“Tell the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.” Matthew 21:5 and Zechariah 9:9.
Jesus offended many of the religious people of that day. Jesus would offend many church goers today. Why do I say that? The works which Jesus did up until that time church goers would believe, but they would say that all of this died with the apostles’. Interesting that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
When Jesus came on earth, He didn’t come as God, but as a man. This is the BIGGEST misconception today. If Jesus came as God then you cannot be saved. Then price that was paid for sin was done by God and no a man. Take a look at what is written, Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, (those who are born again are in the form of God) did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Father was about to give GREATEST gift ever. Giving His Only Son to pay the price to what Adam did. To get His people back into the Kingdom of God. Don’t you ever wonder why Jesus said to pray, Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. We are praying that what is being done in Heaven, to be done here on earth. This is why it is written, For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you. Jesus dying on the cross, opens the door for us to fellowship with the Father. Sin separates you from Father. The price is now paid, but you have to believe that this is possible. If you don’t, who’s voice are you listening too.
