Message Notes:
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’” 4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, 5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” — Mark 11v1-9 (ESV)
The Bible - God is good, we are bad, we need God’s help to be formed into His image.
The Culture - We are good, some things with God are bad, we need to help God be formed into our image.
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. — 1 John 2v15-17 (ESV)
Repentance - A change of mind that results in a change of action (usually a reversal of one’s decision)
3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. — Romans 2v3-5 (ESV)
Three ways to look at repentance:
Legalism - “just stop sinning”
Liberalism - “avoid it God loves you”
The gospel - deep change as a response to Jesus
Be perfect (telios - complete, mature, whole) therefore as your Heavenly Father is perfect. — Matthew 5v48 (ESV)
Repentance isn’t about perfection… but a desire to be perfected.
Lessons from a donkey.
1. The colt was in a certain place
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden — Mark 11v1-2 (ESV)
1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. — Psalm 40v1-2 (NLT)
2. The colt needed to be loosed
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, 5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. — Mark 11v4-6 (ESV)
Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. — 1 Peter 2v16 (ESV)
Revelation 2v19-22 (ESV)
3. The colt is brought to Jesus
When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. — Mark 11v7 (ESV)
We want to assure you… that if you seek Him you will find Him. Jesus cases out none that come unto Him. — Charles Spurgeon
4. The colt carries Jesus into the town
Mark 11v15-17 (ESV)
Zechariah 9v9 (NLT)
