The King Arrives

Matthew 21:1-11

By Pastor Stewart McCarter, March 21, 2024

(Matthew 21:1-11)

Jesus is the conquering King hidden in plain sight

  1. JESUS ARRIVES IN VICTORIOUS HUMILTY

    1. The verse in Zechariah 9:9 says “victorious” as well as “humility”. Jesus can come in humility because He is already victorious.
    2. Zechariah 9:10 details Jesus rule as well
    3. In Revelation Jesus will return on a horse. The people just had it backwards. The Kingdom would be Spiritual in nature and that comes first, then He will make it physical on this earth. Revelations 19:11-16
  2. JESUS ARRIVES IN VERIFYING HUMANITY

    1. Jesus not only is showing He is conquering the spiritual authorities in rebellion against Him and His kingdom, He is also paying the price to restore humanity to all it was intended to be.
    2. Man sinned in the garden and fulfilled our rebellion at the Tower of Babel when all mankind turned to other God’s. Now Jesus pays the price to bring us back to the one true God.
  3. JESUS ARRIVES VINDICATING HISTORY

  1. Someone has said the prophecy is just history written in advance. Jesus comes fulfilling the scriptures of the predictions of the Messiah in the OT.
  2. From conception to second coming Jesus fulfills all prophecy about The Anointed One, the Messiah

Conclusion:

  1. Bow humbly and follow Jesus in his complete humiliation to serve and save humanity.
  2. Acknowledged Jesus as Conquering King and receive his payment for your sin.
  3. Tell someone about the salvation offered in Jesus.
