Title: Three Personal Questions from the Triumphal Entry
INTRODUCTION:
I- AM I WILLING TO BE COMPLETELY OBEDIENT TO CHRIST?
().
28 After telling this story, Jesus went on toward Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples.
29 As he came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead.
30 “Go into that village over there,” he told them.
“As you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden.
Untie it and bring it here.
31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying that colt?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’
” 32 So they went and found the colt, just as Jesus had said.
33 And sure enough, as they were untying it, the owners asked them, “Why are you untying that colt?” 34 And the disciples simply replied, “The Lord needs it.”
A- I must decide if Jesus is who He claims to be.
1- Both the disciples and the owners of the donky colt had to make this determination.
() “46 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?
47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it.
48 It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock.
When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built.
49 But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation.
When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”
a- Is Jesus the Lord of my life?
Am I seeking to find out how he wants me to live in my daily life?
I am to seek to please him in every area of my life.
() “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
b- Am I striving to obey what He shows me to do in my daily life?
do not depend on your own understanding.
b- Am I striving to obey what He shows me to do in my daily life?
6 Seek his will in all you do,
How can I call Him Lord and refuse to obey?
and he will show you which path to take.
b- Am I striving to obey what He shows me to do in my daily life?
“46 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?
c- If not, you have not yielded to Christ’s lordship in your life.
2- It is foolish to refuse to obey his teachings.
a- Storms, tests, and trials are going to come into your life-that is a given fact!
b- If you seek God’s directions and strive to obey them, you will have the strength to endure life’s storms, tests, and trials.
c- If you do not seek His direction or refuse to obey him, your life will collapse in ruin.
B- I must decide if I can trust Jesus and commit to completely obey Him.
The disciples had to decide if Jesus’ prediction could be trusted and had to commit to a corresponding course of action.
47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it.
48 It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock.
When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built.
49 But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation.
When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”
1- It is foolish to refuse to obey his teachings.
a- Storms, tests, and trials are going to come into my life-that is a given fact!
b- If I seek God’s directions and strive to obey them, I will have the strength to endure life’s storms, tests, and trials.
c- If I do not seek His direction or refuse to obey him, my life will collapse in ruin.
2- Ultimately, I must make the choice-obedience or disobedience.
a- To attempt to avoid making a decision is to make a decision to be disobedient.
Refusal to seek His direction is choosing to disobey!
Ignorance is not bliss- especially being willingly ignorant.
b- Partial obedience is disobedience.
II- AM I ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED TO THE UNIQUENESS AND EXCLUSIVITY OF CHRIST?
().
35 So they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for him to ride on.
36 As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him.
37 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.
38 “Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!” 39 But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!” 40 He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”
A- Do I express joy about all Jesus has done for me on the everyday road of life?
