TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - APRIL 13, 2022
Wednesday, April 13, 2022 at 9:07AM The Anticipated Celebration
Today is April 13, 2022
Welcome to your mid-Passion week!
What God's people were doing on Palm Sunday was basically an act of faith, anticipating the victory to come. They worshiped and celebrated believing Jesus would save them.
Now, their expectation was that Jesus would physically save them. And, so, when he did not, you can see how these same people who welcomed him as a king, screamed that he be crucified on Friday morning.
However, while their expectation was wrong, their initial reaction to Jesus' coming was not.
Jesus does save us spiritually. As evident by the resurrection, Jesus conquers death. Meaning the other victory to come - the victory over Satan - will occur one day. In fact, we see the celebration in Revelation 7:9-10, with countless people worshipping God and celebrating; waving palm branches in their hands just like the people of God did when they celebrated Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem.
If Jesus conquered the grave, so that victory over sin and Satan will also come one day.
In the meantime we need to act just as the people of God did on Palm Sunday. We need to continue to act in faith, anticipating that victory to come.
God's blessing upon you as you mediate on the victory we have in Christ and the coming celebration, and I look forward to worshipping with you in the Main Sanctuary at 11:30am for our Easter Joint Worship Sunday.
