Well, good morning again. Hey, I hope as you're planning on your Easter outfit next Sunday, you have plan A and plan B, right? If it's 90 degrees like it's been, you got plan A. If it's snowing like they're predicting, you got plan B. But we're going to have church next week. Regardless if the weather is what we want it to be, we will meet here and have a great time celebrating our Lord's resurrection. Um, if you're just joining us here this Sunday, we've been in a series called Worship Matters. And here's what we've been trying to do in this series is we're really trying to understand worship because we use this word worship no matter what church you go to, no matter where that church is, this word worship is used in so many different types of conversations. And what we've tried to do in this series is better understand what worship is. In fact, the definition we've come up with, and if you've got your hand out and taking notes, you can write this down. It's the same definition, a simple definition that we've been using all series long. And it says this, worship is our wholehearted response to who God is and what he has done. Worship is our wholehearted response to who God is and what he has done in our life. And throughout this series, we've looked at different individuals both in the Old Testament and the New Testament. And we looked and examined together how did they experience worship. And so the first week we came together and we looked at the woman who came and washed Jesus's feet with her tears. and actually dried them off with his hair and anointed him with expensive perfume. It was her form of worship. Um, and then we we looked in the in the book of Isaiah then when Isaiah the prophet was taken up in a dream up in heaven and he came into the Lord's presence. And the Bible says that God's presence filled the the whole room with his robe and angels were singing. And we learn that worship really begins with the idea that we understand that we're forgiven because God forgives us and graces us the way he does. then we can offer him our worship. Well, today what I thought we would do in honor of Palm Sunday is look at maybe one of the largest worship gatherings the entire scripture other than the book of Revelations. The entire scripture describes us. And we'll be looking at what's often called the triumphal entry of Jesus. It's that moment that that this holiday of the palm branches is instituted. And it's a time that Jesus comes into the city on the week before he's to be crucified. And all of the town is recognizing him as somebody amazing. In fact, the Bible describes as we read it in here just a second that the whole town came out and they would what we would say they worshiped him. And so let's look at that together today. It's in John, I'm sorry, Luke 19 28. If you brought your Bibles, you can look at it there. It's in the handout that we gave you or it's going to be up here on the screens. But here's what the Bible how the Bible describes this big gigantic massive kind of all city worship service. It says there in verse 28 and after telling this story meaning Jesus had been talking to some of his disciples and teaching outside of Jerusalem. After telling this story Jesus went on toward Jerusalem walking ahead with his disciples. It's at this moment in his life that Jesus being fully man and fully God knows exactly what's about to happen to him. He knows in the next seven days he would be crucified on the cross. But his disciples didn't quite understand what was going on. And so he begins walking into town with him made some different provisions. But there in verse 35 it says this. So they meaning the disciples. So they brought a colt to Jesus and they threw their garments over it for him to ride on. Um, you can look at the same account in all four different gospels. Some of the gospels says colt while others says a donkey. Just keep in mind as Luke describes it as a colt, he's not meaning the colt of a horse. It is the colt. It's the offspring of a donkey. And so Jesus comes into Jerusalem on this day riding on the back of a donkey. Now some may wonder, well, why would the Bible record such a seemingly insignificant ne detail? It's because if you go back to the Old Testament to Zechariah chapter 9:9, this moment in history was actually prophesied by the prophet hundreds and hundreds of years prior to this that the Savior would come into the town riding on the back of a donkey. And so little did everyone know at that moment that Jesus is actually not stepping into the future, he's stepping into what the past had predicted the future would bring. And then it goes on to say in verse 36, "And as he Jesus rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him." Can you imagine if I would have walked in this morning, I came a few minutes late to church and everybody kind of turns their head and sees the pastor walking down the aisle and all of a sudden you're a guest here and not think anything unusual until everybody just started taking off their jackets and laying them on the floor so I could walk on their jackets. At that point, you'd probably say, "I'm out of here." Right? That's a little strange. That's a little odd. Well, what was going on at the moment in the life of Jesus as he rode into town on this donkey? The people actually began to take their outer robes off and lay him on the ground. This was a very traditional act, something they had seen throughout history. And this is what individuals would do when a king was coming in. And it was their way to honor the king. In fact, as he was coming in, it was really just their way of saying, "You are important." Now, why do they think he was important? because he was Jesus. But here's what was going on at this moment. As he was coming into town, the people were taking their jackets off. They were laying them on the floor. They were honoring him. They were celebrating him. But here was the tension that was taking place in the streets of Jerusalem at that moment. Jesus was coming in as the son of God. Jesus was coming in as the king, the Messiah king. But all the uproar, all the celebration, all the things going on, the people had a different idea in mind of who Jesus was. In fact, one historian put it this way. He said, "For centuries, the Jewish people had lived under control of foreign empires, the Babylons, the Persia, the Greece, and now they were living under the empire of Rome, and they were never fully experiencing the freedom that they longed for." And here's what you have to understand. So says this historian that Roman rule in particular was very heavy. It was marked by high taxes, military presence, and a constant reminder that the Jewish people were not their own nation. Yet they clung to God's promises of a coming Messiah, a king from