So he is to lift up from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with some of its oil and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and burn it up as smoke on the altar for a soothing aroma, as its memorial portion to Adonai. Then what is left from it Aaron and his sons are to eat. It is to be eaten as matzah in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. (Lev 6:8-9 TLV)
SUNDAY MESSAGE
"PALM SUNDAY WEEK"
John Chapters 12-14
[Sing to the Lord, lift up your voices]
OPENING PRAYER
O Mighty God, let us never, ever become indifferent to this season and its global and celestial events. We do not celebrate, we commemorate as we recall with bitter anguish, the death of our King, our Savior, the Messiah by crucifixion...and then...we witness the fulfillment of the WORD and a resurrection as the sun rises on the LORD'S DAY, Sunday, the first day of the New covenant. Give us attentive ears, focused eyes and open souls in which to absorb and embrace the awesomeness of HIS will, Our GOD, Jesus the CHRIST, AMEN
MESSAGE
Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. (Joh 12:1)
So they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him. (Joh 12:2)
Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. (Joh 12:3)
But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, said, (Joh 12:4)
"Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?" (Joh 12:5)
Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it. (Joh 12:6)
Therefore Jesus said, "Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial. (Joh 12:7)
"For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me." (Joh 12:8)
The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead. (Joh 12:9)
But the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also; (Joh 12:10)
because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus. (Joh 12:11)
On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, (Joh 12:12) Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written, (Joh 12:14)
"FEAR NOT, DAUGHTER OF ZION; BEHOLD, YOUR KING IS COMING, SEATED ON A DONKEY'S COLT." (Joh 12:15)
The crowd took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, "Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel." (Joh 12:13) In the Hebrew they met Him, shouting, “‘Hoshia-na! Baruch ha-ba b’shem Adonai! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ The King of Israel!” (Joh 12:13 TLV)
C.I. Scofield once wrote this sobering realization; "Celebrated by an unthinking multitude whose real belief is expressed thusly; And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee."{Mat 21:11}, but there was no welcome from the official representatives of the nation, [Jesus] was soon to hear the multitude shout: "Crucify him."
These things [even] His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him. (Joh 12:16)
So the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, continued to testify about Him. (Joh 12:17)
For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign. (Joh 12:18)
So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are not doing any good; look, the world has gone after Him." (Joh 12:19)
Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. (Joh 13:1)
During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, (Joh 13:2)
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, (Joh 13:3)
got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself. (Joh 13:4)
Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. (Joh 13:5)
So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet?" (Joh 13:6)
Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter." (Joh 13:7)
Peter said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." (Joh 13:8)
Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head." (Joh 13:9)
Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." (Joh 13:10)
For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean." (Joh 13:11)
So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? (Joh 13:12)
"You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. (Joh 13:13)
"If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one anther's feet. (Joh 13:14)
"For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you. (Joh 13:15)
"Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. (Joh 13:16)
"If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. (Joh 13:17)
"I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.' (Joh 13:18)
SUMMARY
"From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He. (Joh 13:19)
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me." (Joh 13:20)
When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me." (Joh 13:21)
The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. (Joh 13:22)
There was reclining on Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. (Joh 13:23)
So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking." (Joh 13:24)
He, leaning back thus on Jesus' bosom, said to Him, "Lord, who is it?" (Joh 13:25)
Jesus then answered, "That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him." So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. (Joh 13:26)
After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly." (Joh 13:27)
Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. (Joh 13:28)
For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we have need of for the feast"; or else, that he should give something to the poor. (Joh 13:29)
So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night. (Joh 13:30)
Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him; (Joh 13:31)
if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately. (Joh 13:32)
"Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' (Joh 13:33)
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. (Joh 13:34)
"By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (Joh 13:35)
The hour was late. As they departed from Jerusalem walking to the Garden of Gethsemane. Along the way, Jesus warns; "All of you will be made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written: 'I WILL STRIKE THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK WILL BE SCATTERED.' But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee." (Mat 26:31-32)
Having said these words, the apostles still could not connect the dots and realize the horror that was about to unfold. It would be through this horrible event and the events of the past three years of His ministry...that the brilliant LIGHT of Almighty God's mercy and love would finally shine throughout the whole earth! On this Holy PALM SUNDAY, Let us pray...
CLOSING PRAYER
O' Lord Jesus, our hearts are filled with dread over that which you will suffer in the hours ahead. Your Father, our Father guides the events from His throne in heaven. Being born of a woman, and living in the fleshly tent, being fully God and Fully Human, opens the flood gates of emotion that is uniquely human. We worship You, love, fear, follow and obey You because You loved us first. To YOU, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, we earnestly pray for Your return, Lord Jesus, AMEN
[THE LORD'S SUPPER]
[Sing a song to the Lord, lift up your voices]
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heaven-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
AMEN
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
