How to Get God on You
Steve N. Wagers
Matthew 21:1-11
1. Be Redeemed for the Master's Purpose
A) He was Sought by Jesus
B) He was Brought to Jesus
2. Be Ruled by the Master's Presence
A) Specifically Desired
B) Submissively Devoted
3. Be Responsive to the Master's Plan
A) What He was Used to Accomplish
B) Who He was Used to Acclaim

Moses stuttered;
Gideon was afraid;
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer;
Rahab was a prostitute;
Jeremiah was too young;
David was a murderous adulterer;
Elijah was suicidal;
Isaiah preached naked;
Jonah was a runaway;
Naomi was a widow;
Job filed bankruptcy;
Peter denied Christ;
The disciples fell asleep praying;
Martha was a worry-wart;
The Samaritan woman made Elizabeth Taylor look like a Girl Scout
Zacchaeus was too small;
Paul was too religious;
Timothy had an ulcer;
Lazarus was dead.
The scene of our text is a familiar one. The events mark the beginning of Palm Week as Jesus makes His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. However, while I certainly have no desire to take the spotlight off of the Lord Jesus, there is one character in the sto ...