the royal line of David who would restore Israel to its original kingdom and bring justice and peace. And this story goes on to say this. So when Jesus entered Jerusalem that day, many saw him as the long awaited deliverer who would overthrow Rome and reclaim their national identity. So everybody shows up. They're throwing their coats on the ground. They're all cheering him. They're excited. They're saying he's the king. But they had the wrong type of king in mind. They thought he was going to be more of a national hero than an eternal hero before them. In fact, they were celebrating as they put their do their their garments on the ground and they were just exclaiming, "We honor you." It's interesting. You can read another version in one of the gospels and it says this in John 12 as it describes the same environment. It says, "And they took branches of palm trees and they went out to meet him." So there was another tradition back in that day 2,000 years ago when somebody important would come in, not only would they lay their coats on the ground for the person to walk on, they would pull out the palm branches and they would just start waving them. That's the reason you have palm branches in your hand right now and we refer today the day that Jesus came into the city a week before his crucifixion as Palm Sunday. In fact, if you'd been there that day, it would have been like a modern-day ticker tape parade. Instead of confetti, instead of streamers, instead of big banners they're holding up, they've just got palm branches and the whole entire street is just being waved with palm branches as Jesus is walking down. And then in verse 37, it says, "And when he reached," talking about Jesus, "when he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen." Like I said earlier, as I introduced this morning, it was like one of the largest worship services that the world had ever seen. Can you imagine if let's just pretend like a little bit. Let's like really stretch and pretend. Let's pretend that the Rockies win the World Series this year. Okay, like I said, we're going to pretend it's going to be a stretch, right? But there would be a parade and a ticker tape parade in the middle of the streets of Denver like we've never seen before because they won the World Series and everybody showed up. It would be the biggest party ever. That's exactly what was taking place in the streets of Jerusalem on this day that Jesus comes riding in on his donkey. And the Bible says this in verse 38 that they begin shouting. And this is what they shouted. Blessings on the king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory on highest heaven. If you were an onlooker at that moment, you're going, he's arrived. But remember, the tension is who is he? Jesus is coming as the king, the son of God, but the people want to raise him up as the king that would take care of them as a nation. In fact, over in John, he wrote it this way. They said they shouted this one, "Hosana, blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the King of Israel." When they referred to him and shouted out, "Hosana. Hosana." They were really saying, "You're our savior. You're our savior." And you and I can look in retrospect and know he was the savior because of their sins. All the Jewish people in the streets and they were exclaiming him to be the savior of their nation that they would return them to the prestige that they felt like they were owed as a nation and individual country for God. And so it was a day of celebration. It was a day of emotion. It it was a day of excitement because here came Jesus in the middle of the street and everybody came out and said, "He's the one. Let's honor him. He's the one. He's the one." It appears when you read this story to be this spontaneous exclamation of worship. But here's what we also know. It was also a day of worship gone wrong. You're going, "Hold a second, pastor. Like I thought this was a big day in the life of of Jesus. I mean it's recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. All the guys wrote about it. Wasn't this a big day? Wasn't this the day of his arrival? It was the day of his arrival in Jerusalem. But he was arriving in a form and a fashion that people wanted something different than who he really was. So they were worshiping Jesus. They were celebrating Jesus. Not why God sent him. They were celebrating and worshiping him and who they wanted him to be. So it was a day of celebration, but it was a day of celebration that had gone wrong. They had wanted a king who would overthrow Rome. They wanted a liberator. They wanted a national hero. They wanted a savior, hosana, our savior, who was someone who would come in and fix their immediate problems, not their eternal problems. So they were worshiping, they were celebrating, but they were doing it all for the wrong reasons. Let's go back to a second to our definition of worship that we have used throughout this whole entire series. And here's what it says. That worship is worshiping Jesus for who he was and what he has done. They weren't worshiping Jesus for who he was and what he had done. They were worshiping Jesus for who they wanted him to be and what they wanted him to do. Do you see the difference? Do do you see the tension that's building up in the street? It may not have been overt, but it was definitely internal in what was going on. Here's the bottom line. The crowd simply got Jesus wrong. Externally they were doing it right, but internally they had got it wrong. They had the right volume, but they had the wrong vision. When they were celebrating, they were falling into the trap of shaping Jesus into their own image instead of letting Jesus shape them into his image. So the volume was right but the vision was wrong. And so I believe this the reason that all four of the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all four of them record in details Jesus's triumphal entry from the Mount of Olives into Jerusalem with everybody screaming and shouting and praising his name. The reason it's put in there in the scripture is not to give us an example, but to give us a warning. Because I wonder how many times does our worship go to Jesus who we want him to be and not who he really is supposed to be in our lives. I wonder as followers of Jesus, are we just as guilty of all the Jewish people in the streets that day that they were shaping Jesus into their own image? And how many times in our worship and our life following Jesus are we trying to shape him into our image rather than letting him shape us into his image. So I think the triumphal entry the story in the scripture is one that we need to pay attention to. But we need to pay attention to it more as a warning of what we shouldn't do than as an example of what we should be doing.

