| 0:27 | The holy Gospel According to |
| 0:30 | Saint Mark chapter 11 verses 1 through |
| 0:32 | 10 |
| 0:34 | as they approached Jerusalem and came to |
| 0:36 | bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of |
| 0:39 | Olives Jesus sent two of his disciples |
| 0:40 | saying to them go to the Village ahead |
| 0:42 | of you and just as you enter it you will |
| 0:45 | find a cult tied there which no one has |
| 0:47 | ever ridden untie it bring it here if |
| 0:50 | anyone asks you why are you doing this |
| 0:53 | tell him the Lord needs it and will send |
| 0:56 | it back here shortly |
| 0:58 | they went and found a cult outside in |
| 1:00 | the street tied at a doorway as they |
| 1:03 | untied it some people standing there |
| 1:04 | asked what are you doing untying that |
| 1:07 | cult they answered as Jesus had told |
| 1:09 | them to and the people let them go |
| 1:11 | when they brought the cult to Jesus and |
| 1:14 | threw their cloaks over it he sat on it |
| 1:16 | many people spread their cloaks on the |
| 1:18 | road while others spread branches that |
| 1:19 | they had cut in the fields those who |
| 1:22 | went ahead and those who followed |
| 1:23 | shouted Hosanna blessed is he who comes |
| 1:27 | in the name of the Lord blessed is the |
| 1:29 | coming Kingdom of Our Father David |
| 1:31 | hosanna in the highest |
| 1:35 | in the name of Jesus |
| 1:38 | Hosanna blessed is he who comes in the |
| 1:41 | name of the Lord blessed is the coming |
| 1:43 | Kingdom of Our Father David |
| 1:46 | hosanna in the highest this is our text |
| 1:50 | Hosanna it’s from a Hebrew word and it |
| 1:54 | means let’s listen to this it means |
| 1:56 | literally say save now or help now or it |
| 2:00 | could also mean save we pray thee it’s a |
| 2:04 | petition to God |
| 2:06 | save us now blessed is he who comes in |
| 2:10 | the name of the Lord this is Jesus’s |
| 2:11 | triumphal entry into Jerusalem so last |
| 2:16 | Sunday that was the final Sunday of the |
| 2:18 | church here and like the end of the |
| 2:20 | world itself it ends with Jesus a return |
| 2:22 | in glory to judge the living and the |
| 2:24 | dead now the operative words in that |
| 2:26 | sentence were in glory and that is |
| 2:30 | describing Jesus’s second Advent but now |
| 2:33 | it’s the season of Advent it’s a brand |
| 2:35 | new church here by the way Happy New |
| 2:37 | Year to everybody happy New Year yeah |
| 2:39 | it’s brand new church here yeah we have |
| 2:41 | to do things like that just to keep the |
| 2:43 | people on your toes so we’ll be talking |
| 2:45 | to you all afterwards find out what your |
| 2:46 | New Year’s resolutions are |
| 2:48 | not like those work anyway okay so |
| 2:51 | Advent |
| 2:52 | and by the way it comes from the Latin |
| 2:54 | word adventus and it means coming and so |
| 2:57 | during this season it’s brand new church |
| 2:59 | here we’re not looking at Jesus’s second |
| 3:01 | Advent but preparing anticipating and |
| 3:04 | meditating on Jesus’s first Advent and |
| 3:07 | Jesus’s first Advent was not in glory |
| 3:09 | and our text which is the same text we |
| 3:13 | hear on Palm Sunday reminds us that |
| 3:15 | Jesus came to us humble and lowly he was |
| 3:19 | not writing a war horse this is kind of |
| 3:22 | an important fact in fact Martin Luther |
| 3:24 | preaching on this text said this this |
| 3:27 | gospel encourages and demands faith for |
| 3:30 | it prefigures Christ coming with Grace |
| 3:34 | whom none may receive or accept save he |
| 3:37 | who believes in him to be the man and |
| 3:40 | has the mind as this gospel portrays in |
| 3:43 | Christ nothing but the mercy tenderness |
| 3:45 | and kindness of Christ are shown here |
