At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor Rev. Craig Bailey preached in his First Peter sermon series focusing on having a consistent life as devoted disciples--our "insides" matching our "outsides."
We continue our Lenten journey this Palm Sunday with "The Bystander".

Matthew 21 begins the final days of Jesus’ ministry. Matthew’s gospel has shown us who Jesus is by showing us his miracles and sharing his greatest teachings. All of Matthew’s gospel describes the kingdom of heaven. Remember that Jesus began his ministry by preaching the message to the people of Capernaum [in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali … a dark territory] … “From that time Jesus began to preach saying ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” [Matt 4:17] And then again Matthew tells us that Jesus “went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom …” [Matt 4:23] The theme of the kingdom climaxes in chapters 21 to 28 of Matthew. Today, Matthew shares with us the day that Jesus enters Jerusalem. He had been in the city many times throughout his ministry, but he enters a different way this time. Today he enters in a grand performance … with purpose … declaring his royal authority. The final chapters of Matthew’s gospel will focus on Christ’s authority, the challenges to his authority, HIS teaching on authority through parables, and his warning to the arrogance of authority in the Pharisees and Scribes and to a barren fig tree. If it had not been for Zechariah’s prophecy, then surely Jesus would have only been a laughing spectacle for all to see. Only Matthew’s account connects the event of Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem to Zechariah’s prophecy. Mark and Luke’s account speak of the day from different perspectives. Here in Matthew 21:5, the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 is shown as the Old Testament evidence of Jesus’ authority and reason for riding a donkey on this day. The intentional choice of riding on a donkey was God’s way of publicly declaring once again the nature of the Kingdom of Heaven. God’s kingdom is built on humility and carrying the burden of all sin for us. Just as a Donkey is a lowly and humble animal, the beast also carries the burdens placed upon it, Jesus likewise is a humble king who carries the burdens of all sins willingly … HE places the burden of sin upon himself … no one sets that burden upon HIM. He then sits upon this beast of burden carrying salvation with him.

The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem marks Jesus’ last week before his crucifixion and resurrection. It is marked with layers of royal imagery and disappointed expectation. This event is recounted in all four gospels, but Matthew’s account alone references two animals brought to Jesus, a donkey and a colt, as a more direct citation of Zechariah’s prophecy [Zech 9:9 / Matt 21:5]. Yet what we will see in this story is the divine orchestration of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. The Old Testament references reassert the kingly image, not just from the prophet Zechariah but also from the history of the Kings of Israel. These connections between the two testaments point to the divine hand of God guiding all of human history to this final week of Jesus’ life. This week of passion, this week of suffering, death, and resurrection is the pivotal week of all human history. This is the week of salvation, the week when God the Father ushers in the restoration of his fallen creation through the blood of His Son, Jesus.

The peace and growth of God’s kingdom depends on the blood of his coming king.
How do you feel when your expectations are not met? How do you respond when your expectations are not met? Jesus doesn't always come in the way we expect, but he always comes in the way that we need

Today is Palm Sunday ... a day of rich significance to the Church when Jesus's triumphal arrival in Jerusalem is remembered. In this season of isolation and social-distancing, we desire an end to the separation ... and end to the anxiety. The hope of the Christian in the midst of forced "stay-at-home" orders is that we can once again come together in joy and celebration ... Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem was a joyous conclusion to generations of waiting. During this time of uncertainty amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic, many churches in the Cookeville, TN Community and around the country must avoid gathering. While we must not meet in person, we can study God's Word together while staying at home.