Bottom line is they just got Jesus wrong. So here's my question this morning. Who is the real Jesus we should worship? If if he's not the Jesus that the Jewish people 2,000 years ago had formed him into the shape and size they wanted him to be and we can fall into that same trap of forming and shaping him into the person we want him to be in our lives. Then the question is who is the real Jesus? Who is the Jesus that we should be adjusting our lives to rather than him adjust us adjusting him to us? And so here's what I want to do because this passage is more of a warning than an example. I think we would be wise today as we enter into the Holy Week, a week of observing the the death and the burial and the resurrection of Jesus to make sure that you and I are worshiping the correct Jesus. And so I want to give you four very biblical descriptions of who Jesus is. When I say biblical, I don't mean personal because personal is when I shape him. But the Bible tells me who he is and I adjust my life to that. And so if you're taking notes, here's the first just description of Jesus that the Bible clearly tells us who he is. Jesus is the son of God and not just a good teacher. There's no doubt in our mind. You can read the New Testament. He was an amazing teacher. If you don't follow along the New Testament, go watch the chosen. He was an amazing teacher, right? But he was more than a good teacher. He is the son of God. You see, Jesus didn't just teach about God. He claimed to be God in the flesh. That was the tension that the Pharisees had against him. They thought he was heretical that he came in and claimed to be God. But Jesus was the son of God. In fact, in the book of Colossians, this is how Paul describes him. It says Christ, meaning Jesus, Christ is the invisible image of the invisible God. He is God in human form on earth. Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was ever created and he is supreme over all creation. So here's what we have to understand. If Jesus is more than just a good teacher and he is the son of God, he's not just somebody we learn from. He is somebody that we answer to with our lives. As the son of God, we don't get to edit Jesus. We don't get to reshape him. And we don't get to soften his words. His words are strong. His words come with authority. His words are true because he is the son of God. You see, if Jesus is the son of God, here's options we have. We either submit to him or we reject him. Those are the only two options we have as a son of God. What we try to do is put a line put over here and a foot over here. Well, I'll submit to you, but I kind of want my own way to Godm. No, we either submit to him or reject him. Those are the two options we have as a son of God. But here's the great news about Jesus as a son of God. He didn't stay distant. He was here before the creation of the world, but he didn't remain in his throne up in heaven going, "I'll just look down and hope the people try to figure out who I am." He didn't remain distant. He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey as a sign of peace and as a sign of closeness. The son of God, Jesus, came near to us so we would know who he is. He didn't just come to take power. The son of God came to lay down his life. And so the Jesus that we are to remember, the Jesus that we are to worship, we must remember he was more than just a good teacher. He is the son of God. Let me give you the second thing, the second description. Biblical description. Again, these are biblical descriptions that telling us who God is and us not trying to make or telling us who Jesus is and us not trying to shape Jesus into who we want him to be. Here's the second description. Jesus is the savior. He's not just a prophet. There are a lot of people out there, a lot of religions that will identify and recognize Jesus and say he is a good me good teacher. Others will say he is a prophet. But they stop short of saying he is a son of God and he is the savior. You see a prophet warns you about sin while a savior comes to save you from your sin. Did you catch that one for a second? That's the big difference. A prophet will come to warn you about sin, but a savior will come to save you from sin. And here's what we have to understand. This word sin, we don't like to use it too often right now. We say it's kind of kind of old school here and we don't like to think sin is sin. Sin is when we miss the mark. Sin is when we disobey God. Sin is when we go our way and not God's way. And the Savior came to save us from our sin. Here's what John 3:16 says in verse 17. For this is how God loved the world. He gave his one and only son so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but will have eternal life. And God sent his son into the world not to judge the world but to save the world through him. So many people know John 3:16, but we miss 17. But God sent his son into the world not to judge the world but to save the world through him. Did you catch the simplicity of God's plan? He took his son Jesus who has began since the creation of the world. He sent him down to be on this earth. And the simplicity God says this, if you believe in him as a son of God and as a savior of the world, you will be saved from your sins. It doesn't get much simpler than that. You see, believing in Jesus is more than just trusting him. It's surrendering to him. When an individual says, "Jesus, I believe in you." You believe in him enough to say, "And here is my life and I surrender it to you." Again, let's go back this idea of a prophet and Jesus. A prophet can warn you. A prophet can point out the danger. A prophet can tell you the truth. But a prophet can't take your place. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins." As you read scripture, Jesus was completely perfect as a son of God, fully man, son, but fully God. He lived a perfect life. There was no sin in him. He had no need to die except to die for our sins. So he's our savior because he took our place. He took our sin. He took our guilt and he bore our punishment.

