Coming up next on changing your world.
Because of sin, there was enmity which between man and god.
And they’re needed somehow to be a reconciling of that.
And so Jesus says, that this just didn’t happen for free, somebody’s got to pay for this to happen.
If we’re going to have the removal of god’s wrath, A perpetuation’s got to take place, he says, I will be that payment.
A simply a sacrifice that removes wrath, but it is a sacrifice that removes wrath and then turns the wrap into favor.

This is your world. It’s all a I’ll make it a better place.
Let every heart that means no.
You uh, uh,
this morning, I wanna talk to you about and I call this the triumphal entry.
The triumphal entry Palm Sandeep is a significant day in the Christian calendar as it marks the beginning of holy week leading up to Easter Sunday.
It is a day when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.
And the people waved Palm branches and laid them on the ground, shouting hosanna to the son of David.
Again, you read this in Matthew 21 in verse 9.
It says, blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord. Hozanna in the highest.
So as we reflect on this event, we remember the significance of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem.
It was a fulfillment of prophecy, as it was foretold in Zechariah chapter 99.
In fact, let’s look there.
Cause it’s important every time you hear that something was prophesied in the old testament, then you see it prophesied or come to pass in the new testament, that’s big deal.
And verse 9 says, rejoice old people of Zion. Shout in triumph. Old people of Jerusalem. Look.
Your king is coming to you He is righteous. Watch this, and he is victorious.
He says, yet, he is humble riding on a donkey. Riding on a donkey’s cult.
So the prophecy was fulfilled as Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, which, by the way, was a symbol of peace and humility rather than showing up on a horse which would be the symbol of war and conquest.
So this was a clear message that Jesus’ mission was not to conquer by force, but to bring peace and salvation to all who would believe in him.
And so the people who welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem recognized him as the messiah and as the son of David who had come to save them.
They waived palm branches, which were a symbol of victory and try off, waving those palm branches.
And they laid him on the ground as a sign of submission and honor.
So this was a public declaration of their faith in Jesus as the king who had come to rescue them from oppression of the Roman Empire.
Uh. So they thought this Jesus who was raised in the dead And this Jesus who was doing miracles, man, they were celebrating him, but they thought he is now coming to Jerusalem, to deliver us from the oppression of the Roman Empire.
They thought he was coming at the politician However, the people’s enthusiasm soon turned to disappointment and even hostility when the Jews did not meet when excuse me, when Jesus didn’t meet the expectation of of a political ruler, who would overthrow the Roman Empire.
Instead, Jesus came to offer spiritual salvation an eternal life, which was a message that many in that day found to be very difficult to to accept.
Now how does this tie into?
The reality of this covenant of grace that we live under, the Christ the king.
You see, the Palm branch represented, like I said, goodness and victory, And it was a symbol of the final victory that he would soon come to fulfill Victory over death.
The Bible says in 1st Corinthians 15 verse 55, Oh, death wears your sting.
Oh, oh, grave wears your victory. Let me read it. It’s one of them.
Well, he says, oh, death wears your your victory. Oh, oh, death where is your sting.
He’s gonna have victory over death.
Now as I’m looking at this in in in in verse 55, I’m thinking I’m thinking about somebody here today that might ask And what does that have to do with me?
We see it. We celebrate Christmas. We celebrate Easter.
We celebrate palm, Sunday, but what does that have to do with me?
How is it that the death of Jesus Christ benefits me when I order.
And that’s what I wanna spend my time with today.
I wanna talk about the things that Christ accomplished by his death. What was accomplished by his death?
He’s walking and entering into Jerusalem, And the very next week, he’s gonna be operating in resurrection power.
He’s coming in the in the place to die.
And he’s gonna set him free and ways that they would never be able to imagine.
How many of y’all you can live in the midst of darkness and have light going on in your life.
And there are some crazy things going on in the world, but you gotta remember what Jesus has done for you so that in the midst of all of the stuff that has been prophesized to happen and we can’t cast our prophecy, that we are not going to be troubled.
In fact, the Bible says, see to it that you be not troubled. These things must come to pass.
And I pray today that you will begin to rejoice as you recognize that through the death of Jesus, There were things that he did for us.
He died for you. He died for me, and it was not just talking about he died, we need to now answer that question.
So what is it that the death of Jesus accomplish for my behalf.
Number 1, Jesus’s death removed our sin and our guilt.
This is called in Bible School Expiciation.
Expiciation is just simply the removal of sin and guilt.
So he didn’t come just to remove sin he came to remove the guilt associated with sin, the shame associated with sin, and the condemnation associated with sin.