| 3:48 | and he who so receives and believes in |
| 3:51 | Jesus in this way saved he sits not upon |
| 3:55 | a proud Steed or an animal of War nor |
| 3:58 | does he come in great Pomp and power |
| 4:00 | instead he’s sitting on a donkey an |
| 4:03 | animal of Peace fit only for burdens and |
| 4:06 | labor |
| 4:07 | and a help to man |
| 4:09 | he indicates by this that he comes not |
| 4:11 | to frighten man or to drive and crush |
| 4:13 | him but to help him and to carry his |
| 4:15 | burdens for him and although it was the |
| 4:17 | custom of the country to ride on donkeys |
| 4:20 | and to use horses for War as the |
| 4:22 | scriptures often tell us yet here the |
| 4:24 | object is to show that the entrance of |
| 4:26 | the king shall be meek and lowly there |
| 4:30 | is no armor present no war cry only |
| 4:34 | songs and praise rejoicing in |
| 4:36 | Thanksgiving to the Lord now sin |
| 4:38 | naturally makes a timid conscience which |
| 4:41 | fears God and flees from him as Adam did |
| 4:43 | in paradise and cannot endure the coming |
| 4:45 | of God the knowing and the feeling that |
| 4:48 | God is an enemy of sin and severely |
| 4:50 | punishes it hence it flees and is afraid |
| 4:54 | but in order that such delusion and |
| 4:56 | timidity may not pursue us he gives us |
| 4:59 | the comforting promise that this King |
| 5:01 | comes meekly as if he would say Do not |
| 5:06 | flee do not despair for he to does not |
| 5:09 | come as now he came to Adam or to Cain |
| 5:12 | or at the flood or at Babel or at Sodom |
| 5:14 | and Gomorrah nor as he came to the |
| 5:16 | people of Israel on Mount Sinai |
| 5:19 | no he comes not in Wrath he does not |
| 5:22 | wish to reckon with you and demand his |
| 5:25 | debt all wrath is laid aside nothing but |
| 5:28 | tenderness and kindness remain |
| 5:31 | he will now deal with you so that your |
| 5:33 | heart will have pleasure love and |
| 5:36 | confidence in him |
| 5:37 | what a beautiful way of thinking about |
| 5:39 | this Jesus riding on a donkey |
| 5:42 | showing that he’s come meekly not to |
| 5:46 | deal with us harshly but to carry our |
| 5:47 | burdens and to forgive us our sins |
| 5:50 | well now what’s interesting here as I |
| 5:54 | Was preparing for the sermon |
| 5:56 | one of the things I always find |
| 5:57 | fascinating is how the Old Testament |
| 5:59 | pre-figures typologically Jesus and his |
| 6:03 | life in different aspects and types and |
| 6:05 | shadows and a real quick question here |
| 6:09 | just Old Testament history who was the |
| 6:12 | son of David who became king after David |
| 6:17 | Solomon Solomon and it’s absolutely |
| 6:20 | fascinating that the son of David when |
| 6:24 | he becomes king in the Old Testament |
| 6:26 | when you read the story it sounds a lot |
| 6:30 | the details prefigure what we heard in |
| 6:32 | Our Gospel text this morning when Jesus |
| 6:34 | the son of David comes into Jerusalem in |
| 6:38 | order to be king so let’s take a look at |
| 6:40 | First Kings chapter one |
| 6:43 | I want to show this to you because it’s |
| 6:45 | just that good |
| 6:47 | First Kings chapter one now I’ll be |
| 6:49 | reading from the English Standard |
| 6:50 | Version Pew bibles are NIV so I |
| 6:53 | apologize for the mix mix match but I |
| 6:56 | thought it was important to use the ESV |
| 6:58 | here if you have a Bible that you can |
| 7:00 | turn on you can turn it on too so here’s |
| 7:03 | what it says First Kings chapter one |
| 7:05 | verse one when King David was old and |
| 7:08 | well advanced in years he could not keep |
| 7:10 | warm when they put covers over him so |
| 7:13 | his servant said to him let us look for |
