Palm Sunday - Pastor Bronson Duke - a podcast by NLC Downtown Little Rock

Jesus is the ultimate king who follows through on his promises and is worthy of sacrifice and praise.  When we are distracted from that we can lose purpose and end up staying places way too long that we were never supposed to live, only pass through. The message of the Bible – and the focus of Palm Sunday – is that God wants to be our King. And when he is king, everything will be brought to the way it should be. 

The king said to them, “Take Solomon and my officials down to Gihon Spring. Solomon is to ride on my own mule. There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him king over Israel. Blow the ram’s horn and shout, ‘Long live King Solomon!’ Then escort him back here, and he will sit on my throne. He will succeed me as king, for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.”
1 Kings 1:33-35 (NLT)

"New creation itself has begun, they are saying, and will be completed. Jesus is ruling over that new creation and making it happen through the witness of his church. 'The ruler of this world' has been overthrown; the powers of the world have been led behind Jesus’s triumphal procession as a beaten, bedraggled rabble. And that is how God is becoming king on earth as in heaven. That is the truth the gospels are eager to tell us."
