DECLARATION
For
[we are not] ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and
also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Sabbath Meditations
"TZAV" (Command )
Lev 6: 1-8:36; Eze 36: 16-36; 1 Cor 15:1-58
So he is to lift up from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with some of its oil and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and burn it up as smoke on the altar for a soothing aroma, as its memorial portion to ADONAI. Then what is left from it Aaron and his sons are to eat it. It is to be eaten as matzah in a holy place , in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. {Lev 6:8-9 TLV}
PASSOVER BEGINS
Sunday Message
"JESUS PREDICTS HIS DEATH"
Mark 8:31-33
And [Jesus] began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things,and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. { Mar 8:31 NKJV}
OPENING PRAYER
Almighty God, Creator of all things, how humbling it is to know with certainty that the exact number of beats of our hearts, and lifetime number of breaths that we take over the entirety of our sojourn on this earth, are directly ordained by Your mighty will. Every beat, every breath. Hear our prayer of thanksgiving for gathering us together in fellowship and worship on this Holy Day. We are Yours, Lord Jesus, now and forever, Amen and AMEN.
MESSAGE
Jesus shares with His Father the fullness of deity. Whether a blessing or a curse, our Lord, in the flesh, has full knowledge of the beginning from the end, that is to say, Jesus is acutely aware what lies in store over the next seven days including that which follows.
Over the past three years, Jesus has taught and equipped His chosen, opening their eyes, showing by example that which the Father has ordained. The lessons include a very difficult realization that in order to live, one must die. A hard concept, indeed!
In three of the synoptic Gospels of Christ, The Lord tells His flock the reality of what will soon take place; In {Mat 16:21-23 NKJV} ...Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and raised on the third day. In Mark 8:31 we read an almost exact duplicate of the warning, the prediction, of what was to come.
In the Gospel according to Luke; Following a number of significant healings and on the heels the Transfiguration on the Mount, the disciples were in awe at the majesty of God. But while everyone marveled at all the things that Jesus did, He said to His disciples, "Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men." {Luk 9:44-45 NKJV} The full understanding of the words of Jesus were absent, perhaps veiled by GOD in this moment of time.
Just as the seed falls from the tree in the death of the season, so that same seed when so embraced by the earth, will sprout and grow and in due time be raised up as a mighty tree; limbs raised upward toward the heavens. One day, when the Lord so wills, we too will die once only to be raised to eternal life in the presence of He who made us.
SUMMARYPalm Sunday. The first day of the week. As we fellowship here and now in the year 2025, let us embrace that today is the first full day of Passover. In the time of Jesus the events in which we now participate would for Jesus shift in chronology by almost exactly 7 days from AD 33 to today's 2025. Today is Palm Sunday, next week for us is dark and painful as we witness the passion of the Christ, His death on the cross, and burial in a tomb. What makes today's SUNDAY stand out is remembering the formal public entry of Jesus into Jerusalem arriving as Messiah, as the SON OF THE LIVING GOD.
{In our bibles we go to John 12:12-19};
The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, {The people} took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: "Hosanna! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!' The King of Israel!"
Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: "Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey's colt."
His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.
Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!"
Jesus rides on a donkey. The symbology represents life sustaining peace and absence of war. Had Jesus rode in on a horse, as the majority of Jews expected, His arrival would signal war and death and destruction! As a result, They missed the King's arrival. To this day the Jew has not fully recovered from this error...but they will. Spend some time in Ezekiel, Chapter 37. Read about the "Dry Bones Miracle"
Jesus, our Lord, has always led by example. O' The elegance of His being, the power of His majesty and the righteousness of His Word; He became the propitiation for us, trading His life and shedding His blood to save all those who have confessed His name. No longer are we under the penalty of eternal death. Through our Savior, we will reign with Him forever. Though we die once, we now are born again, living forever.
CLOSING PRAYER
O' Father God, although we sojourn through dangerous times where Christians are killed because of their beliefs, and the clouds of violence and war hoovers over the planet, the resurrection of our Lord shines as a brilliant star of hope and a reflection of the promise made to witness the coming of the New Jerusalem, when Your will so allows. Thank-You Father for the sacrifice of Your only begotten Son, JESUS THE CHRIST, AMEN
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heaven-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