| 7:14 | a young virgin to attend the king and |
| 7:16 | take care of him she can lie beside him |
| 7:18 | so that our Lord the king may keep warm |
| 7:20 | apparently they didn’t have space |
| 7:21 | heaters back then so they used women for |
| 7:23 | these tasks |
| 7:25 | a little odd way of using a woman but |
| 7:28 | okay |
| 7:29 | so then they searched throughout Israel |
| 7:31 | for a beautiful girl and found abishag a |
| 7:33 | shunamite and brought her to the king |
| 7:34 | the girl was very beautiful she took |
| 7:36 | care of the king and waited on him but |
| 7:38 | the king had no intimate relations with |
| 7:40 | her now adonijah whose mother was |
| 7:43 | haggath put himself forward and said I |
| 7:46 | will be king |
| 7:48 | really you can just put yourself forward |
| 7:50 | and say I’m going to be king now it’s |
| 7:52 | interesting to note here that he’s the |
| 7:54 | brother of Absalom Absalom tried this |
| 7:56 | and it didn’t go well for him in fact he |
| 7:59 | ended up |
| 8:00 | inciting a coup d’etat against David |
| 8:02 | David had to go into exile for a little |
| 8:04 | bit and it resulted in absalom’s death |
| 8:06 | so it’s rather fascinating now notice |
| 8:08 | here that adonijah acts the way the |
| 8:11 | world would expect somebody who wants to |
| 8:13 | be king to behave right here’s what it |
| 8:15 | says I will be king so he got chariots |
| 8:18 | and horses ready with 50 men to run |
| 8:21 | ahead of him |
| 8:23 | his father had never interfered with him |
| 8:25 | by asking why do you behave as you do he |
| 8:28 | was also very handsome and was born next |
| 8:30 | after after Absalom adonijah conferred |
| 8:33 | with joab the son of Zariah and with |
| 8:35 | abayathar the priest and they gave him |
| 8:37 | their support but zadok the priest |
| 8:40 | benaniah the son of jehoiada Nathan the |
| 8:42 | prophet in shimay and Rey and David’s |
| 8:44 | special guard did not join adonaija real |
| 8:47 | quick historical note you’ve heard of |
| 8:49 | the sad juices right that’s kind of a |
| 8:52 | English way of saying this in Hebrew |
| 8:54 | that the zarakim they’re the they’re |
| 8:57 | basically a Priestly group and they |
| 9:00 | trace their lineage back to zadok the |
| 9:02 | zadakim zadak who’s mentioned here same |
| 9:04 | guy so this is zadok of sadducee Fame |
| 9:08 | just historical note |
| 9:10 | adonijah |
| 9:12 | sacrifice sheep cattle fattened calves |
| 9:16 | at the stone of zohalath near n rogel |
| 9:18 | notice that this usurper |
| 9:21 | this guy who’s putting himself forward |
| 9:23 | as king with war horses chariots and 50 |
| 9:25 | men in front of him he now cloaks his |
| 9:29 | ambition with religion sacrifices to the |
| 9:33 | Lord oh how Pious this man is this is a |
| 9:36 | false religion and this is a man who |
| 9:38 | he’s not humble |
| 9:40 | instead he is quite arrogant following |
| 9:43 | in the same sin as his brother did but |
| 9:46 | he just was shrewd enough to wait until |
| 9:48 | dad’s about ready to crump so he |
| 9:50 | sacrificed sheep cattle fat and calves |
| 9:53 | at the stone of zoileth near and rogal |
| 9:55 | he invited all his brothers the king’s |
| 9:56 | sons and all the men of Judah who were |
| 9:58 | Royal officials but he did not invite |
| 10:01 | Nathan the prophet or benaniah or the |
| 10:04 | special guard or his brother Solomon |
| 10:08 | I wonder why |
| 10:11 | so then Nathan asked Bathsheba Solomon’s |
| 10:14 | mother have you not heard that adonijah |
| 10:16 | the son of hagath has become king |
| 10:18 | without our Lord David’s knowing now |
| 10:20 | then let me advise you how you can save |
| 10:23 | your own life in the life of your son |