Now people religiously with a religious ear, they’ve heard this. Well, what do we celebrate?
What are we celebrating? You know, Jesus came and he died for me. What it meant?
He died for my sins. But what does that mean?
I get so irritated when I hear stuff talked about religiously, and there’s no in-depth relational understanding of what he really did.
So he died to remove our sin and our guilt.
Let’s go to John and all this in NLT. Go to John chapter 1 in 29.
Let’s decide this, uh, uh, decipher these scriptures here.
John 129 says, the next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him. And here’s what John said.
He said, look, the lamb of god who takes away the sin of the world through death He’s taking he’s dealing with the sin of the whole world.
So what Jesus did he did for every human being that would ever be born on the earth, that if you believe it and accept it and sign for the package, then you walk in the benefit of your deliverance of sin, guilt, shame, and condemnation.
And that’s our job as Christians right now. We ought to have a soul winning mentality.
Instead of a judgmental mentality, a soul winning mentality, Well, we can go in.
And when somebody’s not saved, your antennas go up, man, uh, you’re you’re ready to go at it, man.
Somehow, some way, I’m gonna say something. I’m gonna sow some seeds.
I’m gonna water it, but I’m gonna say something. God’s gonna give the increase.
I can’t make them get saved, but I can show plants some stuff.
Somebody says, well, what am I gonna plan? We’ll look at your own life.
A lot of stuff we go through when you go through it and come out, that’s good testimony to sow into somebody else’s life.
That’s a good way to go to somebody and say, I have seen this movie that you’re starring in, and I know exactly how it ends.
Listen to me. And so he, he, he came as a lamb of god to take away the sin of the whole world through death.
Look at Isaiah 536. Isaiah, 536.
I pray that if you’re not born again today, this is your day.
That somehow, the Holy Spirit sent you here, because he’s trying to get something to happen in your life that’s gonna make the difference in your whole life.
Isaiah53, and verse 6 says, All of us like sheet have strayed away.
We have left god’s path to follow our own. We’ve left god’s path to follow our own.
Yet the lord laid on him, the lord laid on him the sins of all of us, So my sins, your sins, and the sins of the whole world have been laid on Jesus Christ.
Think of that. He took all of our sins. All of our sins were laid on Jesus Christ.
My goodness. Who does that? Who does that? The greatest friend you have in the world.
I don’t know if he’d do this. He took all of our sins.
And laid it on Jesus. Now watch this Hebrews chapter 9 verse 25 through 26.
The sins of the world laid on his body, laid on his body, he who had never sinned hanging on a cross, looked like the snake, looked like sin, but it had never sinned.
He looked that way because he took all of our sins, all of our sins upon itself. Yeah.
And he did this versus, uh, 2526.
And he did not enter heaven to offer himself again and again, like the high priest here on the earth who enter into the most holy place year after year with the blood of an animal.
If that had been necessary, Christ would have had to die again and again ever since the world began.
But now, once, for all time, he has peer he has appeared at the end of the age to remove sin by his own death as a sacrifice.
My god. This ain’t never gonna get boring to me.
If you’re religious, it gets boring to you. Hey, man. Oh, I know that.
Whether I cannot fathom in my mind, how one man could show up and say, Hey, dad.
I’ll take everybody’s sin upon myself. I was born to die. Wow. Jesus did that.
So one of the things we see that through his death, he removed our sin, our guilt, dealt with our condemnation, dealt with our shame, and he’s waiting for you to accept it.
He’s waiting for you to sign for the package It’s one thing that he did it.
It’s another thing that you believe it and accept it.
And my question today is, will you receive Jesus Will you accept what he did?
Will you accept this loving kindness to take the sin of the whole world to sign the package and to say your freedom is at hand, but your signature is required.
Here’s the second thing that was accomplished through his death.
Propitiation, whereas, explitiation is the removal of our sins, Propitiation is the removal of god’s wrath.
Propitiation means compensation or payment or peace offering, compensation or payment or peace offering.
Jesus became the compensation. He became the payment.
He became the peace offering that was necessary for the wrath of god to be removed.
Because of sin, there was enmity between man and god, and there needed somehow to be a reconciling of that.
And so Jesus says that this just didn’t happen for free. Somebody’s got to pay for this to happen.
If we’re going to have the removal of god’s wrath, a perpetuation’s got to take place, he says I will be that payment.
A perpetuation is not simply a sacrifice that removes RAV, but it is a sacrifice that removes RAV and then turns the wrath into favor.
Jesus became a compensation to remove the wrath between god and man and then took the wrap that god had, uh, gets man and turned it into favor.
