and folded grave clothes invite us to theorize and investigate, while Mary's encounter with the risen Christ reminds us that we often fail to recognize Jesus working in our lives because we're trapped in stories of loss and abandonment. The message powerfully confronts our cultural avoidance of death and offers the only truly satisfying answer: a God who enters death to defeat it, who knows our pain from the inside, and who is making all things new even now.

Easter Resurrection Sunday 2026 BBC Live Church Worship Sermon Pastor Rhodes - trimmed by Patrick Rhodes

When Everything Depends on One QuestionChristianity rises or falls on a single claim.Not a teaching, Not a value system, Not a moral philosophy… BUT ONE EVENT.If Jesus rose from the dead — everything changes; If He didn't — none of this matters.Easter is not about springtime optimism… Easter is about a HISTORICAL INTERRUPTION that rewrote reality.John doesn't begin his recollection of Easter morning with celebration… He begins with grief.THE SCENE: Hope BuriedJohn 20 tells us Mary Magdalene goes to the tomb while it is still dark.She's not expecting resurrection… She's expecting to grieve.The stone is rolled away — and her first conclusion isn't hope… It's loss.She runs to tell the disciples: “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb…”Even the closest followers of Jesus were not expecting Resurrection.Resurrection was not even wishful thinking — BUT it was a shocking reality.THE EMPTY TOMB: Evidence Before ExplanationPeter and John run to the tomb. They don't find chaos… They find order.The face cloth, which had been on Jesus head, folded up in a place by itself. The tomb is empty. And Death undone.John wants us to know, beyond the shadow of a doubt: “He saw and believed.”Not because he understood everything — but because the evidence demanded a response.Our Christian faith is not blind belief… Our Christ-centered faith is BELIEF THAT IS ROOTED IN REALITY.THE ENCOUNTER: Jesus Calls Her NameMary stays behind, weeping. She sees Jesus — and doesn't recognize Him.Grief has a way of blurring our vision.Then Jesus says one word: “Mary.” …And everything changes.The risen Jesus is not a distant idea — He is a personal Savior.[RESURRECTION IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE…] because throughout this series, we've seen Jesus:turn water into wine; heal a dying child; restore a paralyzed man; multiply bread; walk on water; give sight to the blind and call Lazarus from the grave… But Easter is different.Every other miracle we have looked at delays death, But this miracle DEFEATS DEATH.The resurrection is not just something Jesus did. The resurrection is WHO JESUS IS.RESURRECTION CHANGES…1. HOW WE SEE DEATHDeath is no longer the end — it's a defeated enemy.Jesus didn't escape death — JESUS CONQUERED DEATH.2. HOW WE SEE SUFFERINGPain is no longer pointless.The cross looked like failure — until Resurrection Sunday came.God does His greatest work in places that look the most hopeless.3. HOW WE LIVE TODAYThe resurrection is not just future hope — The RESURRECTION IS PRESENT POWER.THE SAME POWER that raised Jesus now lives in those who trust Him.HOW THE RESURRECTION STRENGTHENS OUR DAILY FAITH1. WE ARE NEVER TOO FAR GONEThe tomb was sealed… The stone was heavy… The situation looked final.And God still moved!There is no sin, failure, or loss this beyond the reach of resurrection power.2. GOD IS STILL WORKING IN THE DARKMary arrived while it was still dark — but the miracle had already happened.Just because you can't see it yet doesn't mean God isn't at work.3. RESURRECTION POWER IS MEANT TO BE SHAREDThe first command of the risen Jesus is simple: “Go and tell.”Resurrection doesn't end in amazement — it is launch of a life-changing mission.CONNECTING THE ENTIRE SERIESEvery miracle in John pointed to this truth, the man Jesus is exactly who He says He is… Jesus is the Son of God!The miracle of Water into wine → Jesus brings New lifeThe miracles of Healing → Jesus brings RestorationThe miracle of Provision → Jesus is MORE THAN ENOUGHThe miracle of Lazarus being raised of the dead → It is the Preview of the Life Giving, Death Defeating work that Jesus will do in the lives of people who He loves greatlyEaster / Resurrection Sunday is the miracle that explains them all.CONCLUSION: Resurrection Changes Everything… Because Jesus is risen:FORGIVENESS IS REALHOPE IS ALIVEDEATH IS DEFEATEDYOUR STORY IS NOT OVERThe tomb is empty. Jesus is alive. And because He lives — everything changes.

What does the Passover have to do with Easter/Resurrection Sunday?The answer is that Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday are the fulfillment of what the Passover foreshadowed: The Lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world. Because guilty sinners cannot escape God's judgment on their own, God provides a saving substitute in the blood of the Lamb.

