Creflo Dollar | Creflo Dollar - The Triumphal Entry | April 3, 2026
  • Male announcer: this program is brought to you, in part, by the
  • 00:00:01.314 --> 00:00:03.416
  • Partners and friends of creflo dollar ministries.
  • 00:00:03.550 --> 00:00:07.921
  • Coming up next on, "changing your world."
  • 00:00:08.054 --> 00:00:10.390
  • Creflo dollar: because of sin there was enmity between man and
  • 00:00:11.758 --> 00:00:16.930
  • God and there needed, somehow, to be a reconciling of that.
  • 00:00:16.930 --> 00:00:23.303
  • And so, jesus says that this just didn't happen for free.
  • 00:00:23.303 --> 00:00:26.906
  • Somebody's got to pay for this to happen.
  • 00:00:26.906 --> 00:00:30.643
  • If we're going to have the removal of god's wrath, a
  • 00:00:30.643 --> 00:00:35.381
  • Propitiation has got to take place.
  • 00:00:35.381 --> 00:00:37.517
  • He says, "i will be that payment."
  • 00:00:37.517 --> 00:00:40.753
  • A propitiation is not simply a sacrifice that removes wrath,
  • 00:00:40.753 --> 00:00:46.259
  • But it is a sacrifice that removes wrath and then turns the
  • 00:00:46.259 --> 00:00:51.131
  • Wrath into favor.

  • Creflo: this morning i want to talk to you about, and i call
  • 00:02:03.937 --> 00:02:06.439
  • This, "the triumphal entry."
  • 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.543
  • "the triumphal entry."
  • 00:02:10.543 --> 00:02:14.480
  • Palm sunday is a significant day in the christian calendar as it
  • 00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:21.554
  • Marks the beginning of holy week leading up to easter sunday.
  • 00:02:21.554 --> 00:02:26.926
  • It is a day when jesus rode into jerusalem on a donkey and the
  • 00:02:26.926 --> 00:02:32.765
  • People waved palm branches and laid them on the ground,
  • 00:02:32.765 --> 00:02:37.370
  • Shouting, "hosanna," to the son of david.
  • 00:02:37.370 --> 00:02:41.374
  • Again, you read this in matthew 21 and verse 9. it says,
  • 00:02:41.374 --> 00:02:46.212
  • "blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord; hosanna in
  • 00:02:46.212 --> 00:02:50.617
  • The highest."
  • 00:02:50.617 --> 00:02:52.752
  • So, as we reflect on this event, we remember the significance of
  • 00:02:52.752 --> 00:02:58.057
  • Jesus's entry into jerusalem.
  • 00:02:58.057 --> 00:03:02.662
  • It was a fulfillment of prophecy as it was foretold in zechariah
  • 00:03:02.662 --> 00:03:07.867
  • Chapter 9 and 9.
  • 00:03:07.867 --> 00:03:10.870
  • In fact, let's look there because it's
  • 00:03:10.870 --> 00:03:12.538
  • Important every time you hear that something was prophesied
  • 00:03:12.538 --> 00:03:15.575
  • In the old testament and then you see it prophesied or come
  • 00:03:15.575 --> 00:03:18.378
  • To pass in the new testament, that's a big deal.
  • 00:03:18.378 --> 00:03:22.081
  • In verse 9 it says, "rejoice, o people of zion!
  • 00:03:22.081 --> 00:03:24.350
  • Shout in triumph, o people of jerusalem!
  • 00:03:24.350 --> 00:03:27.053
  • Look, your king is coming to you.
  • 00:03:27.053 --> 00:03:29.489
  • He is righteous," watch this, "and he is victorious."
  • 00:03:29.489 --> 00:03:34.160
  • He says, "yet he is humble, riding on a donkey, riding on a
  • 00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:38.531
  • Donkey's colt."
  • 00:03:38.531 --> 00:03:40.833
  • So, the prophecy was fulfilled as jesus rode into jerusalem on
  • 00:03:40.833 --> 00:03:45.772
  • A donkey, which, by the way, was a symbol of peace and humility
  • 00:03:45.772 --> 00:03:52.245
  • Rather than showing up on a horse, which would be the symbol
  • 00:03:52.245 --> 00:03:56.516
  • Of war and conquest.
