Passion of the Passover
Introduction: Illustration - A pastor received a Christmas card with a note in it, from a lady in his congregation.
He said she was very complimentary about his preaching and compared him with Chuck Swindoll.
She finished by writing, "I think you are one of the really great preachers of all time."
Later that day, when he showed the note to his wife, she asked, "Who is that woman?"
He replied, "She is a very intelligent woman in the congregation who loves great preaching."
He then asked his wife, "How many great preachers do you suppose there really are in the world?"
She replied, "One less than you think."
Today of course is known as Palm Sunday, and often times a message will be preached on the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.
As Jesus enters the city the laying of the palm branches by the people becomes a jubilant celebration, and the reason for the name of Palm Sunday.
Today, however, I want to carry us on a little further past that entrance to a scene in an upper room.
READ TEXT
PRAYER
In the shadow of the cross Jesus is spiritually focused upon surrendering to his suffering, but the disciples are temporally focused upon elevating self.
So, Jesus takes one last opportunity to teach and guide those he loves.
Transitional Sentence and Keyword: Today I want to examine with you the elements in Luke’s account: Jesus’ passion, the Disciples’ problem, and Satan’s plan.
Passion
This English word comes from a similar sounding Latin word for suffering or enduring.
It is the term used in Christianity for the short but most significant time of Jesus’ young life and ministry.
Most people today are probably familiar with it by way of Mel Gibson’s movie a few years ago, “The Passion of The Christ.”
Its beginning is the entry into Jerusalem described a moment ago, and its climatic ending comes upon the cross on that hill called Calvary, so passionately penned in that old hymn we sing:
On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross
The emblem of suff'ring and shame
In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To pardon and sanctify me
In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To pardon and sanctify me
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

I. Jesus’ Passion was His purpose and is intended to become our Passion and purpose.

I. Jesus’ Passion was His purpose and is intended to become our Passion and purpose.
His passion was His purpose.
In we see Jesus saying how he longed to gather the people of Jerusalem unto himself, but they were not willing.
They turned him away and soon would turn him over to be crucified.
His passion was His purpose.

Back in our text in v.19 - Jesus explains the passover saying He is giving himself for them unto death.
v.37 - Jesus quotes from and the Suffering Servant passage, saying the time has come for Him to complete all that God the Father’s purpose for Him.
The word “accomplish” carries the meaning of finish or pay.
Jesus paid the penalty owed by us as a sinful race to a Holy God.
v.37 - Jesus quotes from and the Suffering Servant passage, saying the time has come for Him to fulfill or complete all that God has said about Him throughout scripture from as the seed until the NT as the Savior.
It is in Jesus that all the OT prophecies find their fulfillment.
This is the very purpose for which God the Father sent Jesus to not to be served but to give his life a ransom for many, and the passion of Jesus is to please the father and bring Him glory.
This verse is another one pointing us to the theological doctrine of the Substitutionary or Representative Atonement of Christ.
He takes our place to accomplish what we could not.
The word accomplish carries the meaning of finish or pay.
Jesus paid the penalty owed by us a sinful race to a Holy God.
In Jesus declares this as the very purpose for which the Father sent and the Son went, “not to be served but to give his life a ransom for many,” and the passion of Jesus was to please the Father and bring Him glory.
to not to be served but to give his life a ransom for many, and the passion of Jesus is to please the father and bring Him glory.
In a similar passage about Jesus teaching on the true meaning of greatness, , He makes it plain, that He did not come to be served but to serve by giving His life for us.
In 5 different passages, 4 Gospel and Acts; , , , , and , we find different times where Jesus conveyed to His followers that once He went back to the Father and the Holy Spirit came to give them power, they were to carry that message of the old rugged cross to all peoples, tribes, nations and tongues.
Christian theology broadened it to include the love of Christ for mankind.
Now, the passion of Christ means that he willingly suffered and died for us.
We sing about our belief in this truth in that Old Hymn:
In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To pardon and sanctify me
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
He says that faithfulness will be rewarded in the coming Kingdom at the end of the age.What is it about believing Jesus was passionate about us enough to sing about it church, yet not enough to say it to lost people?
Where does the disconnect happen?
Do we really not believe it but just sing it, or is it that we have not let it penetrate our souls deep enough to where we become as passionate as Christ was?
What stands in our way?

If we believe Jesus was passionate about us
Do you believe Jesus was passionate about saving your soul from hell and forgiving your sins?Do you believe you are loved by a Holy God?
What we believe determines what we do.
Our core beliefs drive our daily behavior, but what is it about that belief that causes us to sing about it in church, yet remain silent around lost people who are not forgiven?
Where is the disconnect?
Do we not believe Hell is real?
Have we have not let it penetrate our souls deep enough to move us to be as passionate as Christ was about unbelievers?
What stands in our way?