| 10:25 | Solomon yeah that’s not a that’s not an |
| 10:27 | overstatement |
| 10:29 | common practice back in the day is that |
| 10:32 | when somebody becomes king no matter how |
| 10:34 | they get there first thing you do is you |
| 10:36 | kill any Rivals and their family make |
| 10:39 | sure there’s nobody to rise up against |
| 10:40 | you |
| 10:42 | so Solomon and Bathsheba are in danger |
| 10:45 | of losing their lives go to the King |
| 10:47 | David say to him my Lord the king did |
| 10:49 | you not swear to me your servant surely |
| 10:52 | Solomon your son shall be king after me |
| 10:55 | and he will sit on my Throne why then |
| 10:57 | has adonijah become king while you are |
| 11:00 | still there talking to the king I will |
| 11:02 | come in and confirm what you have said |
| 11:05 | so a little bit of intrigue here |
| 11:06 | Bathsheba went in to see the Aged King |
| 11:09 | in his room when at where Abhishek the |
| 11:11 | shunamite was attending him Bathsheba |
| 11:13 | bowed low and knelt before the king what |
| 11:16 | is it you want the king asked |
| 11:18 | she said to him my Lord you yourself |
| 11:21 | swore to me your servant by the Lord |
| 11:23 | your God Solomon your son shall be king |
| 11:26 | after me and he will sit on my throne |
| 11:28 | but now adonijah has become king and you |
| 11:31 | my lord the king do not know about it he |
| 11:34 | has sacrificed great numbers of cattle |
| 11:36 | fat and calves and sheep and has invited |
| 11:38 | all the king’s Sons abyfar the priest |
| 11:41 | and joab the commander of the army but |
| 11:43 | he has not invited Solomon in your |
| 11:45 | servant my lord The King The Eyes of all |
| 11:48 | of Israel are on you to learn from you |
| 11:49 | who will sit on the throne of my Lord |
| 11:51 | the King after him |
| 11:53 | now that sentence is pregnant with |
| 11:56 | prophetic significance |
| 11:59 | let me read it again the eyes of all of |
| 12:01 | Israel are on you to learn from you who |
| 12:04 | will sit on the throne of my Lord the |
| 12:06 | King after him who will sit on the |
| 12:08 | throne of David |
| 12:10 | who will |
| 12:13 | well Solomon not forever but one of |
| 12:16 | David’s sons has promised to sit on the |
| 12:18 | throne of David forever |
| 12:20 | we continue otherwise as soon as my Lord |
| 12:22 | the king is laid to rest with his |
| 12:23 | fathers that I and my son Solomon will |
| 12:25 | be treated as criminals while he was |
| 12:27 | still speaking to the with the King |
| 12:29 | while she was still speaking with the |
| 12:31 | King Nathan the prophet arrived and they |
| 12:33 | told the king Nathan the prophet is here |
| 12:35 | so he went before the king and bowed |
| 12:37 | with his face to the ground Nathan said |
| 12:39 | you have my Lord the king declared that |
| 12:42 | adonisjah shall be king after you and |
| 12:44 | that he will sit on your throne question |
| 12:47 | mark today he’s gone down and sacrificed |
| 12:50 | great numbers of cattle fat and calves |
| 12:52 | and sheep he’s invited all the king’s |
| 12:54 | sons and commanders of the Army and |
| 12:55 | abayathar the priest rightly now right |
| 12:58 | now they are eating and drinking with |
| 13:00 | him and saying Long Live King adanijah |
| 13:02 | but me your servant and zadok the priest |
| 13:05 | and benoniah the son of jehoiada and |
| 13:07 | your servant Solomon he did not invite |
| 13:09 | is this something my Lord the King has |
| 13:12 | done with out letting his servants know |
| 13:14 | who should sit on the throne of my Lord |
| 13:16 | the King after him |
| 13:18 | and then David said |
| 13:20 | call in Bathsheba so she came into the |
| 13:23 | king’s presence and stood before him |