He stepped up and said, "It's his responsibility. It's your responsibility. It's her responsibility for our sin." But he stepped up and said, "But I will take your place

on the cross as our savior." The Bible says clearly that Jesus paid for our sin. That's the reason we do communion every single week. We value that as a church. Jesus set it up as something we do to remember him because we can never forget. It is his death on the cross and then in his resurrection that gives us salvation. But here's the great thing about Jesus. He's simple. Simply trust and believe. Jesus, I believe you're the son of God. Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and I'm a sinner. I trust you and I surrender my life to you. The simplicity of the Savior. But there's something else that Jesus is too. If you're taking notes, you can write this down. He is our both our um our our savior. He is the son of God. But the Bible also says Jesus is Lord. Jesus is Lord. He's not just someone that we fit into our life where it's convenient. The best definition I can give you for Lord is simply boss. Scripture says if you believe in your heart that Jesus is the son of God and you trust him as your Lord, you give him your life, you make him your boss. Here's how Jesus put it in in the book of Luke. He said the crowd in book Luke 9:23, "If any of you wants to be my follower," he says, "you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and you follow him." Did you catch that? There's a simplicity of the trust. There is a simplicity of the surrender. But surrender says this, that you give up your own way and you follow Jesus. See, we don't just adjust our lives to him. We surrender our lives to him as our boss. You don't follow Jesus when it's convenient. You don't just obey when you agree. And you don't just trust him when it makes sense. You completely surrender your life to Jesus. On that day that Jesus was riding on the donkey and people were clapping and people were shouting and they were waving their palm branches and they were laying their coats on the street as he walked by them. They weren't adjusting their life to surrender to him. They were simply trying to make him so they could fit their lives into who he was and he could fit their lives into who they were. It was almost like they were trying to create a partnership, not a lordship. And they missed who Jesus was. You see, when he's your Lord, it means he gets a say so in your decisions. It means he gets a say so in your relationships. He gets a say so in your priorities. He gets a say so in all of your future. That's what it means for Jesus to be Lord. If Jesus fits into your life, you stay in control. But if he's your Lord, you surrender control. Did you catch that? If you simply fit him into your life, you stay in control. But if you make him your Lord and boss, you surrender your control to him. But here's the good news. As Lord, he's your boss. Unfortunately, some of us have had these images in our head of what a boss is because you've had a boss before. And too many times the bosses that we've had are not the fun, enjoyable, nice bosses that you ever want to have again. And so when you have this idea of Jesus being your boss, you can only picture him being the type of boss that you had, your negative boss, as an earthly boss. But here's what I want you to know today, church. The Jesus that we worship, the real Jesus, the real Jesus that came walking in on that street 2,000 years ago to give his life for us. That Jesus while he demands to be our Lord if we follow him as Lord, he's not harsh, he's not abusive, and he's not indifferent. As Lord, he is loving, he is kind, and he is compassionate. That's the reason on that day 2,000 years ago in the prophecy of Zachchariah, he came riding in on a donkey. He came with peace. He came with love. He came approachable. He came personal. He was amongst the people though he wasn't of the people.

