THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY OF JESUS

THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY OF JESUS

 in Christian churches celebrate Easter or thereabouts and begins with the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, also called Palm Sunday, and this happened almost 2000 years ago. But what we now want is you celebrate Jesus .. his triumphal entry into your heart or life John 12: 12-16 The next day the large crowd who had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took branches of palms and went out to meet him, crying: Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, the King of Israel.14 Jesus found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: 15 Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your king comes, riding a donkey's colt. 16 His disciples did not understand this at first, but later, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that this had been written of him and that they had done these things.

1. Historical context: In the Gospels (Matthew 21: 1-11, Mark 11: 1-11, Luke 19: 28-44, John 12: 12-16) relate this episode (The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem) occurred days before the crucifixion of Jesus, called the Christ This was prophesied 520 years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Zechariah 9: 9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation [a], humble, riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. The Jews until today expect another Messiah because they wanted Jesus to serve the remainder spoken by the prophet (Zac.9 10 destroy the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem,). Not knowing that this will happen at his second coming. The most important thing for Jesus at that time was to die for all human beings and fulfill it also said by another prophet, Isaiah (Isaias.53: 4-7). Surely our grief’s [a], and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted 5 But He was wounded [b] for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities. The chastening for our peace [c] fell upon Him,

And that was really the purpose of His first coming.

2. After the triumphal entry: Two very interesting things Jesus does after it is received by the crowd in Jerusalem. a) Mourn for the same Jerusalem (Lk. 19: 37-44). b) Visit the temple and drove the selling (Luke 19: 45-48). It was a day of joy, but Jesus suffered from the real situation of Jerusalem, not by the state of its streets and buildings, which in truth were very beautiful and large (Mark 13: 1-2, Lk.21: 5-6 ). The cry for the state of the hearts of its inhabitants that they wanted to meet their physical needs and political aspirations. Today Jesus also must be crying when you look toward the earth and see what people deeply desire is the same: wars and satisfaction of their physical and social needs at all costs.

3. Jesus wants to enter your life triumphing in Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he with me. The Lord wants to enter your life to give you the happiness you've never had, neither drugs nor alcohol, or sex, or money you can give. Not even a political change in our country. It is a non-ephemeral eternal happiness, although problems come into your life you can overcome with the help of him and celebrate wins after wins (John 10: 9,14,16).

 Conclusion: today celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into our hearts and be happy today and for eternity (Luke 18: 29-30). Let Jesus into your life really. It is not a religion or tradition you need. It is Christ himself whom you need to be saved, to be considered a child of God and have eternal happiness. (John 1: 12-13). "Jesus is crucified on Good Friday and buried that night, so that true faith in God can be created at Easter through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

El Poder del Resucitado

Power of the Risen

The Power of the Risen

Last week we began to talk about the power of the resurrection of Jesus in us. We understood that Jesus identifies with our suffering through the sacrifice of the cross and that we have to identify with Him in the victory of the resurrection. To preach the crucified Christ is only half the story, but we must preach the risen Christ to learn to identify with him in his victory.

 

IT ALL STARTS WITH AN EARTHQUAKE

Matthew 28: 1-7 "1Pasado the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcro.2Y there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it.3Su appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as nieve.4Y for fear of him the guards shook and became like dead .5Mas the angel answered and said unto the women, fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucificado.6No is here, he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he was laid Señor.7E go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead, and behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there you will see. Behold, I have told you. "

 

It says here that there was a great earthquake, but usually in traditional church when predicated of tremors and earthquakes is talk that comes judgment to the church, has a great view on the church on earth, the funny thing is that when I read the Bible, most of the time when he speaks of tremors and earthquakes, has to do with the presence of God in the lives to give them victory.

Exodus 18:18 "18Todo Mount Sinai smoked, because Jehovah descended upon it in fire; and smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. "

 

We understand that in life there are stones, which are the difficult circumstances that keep you behind them as dead, a broken marriage, a physical illness, a shortage economy, etc., that perhaps have sealed with the seal of failure, criticism, shame, fear or conformity, but understood that God put upon you a greater seal than the sum of all seals that the devil wants to put on you, God will put the seal of the risen, it is only a matter of time so you wake up, and I say that God will remove the stone, remove the seals and you will be lifted (a) of that place, do not worry about the how, God will.

 

Today I want to elaborate on the topic of your resurrection, talking to you as the power of the resurrection it is in you, so today's topic is entitled: The power of the risen. God's presence shakes up the mountains. Look at Peter saying:

Acts 4: 29-31 "29And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant unto thy servants that with all boldness they may speak your word, 30while stretch out your hand to heal and signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy child Jesus .31when had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke with boldness the word of God. "

 

When the Holy Spirit comes your life trembles. Look Paul:

Acts 16: 25-26 "25 But at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God; and the prisoners oían.26then suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened. "

 

It is inevitable when God gets into your life, your life begins to shake, but not for judgment, is to get up, is to come out of that prison, is to come out of the tomb, in this death, is because he will remove the stone that has been holding you back.
