Finished: A Journey to the Resurrection — Week 3

Stepping into the triumphal entry of John 12, this message places the listener inside a Passover crowd of perhaps two million and asks where each person stands. The Roman soldiers mock a king on a donkey; half-sincere seekers come for the show and the miracles, not the Master. The religious leaders chase prestige and power, warned against by Ezekiel 34 and Isaiah—shepherds who feed themselves. The teaching turns this on every kind of stewardship, including the pastor's own motives. The group to aspire to are the Greeks who said simply, we just want to see Jesus . Their cry of Hosanna—Lord, save us—welcomes the Passover Lamb whose blood, over the doorframe of the heart, saves.