| 13:25 | then the king took an oath as surely as |
| 13:28 | Yahweh Lives who has delivered me out of |
| 13:30 | every trouble I will surely carry out |
| 13:32 | today what I swore to you by the Lord |
| 13:33 | the god of Israel Solomon your son shall |
| 13:37 | be king after me and he will sit on my |
| 13:40 | throne in my place |
| 13:42 | real quick question what does Solomon |
| 13:45 | mean |
| 13:46 | the word the name |
| 13:49 | uh well in Hebrew it’s pronounced |
| 13:53 | does that help |
| 13:55 | peace that’s right |
| 13:56 | that’s right we get it’s very close to |
| 13:59 | the word Shalom Solomon means peace this |
| 14:02 | is significant in this story as well it |
| 14:05 | prophetically typologically points us to |
| 14:07 | Jesus who is the prince of peace right |
| 14:13 | all right King David said Colin zadak |
| 14:15 | the priest Nathan the prophet Ben and I |
| 14:17 | of the son of jehoiad death and when |
| 14:19 | they and when they came before the king |
| 14:21 | he said to them take your Lord’s |
| 14:22 | servants with you and set Solomon my son |
| 14:24 | on my own |
| 14:26 | mule |
| 14:27 | and take him down to gihon |
| 14:30 | interesting Solomon doesn’t write on a |
| 14:33 | war horse either |
| 14:35 | David puts him on a mule |
| 14:37 | this is very unusual extremely unusual |
| 14:42 | notice how abyathar acted war horses |
| 14:44 | chariots 50 men |
| 14:46 | not Solomon |
| 14:48 | he’s put on a mule |
| 14:50 | and take him down to gihon there have |
| 14:52 | zadok the priest Nathan the prophet |
| 14:54 | anoint him King over Israel blow the |
| 14:56 | trumpet and Shout Long Live King Solomon |
| 15:00 | then you are to go up with him and he is |
| 15:02 | to come and sit on my throne and reign |
| 15:04 | in my place I have appointed him ruler |
| 15:06 | over Israel and Judah Ben and I the son |
| 15:08 | of jehoiada asked the king answered the |
| 15:11 | king amen may the Lord the god of my |
| 15:13 | Lord the king so declare it as the Lord |
| 15:16 | was with my Lord the king so may he be |
| 15:18 | with Solomon to make his throne even |
| 15:20 | greater than the Throne of my Lord King |
| 15:23 | David so zadok the priest Nathan the |
| 15:25 | prophet benaniah the son of jehoiada the |
| 15:27 | karathites the palothites went down and |
| 15:30 | put Solomon |
| 15:32 | on King David’s mule and escorted him to |
| 15:35 | gihon zadak the priest took the Horn of |
| 15:38 | oil from the sacred tent and anointed |
| 15:40 | Solomon then they sounded the trumpet |
| 15:42 | and all the people shouted Long Live |
| 15:44 | King Solomon and all the people went up |
| 15:46 | after him playing flutes and rejoicing |
| 15:48 | greatly so that the ground shook with |
| 15:50 | the sound adonijah and all the guests |
| 15:53 | who were with him heard it as they were |
| 15:55 | finishing their feast and on hearing the |
| 15:57 | sound of the trumpet joab asked what’s |
| 15:59 | the meaning of all that noise in the |
| 16:01 | city even as he was speaking Jonathan |
| 16:04 | the son Jonathan son of abyathar the |
| 16:06 | priest arrived |
| 16:08 | adonijah said come in a worthy man like |
| 16:10 | you must be bringing good news not at |
| 16:13 | all Jonathan answered our Lord King |
| 16:15 | David has made Solomon King The King has |
| 16:18 | sent with him zadok the priest Nathan |
| 16:20 | the prophet benaniah the son of jehoiada |
| 16:23 | the karathites and the palothites and |
| 16:25 | they put him in the king’s mule and |
| 16:27 | zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet |
| 16:29 | had anointed him King at gihon from |
| 16:32 | there they have gone up cheering and the |
