The Servant and His Triumph | Mark 11:1-19 | Paul Conner
from City Baptist Church Vancouver · host City Baptist Church
Jesus, the sovereign King, rides into Jerusalem—not on a warhorse, but on a humble colt, a King of peace rather than conquest. The crowd cries, "Hosanna," but their lips soon betray their hearts, for worship without surrender is empty noise. The fig tree stands lush with leaves but bears no fruit, a vivid picture of religious pretense that lacks true spiritual life. And in the temple, Jesus overturns tables, confronting a worship that had become commerce, a faith hijacked by greed. The lesson is clear: Jesus does not seek outward appearances but hearts truly surrendered to Him—hearts that bear fruit, worship in spirit and truth, and embrace His refining hand rather than resist it.Scripture: Mark 11:1-19
