Listen Later

Good morning. Good morning Church. Thank you for coming. Welcome. It’s good to be if you on easter morning, if you knew this isn’t a corporate event that you’re crashing, This isn’t a wedding uh, reception that you’re crashing, crashing. This is the gathered, uh, body of Solar Church Church and so friends, family, visitors. Welcome. We’re glad you’re here with us. As we look to the bible, look to the Lord in prayer as we reflect on what happened this morning in christian history, I’m gonna try to do my best to define terms and avoids specialized jargon. Uh, first question you all have in your mind is why is my pastor wearing a jacket? Well, it’s easy. The camera adds £15 and a jacket takes off 20. So that’s the obvious reason if you didn’t know that. So, but let’s uh, let’s pray, let’s look to the Lord as we work through this topic here. Lord, thank you for today. I thank you for what you’re doing in all of our lives. We we need you got to bring clarity. We need you to bring conviction Lord, We need you to give us courage. Lord to be the men and women have called us to be I said you to instruct us and make us hungry for your word. I pray that you would encourage us in your word, impressed deep into our souls any lesson that you want to teach us out of the word of God this morning, we commit this time to you in jesus’ name. Amen. Okay, so what is going on in Christianity? Why are all of your friends who are usually quiet on social media, posting and sharing easter memes and easter stuff? So I like to just give you a little update on holy week and what that is. And so we me and Jordan have pulled together a slide here that we’d like to work through some photos talking through the historical timeline of holy week leading up to this morning, resurrection sunday easter morning and so last sunday across the world, most of Christianity celebrated palm sunday, it’s when jesus coming in and trample entry into the capital city of Jerusalem, the people are throwing down palm branches and they were throwing down coats to honor the coming messiah. His popularity was at an all time high. Everything he said, everything he did went viral. People loved him. It was a highlight reel of jesus. He just got done healing, a dramatic healing of a three day dead Lazarus who was dead in the tomb for three days, he healed him and brought him out of out of the grave, jesus celebrity, he’s at the peak of his popularity and then monday comes on monday, you see jesus is just his savage, he goes rogue, he’s flipping tables, making whips, driving out the money exchangers are taking advantage of people. And during the largest building on the largest jewish holiday of the year and he completely empties the building physically clears out the biggest building on the busiest day and he calls out the religious leaders, his enemies. It’s a huge, it’s an epic day. The city is on pins and needles, This young rabbi who’s been tearing it up all around the surrounding country and the surrounding cities have finally come to the largest city in the jewish population and scholars shared an analogy which I’m gonna, there’s uh, if you ever like grab the beehive and shook in the beehive, I haven’t either. The closest I did as a boy was my mom had these garden and she’d have miracles around the garden to keep stuff away and I would go along and I grab a B and I’d shake it in my hand and throw it down. I’d run away my sisters and I would run away until I got stung by a bee in the hand and then I stopped doing that, Jesus took the religious elite leaders of the capital city of Jerusalem on monday he violently shook them to their core, every one of them is mad at him, All of Jesus’ rivals, all of his enemies. They’ve all consolidated forces, they have one objective and that’s to tak…
