Behold, Your King! (41 of 75)
Series: The Gospel of John
Mike Stone
John 12:9-19
This section of John 12 brings us up to a day we call ''Palm Sunday'' and an event we call ''The Triumphal Entry.'' It's the Sunday before Passover in the Spring of 29. The Lord Jesus Christ makes a celebrated entrance into Jerusalem amidst waving palm branches and shouts of ''Hosanna.'' Within a few days the desire for a coronation will be changed into the demand for a crucifixion.
Within 7 days from this text, Christ will be betrayed, beaten, crucified, and buried...both bearing and becoming the sins of the world. Within 7 days, the earth will shake, the sun will be temporarily darkened, and the veil in the temple will be torn in 2.
Within 7 days of this passage, women will head to the tomb of Jesus to anoint His body...only to encounter an empty grave, a broken seal, a rolled stone, and an angelic messenger asking, ''Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here for He is risen!
As surely as Jesus' royalty was on display that first Resurrection Sunday it was equally on display that First Palm Sunday as well. For any who would look beyond the trappings of a political parade and rightly gaze upon the Lord Jesus, you will BEHOLD YOUR KING.
In 1882, Mark Twain's, The Prince and the Pauper, was published. In the classic novel two young boys look strikingly alike. Tom Canty is a peasant. Edward Tudor is royalty and heir to the throne. The young boys meet by happenstance, exchange clothes, and rather unintentionally embark on a series of misadventures, each boy wrongfully assumed to be the other.
Prince Edward learns what life is like as a pauper. Young Tom Canty learns that being a prince isn't all it's cracked up to be. In the climax of the great story, Coronation Day arrives and the PAUPER is about to be mistakenly crowned as the king.
Meanwhile, the rightful king has made his way to the front of the crowd. Dressed in the rags of common peasant, Edw ...
