tini gts m vsunisthobi i lesson lesson march 25 golden texlblessed is he that coineth in the name of the lord hosanna in the highest matl219 the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson the socalled triumphant entry of our lord into jerusalem- at the beginning of last week of his earthly ministry which was to culminate in his death and burial to be followed by a glorious resurrection was in partial ful- fillment of psalm 118 where he is presented as the rejected stone eventually to be made the head of the corner but first accepted by a i few who cry hosannasavej now and blessed be he that cometh in the name of the lord psa 118 25 2g but instead of the kingdom being then set up tne next thing is his crucifixion when he is bound as it were like the sacrificial animals to the horns of the altar psa 11827 doubtless those who welcomed him into jerusalem as he rode upon the ass down the slopes of olivet and into the holy city thought the hour of his triumph had come and believed that he was about to assert his royal authority and begin his benificent reign over israel and the subjected nations making jerusalem the capital of a regenerated world- all this shall indeed be in gods appointed time but he had other work to accomp lish first so the entrance into the city amid the plaudits of the popu lace was but preliminary to his death upon a roman cross wnerc he was to make propitiation rather than reconciliation for the sins of the people heb 217 rv for him there could be no king- dom without the cross that the welcome he received was sincere we need not question his own words in answer to the criticism of the chief priests and scribes make that clear matt 21 16 but those who thus rejoiced in his coming to them little realized true state of affairs nor did they understand the predictions of the prophets how christ must first be rejected and suffer many things before he could enter into his glory luke 242527 verse by verse matt 216 the disciples went and did as jesus commanded them- we need to read verses 1 to 5 in order to get the full connection long years before zechariah had prophesied that the king of israel would come riding into his capital uponthe colt of an ass in order that this might be fulfilled literally jesus gave two of his diciples in struction as to whore this beast would be procured and in obed ience to his word they obtained it with the consent of the o wners who gladly put it at the masters disposal verse 7 they set him-there- on the unbroken ass was subject to his will the disciples spread some of their own garments upon it as a saddle and seated the lord jesus christ upon them it is signi ficant that this humble creature was more subject to him its creator than men whom he had come to 1 save verse s a very great multi tude spread their garments in the way it was a truly oriental set ting part of the throng carpeted the road before him with their robes and others cut down palm branches and strewed them on the path he was to take thus acclaim ing himas their rightful king verse 9 hosanna to the son of david this and the wordb following as we have already not ed were quotations from the psalm of triumph the 118th in which his loyal subjects acclaim their king great davids greater son the complete fulfillment of the psalm awaits his second ad vent as he himself predicted later on matt 2339 verse 10 all the city was moved saying who is this the singing and rejoicing were heard throughout all jerusalem and the populace stirred with wonder in quired as to who it was whose entrance to their city had caused such an ovation it was a repetition of what took place centuries be fore when solomon was welcomed as king 1 kings 13840 he of whom solomon was but a type was now among them yet many knew him not verse 11 this is jesus the prophet of nazareth of galilee with fervent- faith the rejoicing multitude declared jesus to be a prophet they were doubtless for the most part galileans them selves who had become convinced that he was all that he claimed to be verse 12 jesus went into the temple of god to him that temple was his fathers house it was the center of all jewish wor ship and service but it had become defiled and polluted and was turn ed into a place of merchandise un der the guise of assisting the many pilgrims who came from all parts of the world to keep the annual feasts or set time of jehovah see lev 23 verse 13 my house shalt be called the house of prayer this was the divine purpose as declared by isaiah the prophet isa 5g7 in the coming day of the kingdom when jerusalem becomes in truth the worship center of the world a new temple will arise to which all nations shall resort the one which then stood on mt moriah had be come a den of thieves dlshonor- joiks womens army

privileges any move than the king himself did when he served in the royal navy ing to god and a stumbling block to men verse 14 the blind and the lame came to him in the temple he who was the lord of the temple was there to manifest his delivering power those who were suffering from various physical infirmities sought him out and he healed them in his grace and com passion verse 15 the chief priests and scribes were sore displeased these proud haughty legalists were scandalized by the very good ness and lovingkindness of jesus the plaudits of the grateful popu lace were as gall and bitterness to them when they heard the people crying hosanna to the son of david they had no thought of joining in this glad recognition of him whose works of power bore witness to the divinity and author ity of his message john 530 but they were indignant that such hon or should be paid him verse lfi hoarest thou what these say they blamed jesus for permitting the people to address him as the son of david which was equivalent to acknowledging him as then messiah and so called on him to rebuke the multitude but jesus refused to heed their angry criticisms and referred them to a passage in the psalms which exactlyfitted the case out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected- praise psa 82 in their honesty and simplicity the common people whom the self- righteous leaders despised proved they had been taught of god and so honored jesus christ as the sent one of the father who had come into the world to be the redeemer of israel the heart of the lesson every move that- the lord jesus christ made as he went through this world was in exact accord with the prophetic word and there fore to the fathers will as he entered jerusalem he knew thai not the kingdom but the cross was to be his portion in the immediate future but nothing turned hirn aside from his path of perfect sub mission to the one who had sent him he adorned every position that he took his matchless per fections were manifested in every thing he did he accepted the draise of the children and of the older ones who hailed him as davids soft with the same grace that enabled him to endure the cold biting criticism of his enemies to him the one para mount object of his life was to glorify the father auction sale of milcii herd of s0 keg and highgrade llolstcini also milking machine the
