Sermon Notes

Sermon Series: Because of Jesus

Sermon Title: Because He Came

Passage: Luke 19:28-42

Preacher: Robin Philip

Jesus Came to Save :

• Because He Came as True Peace  (v28–36)

  • Jesus reveals something about His identity—His holiness.

  • Jesus reveals His kingship through humility.

  • Jesus reveals His sovereign authority.

  • When Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a colt, He is not merely saying, “I come to bring peace.”

    • But by the way He comes—holy, humble, and as the Messiah

    • He is declaring something even greater: “I am your peace.”

    • Ephesians 2:14-17

• Because He Came as Promised King  (v37-40)

• This is the moment that Palm Sunday brings, Jesus brings you in a moment of confrontation not just for the disciples, not only for the Pharisees, not only for the crowd—but for us.

  • Either you hail him as King, or you dismiss Him as King.

  • Either He is on the throne or you are on the throne.

  • Either He is worthy of your life, or He is nothing more than a man riding into a city on a colt.
    

• Because He Came with a Weeping Heart (v41–42)

• Jesus sees what they cannot: He sees their rejection. He sees the coming judgment. He sees the consequences of missing the very Messiah they had long awaited.

• Jesus does not respond with anger—He responds with grief. Because this is the heart of God. (Ezekiel 18:23)

• The King rides in, knowing full well that the same crowd that cries, “Blessed is the King,” will soon cry, “Crucify Him.

  • ” The King knows all of this…

  • And still…He rides forward (to the cross)
    
    

Reflection

1. Are you seeing Jesus as your peace, or are you chasing moments of peace?

2. Is your life evident of Jesus’ kingship?

3. Is Jesus your Peace? Is Jesus your King? Is Jesus your Savior?

4. Does your life, the way that you are living, clearly and loudly answer these questions?