| 16:35 | city resounds with it that’s the noise |
| 16:37 | you hear moreover Solomon has taken his |
| 16:40 | seat on the Royal Throne also the Royal |
| 16:42 | officials have come to congratulate our |
| 16:45 | Lord King David saying may your God make |
| 16:47 | Solomon’s name more famous than yours |
| 16:49 | and his throne greater than yours and |
| 16:51 | the King bowed and worshiped on his bed |
| 16:53 | and said praise be to the Lord the god |
| 16:56 | of Israel who has allowed my eyes to see |
| 16:58 | a successor on my Throne today at this |
| 17:01 | all of the adanijah’s guests rose up in |
| 17:04 | alarm |
| 17:06 | and dispersed |
| 17:08 | pregnant prophetically |
| 17:11 | to be sure |
| 17:13 | so fast forward several hundred years |
| 17:16 | there’s Jesus riding into Jerusalem |
| 17:20 | and the shouting Hosanna |
| 17:22 | right |
| 17:24 | well like adonijah and his guests |
| 17:27 | Satan on the day that Jesus rode into |
| 17:29 | Jerusalem Satan Rose an alarm |
| 17:33 | and he ended up dispersing the true king |
| 17:36 | the seed of the woman promised all the |
| 17:38 | way back in the Garden of Eden the one |
| 17:39 | who would crush the head of the serpent |
| 17:41 | and set Satan’s captives free he had |
| 17:44 | finally arrived |
| 17:46 | blessed is the coming Kingdom of Our |
| 17:49 | Father David Jesus |
| 17:51 | Son of God Son of David King of Kings |
| 17:54 | has arrived and he didn’t come to set up |
| 17:57 | an Earthly Kingdom not in this cursed |
| 18:00 | creation and this is what Jesus says |
| 18:02 | when he’s on trial before Pilots let’s |
| 18:05 | talk about this Kingdom Business on in |
| 18:07 | John chapter 18 starting in verse 33 it |
| 18:10 | says this pilate entered his |
| 18:11 | headquarters and again called Jesus and |
| 18:13 | said to him are you the king of the Jews |
| 18:16 | good question Jesus answered do you say |
| 18:19 | this of your own accord or did others |
| 18:21 | say it to you about me pilate answered |
| 18:24 | am I a Jew your own nation and the chief |
| 18:28 | priest they’ve delivered you over to me |
| 18:29 | what have you done Jesus answered get |
| 18:32 | this my kingdom is not of this world if |
| 18:36 | my kingdom were of this world my |
| 18:38 | servants would have been fighting then I |
| 18:40 | might not be delivered over to the Jews |
| 18:42 | but my kingdom is not from the world so |
| 18:46 | the pilate said to him so you are a King |
| 18:48 | Jesus answered you say that I am a king |
| 18:51 | for this purpose I was born and for this |
| 18:53 | purpose I have come to the world to Bear |
| 18:54 | witness to the truth and everyone who is |
| 18:57 | of the truth listens to my voice |
| 19:00 | so Jesus did not come to set up an |
| 19:02 | Earthly Kingdom and this is important |
| 19:04 | because over and again many errors that |
| 19:07 | crop up in Christianity try to pull the |
| 19:10 | future Kingdom into the present and |
| 19:12 | oftentimes it goes something like this |
| 19:14 | at least in our context somebody will |
| 19:16 | say well you are a Christian that means |
| 19:20 | you are a son or a daughter of the king |
| 19:24 | you are a prince or a princess therefore |
| 19:27 | you have all the rights as a prince or |
| 19:29 | princess in the kingdom and you can |
| 19:31 | decree and declare for yourself health |
| 19:35 | prosperity |
| 19:38 | to all of which we say |
| 19:40 | Jesus kingdom is not of this world |
| 19:43 | in this world Jesus calls his citizens |
| 19:46 | his subjects to take up their cross deny |
| 19:49 | themselves and follow him |
| 19:52 | that’s the kingdom that we’re called to |
| 19:54 | Augustine writing about this fact says |
| 19:57 | for Christ was not the king of Israel so |