as Lord. While he demands your full following, he is so polite and allows you to do it on your own of his kindness, his compassion, his lovingness. You see, surrendering to Jesus isn't losing your life. Surrendering to Jesus is placing your your hands in someone placing it in the hands of someone who knows what to do with it. See, when you when you say, "Jesus, be my Lord. Be my boss. Here, I surrender to you." It's not like he's going, "Well, let me see how rough I can make his life. Let me see how far I can stretch this person. Let me see how far I can get them to the edge before they just scream and can't hang on any longer." He is like a mother who takes a child in her hands for the first time and holds that baby with such love and compassion and dearness to her heart. But as she holds that baby in her hands, she knows better than the baby how to lead and guide and grow that baby up. And that's what it means for lordship. Jesus takes you, you surrender your life, but he holds you in his hands in such a way that he says, "Trust me because I know better than you. Trust me because I made you. Trust me because I created you for a purpose." And he wants to take you in his lordship in your life and direct your ways and ways better than you could ever direct yourself. So that's the Jesus we worship. Let me give you one more. Jesus, the fourth one. If you're taking notes, the Bible lets us know who is the real Jesus. Not the one the crowds tried to make him out to be on that day, but who is the real Jesus that we should be worshiping. Jesus is the only way to God. He is not one of many options. Jesus didn't come riding down that street that day going, "Hey, check me out. If you don't like me, the next street over, they got somebody over there. And if you don't like that one, there's someone else on the next street over." He's going, "This is the way right here." And more than this is the way. He claimed I am the way. John 14 chapter 14 verse 6. This is what Jesus said. I am the way, the truth, and the life. And in Jesus' own words, he went on to say, "No one can come to the father except through me." Did you notice he says, "I am the way and not a way." And too many times the Jesus that we want to create to worship is the Jesus like, "Well, Jesus, you're good here and I'll put a little bit of this over here and a little bit of this over here and I'll just kind of create my own God with a little bit of this." And we just make Jesus more like a sprinkling and a spice that we put into our whoever whatever we're trying to create as our God. And she goes, "No, no. I'm the Lord. I'm the Savior. I am the son of God. I am the only way. Now, sometimes people hear that going, "Well, that's what I don't like about Christianity. It seems so exclusive for Jesus to claim he is the only way when there's all these other religions in the world and they got their way and their way, but Jesus is claiming he is the only way. Isn't that kind of exclusive?" Well, here's how to respond to that. Yes, it is exclusive, but it's not restricted. Now stick with me. When Jesus says, "I am the way, the only way to God," it is exclusive because he's going, "This is exclusively the only way to God." But it is not an exclusiveness. It is not restricted. In Romans chapter 10, this is what scripture says. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. So the invitation is for all to come to him. But the invitation for all is the only way to God is through him. So it may feel and seem exclusive but it is not restricted. You see the only reason that Jesus is a better way maybe I should say it this way. The only way reason that Jesus is the only way compared to other religions other religions combine themselves they find themselves on oh you want to get to God you got to try harder you got to be better. You got to earn your way. But Jesus said, "No, no, no. You can't earn your way to heaven. You can't be good enough to get to God. The only way to God is what? Trust. I believe." And so it may be exclusive, but it doesn't leave people out. It it may be um exclusive, but it's not restrictive. But here's what I would say too. It may be exclusive, but it's not difficult. Because the work of our salvation was done on the cross, not by our hands and feet of what we try to do during the week.

