The life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ beckons all humanity to believe in Him, embracing Him by faith alone.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ, confirmed by credible witnesses, inaugurated His kingdom and beckons

all of us to worship the King of kings.

The ironic reversal of Christ, that the Son of God is rejected by His Father and killed by sinners in order to save His people, is lost on unbelief but embraced as precious by all who believe.

The hour has come. Everything is prepared. And the eternal plan of God – to redeem His

people through the death of the spotless Lamb – is set in motion.

Christ’s return and judgment of the world is the next event on the Redemptive calendar and, since it will come like a

thief in the night, we must be ready at all times.

By exposing the failures of unbelief, Jesus demonstrates that He is Israel’s Messiah, and that

faith in Him is the only path to whole-hearted devotion to God devoid of hypocrisy.

In judgment God denies his kingdom to fruitless pretenders, but gives it instead to His fruitful Son who cultivates believers to bear the fruit of righteousness, worship, obedience & witness.

 

The King of Kings enters Jerusalem not with a show of royal glory, but with lowliness – because the path He takes to save His people and enter into His dominion is the path of suffering.

True faith follows Jesus Christ to the cross and is clearly marked by unrivaled devotion to His person and unabated sacrifice for His people.    

Christ bids us to a faith that keeps self lowly through faithfully engaging both sacrifice & suffering in order not to stumble but to enter the kingdom.