  • 00:03:56.516 --> 00:04:00.987
  • So, this was a clear message that jesus's mission was not to
  • 00:04:00.987 --> 00:04:05.491
  • Conquer by force, but to bring peace and salvation to all who
  • 00:04:05.491 --> 00:04:10.663
  • Would believe in him.
  • 00:04:10.663 --> 00:04:13.766
  • And so, the people who welcomed jesus into jerusalem recognized
  • 00:04:13.766 --> 00:04:18.237
  • Him as the messiah and as the son of david who had come to
  • 00:04:18.237 --> 00:04:24.010
  • Save them.
  • 00:04:24.010 --> 00:04:27.447
  • They waved palm branches, which were a symbol of victory and
  • 00:04:27.447 --> 00:04:35.455
  • Triumph, waving those palm branches and they laid them on
  • 00:04:35.455 --> 00:04:39.959
  • The ground as a sign of submission and honor.
  • 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:45.164
  • So, this was a public declaration of their faith in
  • 00:04:45.164 --> 00:04:49.569
  • Jesus as the king who had come to rescue them from oppression
  • 00:04:49.569 --> 00:04:57.176
  • Of the roman empire.
  • 00:04:57.176 --> 00:04:59.445
  • Ah.
  • 00:04:59.445 --> 00:05:01.180
  • So, they thought this jesus who was raised in the dead and this
  • 00:05:01.180 --> 00:05:04.150
  • Jesus who was doing miracles, man, they were celebrating him,
  • 00:05:04.150 --> 00:05:08.354
  • But they thought, he is now coming to jerusalem to deliver
  • 00:05:08.354 --> 00:05:14.160
  • Us from the oppression of the roman empire.
  • 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:18.231
  • They thought he was coming as a politician.
  • 00:05:18.231 --> 00:05:25.405
  • However, the people's enthusiasm soon turned to disappointment,
  • 00:05:25.405 --> 00:05:30.743
  • And even hostility, when the jews did not meet, when--excuse
  • 00:05:30.743 --> 00:05:35.882
  • Me, when jesus didn't meet the expectation of a political ruler
  • 00:05:35.882 --> 00:05:40.386
  • Who would overthrow the roman empire.
  • 00:05:40.386 --> 00:05:42.889
  • Instead, jesus came to offer spiritual salvation and eternal
  • 00:05:42.889 --> 00:05:48.728
  • Life, which was a message that many in that day found to be
  • 00:05:48.728 --> 00:05:54.300
  • Very difficult to accept.
  • 00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:59.739
  • Now, how does this tie into the reality of this covenant of
  • 00:05:59.739 --> 00:06:07.613
  • Grace that we live under?
  • 00:06:07.613 --> 00:06:11.984
  • The christ, the king?
  • 00:06:11.984 --> 00:06:15.888
  • You see, the palm branch represented, like i said,
  • 00:06:15.888 --> 00:06:19.926
  • Goodness and victory and it was a symbol of the final victory
  • 00:06:19.926 --> 00:06:27.867
  • That he would soon come to fulfill victory over death.
  • 00:06:27.867 --> 00:06:35.541
  • The bible says in 1 corinthians 15, verse 55, "o death, where is
  • 00:06:35.541 --> 00:06:40.646
  • Your sting?
  • 00:06:40.646 --> 00:06:42.014
  • O grave, where's your victory?"
  • 00:06:42.014 --> 00:06:43.349
  • Let me read it, is one of them.
  • 00:06:43.349 --> 00:06:44.717
  • Well, he says, "o death, where is your victory?
  • 00:06:44.717 --> 00:06:47.053
  • O death, where is your sting?"
  • 00:06:47.053 --> 00:06:49.989
  • He's gonna have victory over death.
  • 00:06:49.989 --> 00:06:54.927
  • Now, as i'm looking at this in verse 55 i'm thinking about
  • 00:06:54.927 --> 00:07:00.600
  • Somebody here today that might ask, "and?
  • 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:06.339
  • What does that have to do with me?
  • 00:07:06.339 --> 00:07:10.176
  • We celebrate christmas.
  • 00:07:10.176 --> 00:07:11.511
  • We celebrate easter.
  • 00:07:11.511 --> 00:07:12.879
  • We celebrate palm sunday.
  • 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.213
  • But what does that have to do with me?
  • 00:07:14.213 --> 00:07:17.950
  • How is it that the death of jesus christ benefits me
  • 00:07:17.950 --> 00:07:23.789
  • One iota?"
