Holy Week

Holy Week began, of course, Sunday as we celebrated the Triumphant Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.

Sunday I spoke on Jesus: The Coronated Messiah. I know "coronated" is not a word, but it fit with the message titles before and to come. Jesus was:

1. Proclaimed King by the crowd.
2. Anointed King by Mary. Judas thought it wasteful. Jesus said it was a beautiful thing.
3. Prophesied as King by Caiaphas.
4. Declared King of the Jews by Pilate.
5. Crowned King by the soldiers.
6. Embraced as King by the believing thief who was also being crucified.

Jesus taught marvelous truths while on the move from one location to another. The disciples "saw" the dried up fig tree after Jesus talked to it. Jesus talked to trees, and mountains. Do you suppose He would have been tagged as a "hyper-faith" type of guy?

Zacchaeus: A seeker, a tree climber, a receiver, a restorer, and a transformed man.

It is true - the world is going after Jesus! (Jn. 12:19) Hallelujah!