And so that so that his love, now his love can now realize its purpose in doing good to us every day in all things forever without sacrificing his justice and without sacrificing his holiness Jesus paid the price.
And so now, god says no restrictions on my love. No more enemy between me and man.
I will do him good and make him happy. Loan Emerson.
The third thing that was accomplished by his death, reconciliation So there was a removal of wrath.
The removal of sin Reconciliation involves the removal of our alienation from god.
We were alienated from god. Romans chapter. Well, hold on a minute.
I I I rushed through perpetuation. Let’s back up there a little bit. That was too big, man.
Look at Romans 3, 25, and 26. The NLT.
Like, you you you need some scripture on that so you can go and meditate. Did that really happen?
Yeah. 2526. For god presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin, people are made right with god when they believe that Jesus sacrifice his life.
How many of you believe that Jesus sacrifice his life for you?
He said shedding his blood, this sacrifice shows that god was being fair when he held when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past.
For he was looking ahead.
The reason why he didn’t punish all of all of the ones he could have punished in time past, because he was looking ahead.
And including them in what he would do in this present time.
God did this to demonstrate his righteous for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
When they believe in Jesus.
And then in Hebrews chapter 2 17, Hebrews chapter 2 in verse 17.
He says, therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us.
It was necessary for Jesus to be made in every respect, like us, his brothers and his sisters. Why?
So that he could be our merciful and faithful high priest before god.
He had to be made like us so he can show some mercy.
Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people.
Knowing us, knowing how man was, he could be be he could become that sacrifice to take away those sins.
And then in 1st John 4 and 10, First John 4 and 10. Oh, Jesus.
Just reading the word, getting me stirred up this morning. He said, this is real love.
Not that we loved god, but that he loved us. And watch what he did.
And then he sent his son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
This is real love, not that we love god.
See, in the church, it’s always about how much you love god.
You’re always talking about how much you love god.
And and, I guess, I believe you, but I know for a fact that you can’t love god, until you, first of all, believe the love that he has for you.
Oh, I love god. Don’t you love god? No.
The question is do you believe that god loves you? Yes. Yeah. Okay. He says, here’s love, though.
But that he loved us, and look what he did.
He sent his son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. That’s that love.
Hey, man. Think about this, ladies and gentlemen.
I I am I I’m I’m going I’m going line by line. I’m showing you scripture by scripture.
You know the world’s come to an end, especially when you see bible prophecy come in the past, China and Russia, When you see the Bible talks about the ways moving and being beat, weather, when you see all the things that are striking up and and taking place in the Middle East right now.
Honey, there’s war going on that they hadn’t had time to put on ABC.
In fact, stuff going on everywhere.
And if you can’t if you don’t listen, Jesus is he’s coming back just like he said he would.
Well, I don’t believe it. That’s fine.
Sit that, Bubba, when he comes, you’re gonna be you’re gonna have a biggest surprise in your you know, when Jesus was coming on palm on that palm, uh, Sunday, when he was coming through, nobody knew that was gonna be the last week.
Wonder what wonder what will the disciples have done had they known this is our last week with him like this.
Our last week with him like this. Wanna and see, I’m I’m asking you the same thing.
Well, how do you know that this this might not this might be your last week.
Now it’s it’s not because the Bible says no man knows the day of the hour.
So don’t make me a profit because no man knows the day of the hour.
I can’t tell you this is your last week. Well, maybe you can. No. I can’t.
What the lord told me last night that he coming on the 7th. He ain’t coming on 7th.
You had some you have some collagreens or something before you went to bed, that ain’t happening.
He’s coming back, dude. He’s coming back.
And there are people that hear that, the earth is just so filled with unbelief This society and this generation, they don’t believe nothing.
And then when it’s too late, and then when it happens, Oh, oh.
Come on. Receive the love of god. Receive what he wants to do for you.
Receive what he’s done for you. Receive him. Now, it’s time to believe, praise god.
Now, it’s time for you to just shut off all of the other opinions that you are hearing and just look at this word and pay attention to your heart, pay attention to the conviction in your heart, there’s something about your heart that knows what it knows.
Praise god. There’s something about your heart that knows when something is right.
There’s something about your heart that knows when something is wrong, and I’m telling you that just by nature, something on the inside knows that something’s happening, something’s coming.
What unifies the body of Christ? It’s our identity.
Our identity is found in Christ, and you will learn about the benefits of this in the 4 part series, the triumphal entry taught by creflo dollar.
Jesus’s death removed our sin and our guilt.
Jesus became a compensation to remove the wrath between god and man and turned it into favor.
Jesus paid the price. And so now, god said no restrictions on my love.
No more intimate between me and man. I will do him good and make him happy.