  • 00:07:23.789 --> 00:07:25.258
  • And that's where i wanna spend my time with today.
  • 00:07:25.258 --> 00:07:27.894
  • I wanna talk about the things that christ accomplished by
  • 00:07:27.894 --> 00:07:31.797
  • His death.
  • 00:07:31.797 --> 00:07:33.699
  • What was accomplished by his death?
  • 00:07:33.699 --> 00:07:36.102
  • He's walking and entering into jerusalem and the very next week
  • 00:07:36.102 --> 00:07:46.045
  • He's gonna be operating in resurrection power.
  • 00:07:46.045 --> 00:07:50.550
  • He's coming in the place to die and he's gonna set them free in
  • 00:07:50.550 --> 00:07:57.790
  • Ways that they would never be able to imagine.
  • 00:07:57.790 --> 00:08:03.329
  • How many of y'all you can live in the midst of darkness and
  • 00:08:03.329 --> 00:08:07.633
  • Have light going on in your life?
  • 00:08:07.633 --> 00:08:11.404
  • And there's some crazy things going on in the world, but you
  • 00:08:11.404 --> 00:08:14.440
  • Gotta remember what jesus has done for you so that in the
  • 00:08:14.440 --> 00:08:19.178
  • Midst of all of the stuff that has been prophesied to happen
  • 00:08:19.178 --> 00:08:23.115
  • And we can't cast out prophecy that we are not going to
  • 00:08:23.115 --> 00:08:27.119
  • Be troubled.
  • 00:08:27.119 --> 00:08:28.454
  • In fact, the bible says, "see to it that you be not troubled.
  • 00:08:28.454 --> 00:08:31.424
  • These things must come to pass."
  • 00:08:31.424 --> 00:08:34.860
  • And i pray today that you will begin to rejoice as you
  • 00:08:34.860 --> 00:08:38.197
  • Recognize that through the death of jesus there were things that
  • 00:08:38.197 --> 00:08:43.669
  • He did for us.
  • 00:08:43.669 --> 00:08:45.037
  • He died for you, he died for me.
  • 00:08:45.037 --> 00:08:48.541
  • And it was not just talking about, "he died."
  • 00:08:48.541 --> 00:08:51.110
  • We need to now answer that question.
  • 00:08:51.110 --> 00:08:54.046
  • So, what is it that the death of jesus accomplish for my behalf?
  • 00:08:54.046 --> 00:09:00.219
  • Number one, jesus's death removed our sin and our guilt.
  • 00:09:00.219 --> 00:09:08.961
  • This is called, in bible school, expiation.
  • 00:09:08.961 --> 00:09:14.667
  • Expiation is just simply the removal of sin and guilt.
  • 00:09:14.667 --> 00:09:21.107
  • So, he didn't come just to remove sin.
  • 00:09:21.107 --> 00:09:24.310
  • He came to remove the guilt associated with sin, the shame
  • 00:09:24.310 --> 00:09:28.381
  • Associated with sin, and the condemnation associated
  • 00:09:28.381 --> 00:09:31.651
  • With sin.
  • 00:09:31.651 --> 00:09:33.152
  • Now, people religiously, with a religious ear, they've
  • 00:09:33.152 --> 00:09:37.823
  • Heard this.
  • 00:09:37.823 --> 00:09:39.158
  • "well, what do we celebrate?
  • 00:09:39.158 --> 00:09:40.526
  • What are we celebrating?"
  • 00:09:40.526 --> 00:09:41.861
  • "you know, jesus came and he died for me."
  • 00:09:41.861 --> 00:09:43.229
  • "well, what do you mean?"
  • 00:09:43.229 --> 00:09:44.563
  • "he died for my sins."
  • 00:09:44.563 --> 00:09:45.931
  • But what does that mean?
  • 00:09:45.931 --> 00:09:47.266
  • I get so irritated when i hear stuff talked about religiously
  • 00:09:47.266 --> 00:09:50.403
  • And there's no in depth relational understanding of what
  • 00:09:50.403 --> 00:09:54.407
  • He really did.
  • 00:09:54.407 --> 00:09:56.308
  • So, he died to remove our sin and our guilt.
  • 00:09:56.308 --> 00:10:01.414
  • Let's go to john.
