BEHOLD YOUR KING!

Humility; Is Our King’s Leadership Style
Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and humble, riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Isaiah 57:15 This is what the High and Lofty One says– He Who lives forever, Whose name is Holy: “I live in a High and Holy place! But also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Isaiah 66:2b This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at MY WORD.
Luke 22:24-27 …the disciples disputed as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over people and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest and the one who rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves!
Your Possessions; Can Help The Lord Accomplish His Plans
Matthew 21:1-3 Approaching Jerusalem they came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me. If anyone says something to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
Our Willingness Can Fulfill Prophecy
Matthew 21:4-5 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: “Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'”
A Small Task Leads To Large Results!
Matthew 21:6-8 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
If You Want To See What The Lord Can Do Follow Him!
Luke 19:37-38 When He came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen saying: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Our Praise Has An Effect!
Matthew 21:9-11 The multitudes going before Him and those who followed after, were crying out, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the Highest!” When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this? The multitudes were saying, “This is the Prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.”
His Visitation Is Today!
Luke 19:41-44 When He approached the city He wept over it, saying, “If you had known IN THIS DAY, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank before you and surround you and hem you in on every side and will level you to the ground and your children within you and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
God’s Salvation Cannot Be Bought!
Matthew 21:12-13 Jesus entered the temple and cast out all those who were buying and selling in the temple and overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those who were selling doves. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a robbers’ den!”
Those Who Come To Him Receive Their Sight

The Cynics Ye Shall Always Have…
Matthew 21:15-16a When the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying out in the temple saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!,” they became indignant and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?”
Babies And Toddlers Will Praise Him Along With All Of Creation! (If You Don’t!)

Psalm 145:1-20 I will proclaim Your greatness, my God and King; I will thank You forever and ever. Every day I will thank you; I will praise You forever and ever. The LORD is great and is to be highly praised; His greatness is beyond understanding.

-The LORD is faithful to His promises; He is merciful in all His acts. He helps those who are in trouble; He lifts those who have fallen. All living things look hopefully to You, and You give them food when they need it. You give them enough and satisfy the needs of all.
-The LORD is righteous in all He does, merciful in all His acts. He is near to those who call to Him, who call to Him with sincerity. He supplies the needs of those who honor Him; He hears their cries and saves them. He protects everyone who loves Him, but He will destroy the wicked.
