Sunday's Sermon: "Jesus, both Humble King and Perfect Citizen" Text: Luke 19:28-40; Jeremiah 33:14-16; 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13; Psalm 25:1-10
“To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame, let not my enemies exult over me. Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame.”
The first Sunday of Advent is of hope. In this psalm, we have a clear expression of what “hope” means: To lift up your soul to God, to trust in Him, to wait on Him and His delivering actions. This is a psalm of great hope in God. That is, unless you are wantonly treacherous. For those who work against the Lord and break His laws, all that they may await is shame and undoing. For those, like you and me, who are not whole heartedly a servant of the living God, the most we can “hope” for is the off chance that the king might be nice to us, but there’s no promise of that. At most, we can desire His love, or wish for it, because you and I, are at best, like the disciples in our text today. That’s not so bad, right? They are crying out “hosannas” and declarations of God’s peace, but they praise Christ for His works. They still don’t yet get who He is and what His mission is; they praise Him because of what He has done, and not necessarily because of who He is—true God and true man, here to win for their sorry selves’ salvation. And yet their praise is delightful because they will get it, soon enough. (Continue) |
