O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love

endures forever!

Let Israel say, "His steadfast love endures

forever."

Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter

through them and give thanks to the LORD.

This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it.

I thank you that you have answered me and have become

my salvation.

The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief

cornerstone.This is the Lord's doing; it is

marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad

in it.

Save us, we beseech you, O LORD! O LORD, we beseech you,

give us success!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD.

We bless you from the house of the LORD.

The LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the

festal procession with branches, up to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my

God, I will extol you.

O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love

endures forever.

Messianic Mania

• “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”

–Expectations were high

–Finally God would act to deliver Israel from the hands of its oppressors

Messianic Mania

• Soon the tune changed

–Jesus presented himself as the coming King/Messiah

• But he didn’t meet their expectations

–Why wasn’t he doing anything to get rid of Rome?

Messianic Mania

“Humanity is fickle. They may dress for a morning coronation and never feel the need to change clothes to attend an execution in the afternoon. So Triumphal Sundays and Good Fridays always fit comfortably into the same April week.”

Calvin Miller, The Singer

Wasteful Worship

• “Why was the ointment wasted like that?”

–Couldn’t the money have been put to better use?

Wasteful Worship

• Jesus rebukes their failure to understand

–This was an appropriate act of worship

• It is right to give one’s best to God

Wasteful Worship

• Jesus rebukes their failure to understand–She was preparing him for burial•He would bring about restoration

through his death and resurrection•He was not merely a social reformer

*

The Peril of Pride

• Peter thought it impossible that he would fail Jesus– “They might fail you, but surely I will not”

(v26)

– “Even if I must die, I will not deny you” (v31)

The Peril of Pride

• Yet Peter failed terribly

–Why?• Perhaps it was due to his failure to

understand what Jesus was really doing (cf. Mark 8:27-33)

The Peril of Pride

• Yet Peter failed terribly –So what?• If he can fail, so can we• But his failure was not final

*

The Trap of Tradition

• The religious leaders failed to recognize the Messiah because he did not fit their expectations

–Mere tradition can blind one to the truth

The Trap of Tradition

• The religious leaders failed to recognize the Messiah because he did not fit their expectations

–The defense of mere tradition can take ugly forms

A Common Failure

• All were looking for a Messiah who would conform to their agenda and desires

–Jesus did not ‘measure up’

–Jesus disappointed them

–Jesus was a failure in their eyes

• So they cast him aside

“Humanity is fickle. They may dress for a morning coronation and never feel the need to change clothes to attend an execution in the afternoon. So Triumphal Sundays and Good Fridays always fit comfortably into the same April week.”
