What do we know about the resurrection

To resurrect – is to bring back to life

And Jesus was brought back to life

but it was not about coming back to life and being rescued out of the tomb

it was about coming back to life and being delivered out of hell

When Jesus took on our sins, he became a candidate for hell

And when Jesus died ,

He went to hell before his body came down from the cross

But his dying on the cross with our sin had a purpose

Hebrews 2:14 (nlt)

14 because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.

As we celebrate and look at the events of Palm Sunday,

We can ask ourselves this question

What choice did the people make as the shouted hosanna?

Did they really choose Jesus…… or did they just want something to change?

John 12:12-13 (kjv)

12 on the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13 took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, hosanna: blessed is the king of Israel that cometh in the name of the lord.

Hosanna is a word that means save now

One week before Jesus went to the cross, crowds of people were crying out to Jesus

Hosanna – save us now

Unknowingly, they were calling for Jesus to do what he was born to do

Matthew 1:21

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Jesus was born to save his people

But not from what they wanted to be saved from

So it is important to see that, we can be saying something that sounds like it is agreeing with the word of god

but still be far away from its intended meaning

Salvation, when we receive it, does not save us from everything

For the Christian ….. After salvation ………..

The goal is Holiness ……through Sanctification ,

Not the Elimination of all problems