And so salvation is through Jesus and Jesus alone. Jesus didn't come just to show the way. He came to be the way. That's why we should worship Jesus. If there is any other way to God, then we ought to try. But there is no other way to God. Jesus is the way. So on that day, on that day that Jesus was with his disciples and he came on a donkey and they start riding in and all the crowds start waving their palm branches and they're shouting, "Hosana, you're the king. You're the savior. Come on, Jesus." And they're all thinking, "He's the one." They missed the wrong Jesus. They had created their own Jesus in their own ideas, their own image. But what we have the ability and the opportunity today is to see and recognize and worship the real Jesus. So they had a ticker tape parade for not the real winner. They had their palm branches, but it wasn't the right one they were waving the palm branches to. But we have the opportunity today on Palm Sunday to worship, to sing, to recognize, to honor, and even wave a palm branch if you want to for the right Jesus. And so we're going to conclude our service today with a little reenactment of Palm Sunday 2,000 years ago. But we're going to be a little different. We're going to make sure we got the right Jesus in our mind. The Jesus who's the savior. The Jesus who's the son of God. The Jesus who is the only way to God. That is who we're going to worship today. And so I'm going ask you to do me a favor. Would you stand where you are? Now I'm going have to kind of change the mood, the moment of the service here for a second. You've been sitting so quietly and listening so nicely, but that's over with. Okay. Okay. What we're going to do is the king is in the room. I want us to recognize that Bible says this that Jesus said this where two or more are gathered, God Jesus is surely in the midst. So Jesus is in the room. Now if the actual Jesus came walking in the aisle, would it get your attention? Yeah. I mean, if Jesus himself showed up here, it would change how we worshiped. And so I'm going to invite you not just remember Palm Sunday 2,000 years ago, but to step into Palm Sunday 2,000 years ago. For the King is in the room.

Here we go.

Let me see those palm branches.

Come open the doors and make way. The king is in the room. The king is in the room. Expected for strongholds to break. Cuz we know what you can do. We know what you can do. We're going to see lives changed, souls saved, broken hearts made new. The King is in the room.

Lord, we enthrone you upon our race. The King is in the room.

There's freedom and life. where you reign. Jesus, we bow holy to you. We're laying down all of our crowns. The king is in the room.

Hey,

come see all the captives run free. He's tearing down the walls. He's tearing down the walls. There's grave shaking power when we sing the name above them all. Your name above them all. The king is in the room.

Lord, we enthrone you upon our praise. The king is in the room.

Freedom and life anywhere you bring. Jesus, we bow. Only to you. We're laying down all of our crowns. The king is in the row.

Fear has to flee. Shame has to leave before the king. Before the king, chains have to break. Dry bones awake. Prepare the way. Oh, fear has to flee. Fear has to leave before the cave. Before the cave. Chains have to break. Dry bones away. Prepare the way. Hey, the king is in the room.

Lord, we ain't thrown you upon our grace. The king is in the room.

There's freedom and life anyway. Jesus, we holy to you. They're laying down all of our bounds. The king is in the road. Hey, the king is in the road.

Can't wait to see what you're going to do. Every mountain has to move.

Prepare the way. The king is in the room.