Acts 4:20, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” ————— Easter (Resurrection Sunday) has ended. The pictures have been taken to commemorate the day. Perhaps, families have gathered and now gone home. A week is passed and now we head back to church on Sunday. ————— Of course, the significance and impact of the Christ's Resurrection has not diminished. The promise that was fulfilled in the empty tomb has not suddenly become nullified, nor has the miracle somehow lost its amazement. ————— But has anything changed for us? Admittedly, we would hope so, but that really truly depends on us. The aforementioned significance and impact on those first century Christians was obvious. They simply could not stop talking about it and telling others about it. Why? Because the power of the Resurrection was and is life-changing. The truth of it begs for testimony from those whose lives have been changes and for those whose eternity has been secured.

Everyone who goes to the cross can be redeemed, restored and made new.

Part 1: What is the real meaning of Easter, and why is it so celebrated by Christians?   When and why did it become as much about the Easter Bunny as about Christ?  What miracles happened and what prophecies were fulfilled?Part 2: Is the solar eclipse the end of the world as we know it, or is it another example of how God created the Heavens and the Earth?  What do all the Christians who believe this is the return of Christ do for our Witness to the lost if nothing major happens?  How do we respond to people who believe every major event is THE next event that ushers in the Second Coming?  How many times have they been wrong?

This is a message I just preached as I kicked off a new series in our Church for the month of March. I am simply calling it, Jesus. This series will last 5 weeks, all of the way up until Easter (Resurrection) Sunday. I hope you enjoy it!Support the show

This four-week series explores the implications of the resurrection. The resurrection changed everything! Through observing Scripture, we find that the resurrection proclaimed victory over sin, gave hope to believers for eternal life, and becomes the main event for the commissioning of the church to share the gospel with all the world.

He is risen! He is risen indeed! Today, Easter (Resurrection) Sunday, Pastor Mark takes a break from our Romans series to contemplate the risen Savior, Jesus Christ. Consider with us today this text from 1 Corinthians 15 and what faith/belief/being a Christian would mean if Jesus had not been literally, physically raised from the dead and the juxtaposed reality of what it means because he is risen!

In this final message from The Grace Place Lead Pastor Mike Benson on Easter (Resurrection) Sunday after 50 years of full time ministry, we look at how the cross without the resurrection would be insufficient.  The grave is empty, and our Savior is alive and well!  Thank you Pastor for your leadership, love, and devotion to the ministry and to The Grace Place.

Christians place a great deal of importance on the birth of Jesus at Christmas, and His death and resurrection at Easter (or Resurrection Sunday). Without either of these world-changing events, our faith would be worthless.As we look at Palm Sunday, Mike Stone takes us back to the scripture to remind us of the reason we celebrate this holiday, which is closely associated with Easter/Resurrection Sunday.We look primarily at the Gospel of John, chapter 12, verses 1-19. It begins in the town of Bethany--the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. They were close friends of Jesus. Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus, which attracted the attention of those Bethany and the nearby city of Jerusalem. Everyone was familiar with Jesus as the Messiah, even the Pharisees and religious leaders in Jerusalem. However, the Pharisees were not fans of Jesus. In fact, it was on this visit to Bethany that they learned He would be visiting Jerusalem. They began to plot the details of His death.The final week of Jesus' life on earth would begin with a joyous celebration by those who knew Him. Many had experienced His miracles and His teachings.Within a few short days, the Lamb of God would fulfill His mission to the world--to become the ultimate sacrifice that would bring humankind back into a right relationship with God. It would only be possible by the blood of a sinless, perfect man in the form of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.As we celebrate Palm Sunday, the Holy Week, and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us find time each day to reflect on what this week means to us as Christ-followers.------------------------FROM THE SHOW:Holy Week Devotions:https://www.crosswalk.com/special-coverage/easter/holy-week-devotional-guide.html ----------------------------------------MORE ABOUT THE PODCAST:Behind The Mike website:Support the show----------------------------------------MORE ABOUT THE PODCAST:Behind The Mike website:https://BehindTheMikePodcast.comEmail:Mike@BehindTheMike.netSUPPORT THE SHOW"Buy Me a Coffee"SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:Sponsor a Child Through Compassion:compassioninternational.sjv.io/XYxJg4Covenant EyesGet 30-days FREE using promo code: BEHINDTHEMIKEhttps://covenanteyes.comWatch these podcasts on YouTube!Follow Us!FacebookInstagramTi...

What better way to blaspheme the requel of Jesus Christ than to celebrate with Critters 2: The Main Course, a sequel directed by Mick Garris that sees the Crites resuming their attack on a small town, this time on Easter! While neither of us are huge fans of the Critters series, we certainly make it known why this movie falls short of more likely resembles a Leprechaun sequel - we talk the bounty hunters, the Easter setting, the lack of critters attacks, and more!