| 19:59 | that he might exact attacks or equip an |
| 20:02 | army with Weaponry or visibly Vanquish |
| 20:05 | an enemy he was the king of Israel in |
| 20:07 | that he rules Minds in that he gives |
| 20:09 | counsel for eternity in that he leads |
| 20:11 | into the Kingdom of Heaven for those who |
| 20:14 | believe hope and love and trust in him |
| 20:16 | Luther in the large catechism and |
| 20:19 | talking about Christ’s Kingdom says this |
| 20:21 | when we pray thy kingdom come thy will |
| 20:23 | be done he says here we ask that his |
| 20:25 | kingdom Jesus Kingdom May Come Just As |
| 20:28 | God’s name is Holy in and of itself yet |
| 20:30 | we pray that it may be holy Among Us so |
| 20:32 | also we pray that his kingdom comes it |
| 20:35 | comes of itself without our prayer and |
| 20:37 | yet we pray that it may come to us that |
| 20:39 | is that we ask that it may prevail Among |
| 20:41 | Us and with us so that we may be part of |
| 20:44 | those among whom his name is hallowed in |
| 20:46 | his kingdom flourishes so what then is |
| 20:49 | the kingdom of God well the answer is |
| 20:51 | simple simply what we learned in the |
| 20:53 | Creed namely that God has sent his son |
| 20:54 | on Christ Our Lord into the world to |
| 20:57 | redeem and to Deliver Us from the power |
| 20:59 | of the devil and to bring us to himself |
| 21:01 | and to rule us as a king of |
| 21:03 | righteousness life and salvation against |
| 21:06 | sin death and an evil conscience to this |
| 21:09 | end he also gave His Holy Spirit to |
| 21:12 | teach us through his holy word and to |
| 21:14 | Enlighten and strengthen Us in faith by |
| 21:16 | his power |
| 21:17 | the kingdom of God is the kingdom of the |
| 21:19 | Forgiveness of sins Here and Now |
| 21:22 | not in glory but in meekness in humility |
| 21:27 | Jesus himself in Mark chapter 1 after |
| 21:30 | John the Baptist was arrested says this |
| 21:33 | says that Jesus went into Galilee |
| 21:34 | proclaiming the good news of God and he |
| 21:36 | said the time has come |
| 21:38 | the kingdom of God is near |
| 21:41 | repent and believe the gospel |
| 21:46 | the kingdom comes through repentance and |
| 21:49 | the Forgiveness of Sins Not in glory |
| 21:52 | but on your knees begging for mercy and |
| 21:54 | forgiveness |
| 21:57 | therefore he who is under King Jesus |
| 22:01 | cannot be harmed they cannot be harmed |
| 22:04 | by either sin death hell Satan man or |
| 22:09 | any other creature |
| 22:10 | and so we along with the crowd we add |
| 22:13 | our voices to the crowd and we say |
| 22:15 | hosanna |
| 22:17 | save us now we pray you Hosanna |
| 22:20 | blessed is he who comes in the name of |
| 22:22 | the Lord blessed is the coming Kingdom |
| 22:25 | of Our Father David |
| 22:27 | Hosanna save us we pray in the highest |
| 22:31 | see your king comes to you |
| 22:33 | gentle and riding on a donkey a cult the |
| 22:37 | foal of a donkey he has heard your |
| 22:40 | hosannas and he is mighty to save and he |
| 22:44 | as our epistle text says he will keep |
| 22:46 | you strong to the end so that you will |
| 22:48 | be blameless on the day of our Lord |
| 22:50 | Jesus Christ |
| 22:52 | our King keeps you |
| 22:54 | blameless keeps me blameless |
| 22:58 | for we are clothed in his Royal robes |
| 23:01 | sinless righteousness imputed To Us by |
| 23:03 | faith |
| 23:04 | so he will keep you strong he will keep |
| 23:07 | you blameless until the day of our Lord |
| 23:09 | Jesus Christ and God who has called you |
| 23:12 | into fellowship with his son Jesus |
| 23:13 | Christ he is faithful and he will |
| 23:16 | accomplish what he has promised in the |
| 23:18 | name of Jesus Amen |