  • 00:10:01.414 --> 00:10:02.782
  • And all this in the nlt.
  • 00:10:02.782 --> 00:10:04.150
  • Go to john chapter 1 and 29.
  • 00:10:04.150 --> 00:10:06.018
  • Let's decipher these scriptures here, john 1:29 says, "the next
  • 00:10:06.018 --> 00:10:11.991
  • Day john saw jesus coming toward him," and here's what john said.
  • 00:10:11.991 --> 00:10:17.530
  • He said, "look!
  • 00:10:17.530 --> 00:10:19.298
  • The lamb of god who takes away the sin of the world!"
  • 00:10:19.298 --> 00:10:25.705
  • Through death he's taking--he's dealing with the sin of the
  • 00:10:25.705 --> 00:10:31.110
  • Whole world.
  • 00:10:31.110 --> 00:10:33.045
  • So, what jesus did, he did for every human being that would
  • 00:10:33.045 --> 00:10:39.518
  • Ever be born on the earth, that if you believe it and accept it
  • 00:10:39.518 --> 00:10:45.191
  • And sign for the package, then you walk in the benefit of your
  • 00:10:45.191 --> 00:10:49.662
  • Deliverance of sin, guilt, shame, and condemnation.
  • 00:10:49.662 --> 00:10:54.266
  • And that's our job as christians right now.
  • 00:10:54.266 --> 00:10:56.635
  • We ought to have a soul winning mentality.
  • 00:10:56.635 --> 00:10:59.839
  • Instead of a judgmental mentality, a soul
  • 00:10:59.839 --> 00:11:02.475
  • Winning mentality.
  • 00:11:02.475 --> 00:11:04.310
  • Where we can go in and when somebody's not saved your
  • 00:11:04.310 --> 00:11:07.747
  • Antennas go up, man.
  • 00:11:07.747 --> 00:11:09.949
  • You're ready to go at it, man.
  • 00:11:09.949 --> 00:11:11.283
  • Somehow, some way, i'm gonna say something.
  • 00:11:11.283 --> 00:11:13.252
  • I'm gonna sow some seeds, i'm gonna water it, but i'm gonna
  • 00:11:13.252 --> 00:11:16.021
  • Say something.
  • 00:11:16.021 --> 00:11:17.389
  • God's gonna give the increase.
  • 00:11:17.389 --> 00:11:18.724
  • I can't make them get saved, but i can sure plant some stuff.
  • 00:11:18.724 --> 00:11:22.328
  • Somebody says, "well, what am i gonna plant?"
  • 00:11:22.328 --> 00:11:24.096
  • Well, look at your own life.
  • 00:11:24.096 --> 00:11:25.464
  • A lot of stuff we go through, when you go through it and come
  • 00:11:25.464 --> 00:11:28.868
  • Out, that's good testimony to sow into somebody else's life.
  • 00:11:28.868 --> 00:11:33.639
  • That's a good way to go to somebody and say, "i have seen
  • 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.408
  • This movie that you're starring in and i know exactly how
  • 00:11:36.408 --> 00:11:39.278
  • It ends.
  • 00:11:39.278 --> 00:11:41.080
  • Listen to me."
  • 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:42.982
  • And so, he came as the lamb of god to take away the sin of the
  • 00:11:42.982 --> 00:11:48.187
  • Whole world through death.
  • 00:11:48.187 --> 00:11:50.422
  • Look at isaiah 53 and 6.
  • 00:11:50.422 --> 00:11:52.858
  • Isaiah 53 and 6.
  • 00:11:52.858 --> 00:11:55.261
  • I pray that if you're not born again today, this is your day.
  • 00:11:55.261 --> 00:11:58.330
  • That somehow the holy spirit sent you here because he's
  • 00:11:58.330 --> 00:12:02.268
  • Trying to get something to happen in your life that's gonna
  • 00:12:02.268 --> 00:12:05.271
  • Make the difference in your whole life.
  • 00:12:05.271 --> 00:12:07.773
  • Isaiah 53 and verse 6 says, "all of us, like sheep, have
  • 00:12:07.773 --> 00:12:12.344
  • Strayed away.
  • 00:12:12.344 --> 00:12:13.879
  • We have left god's path to follow our own.
  • 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:17.783
  • We've left god's path to follow our own.
  • 00:12:17.783 --> 00:12:20.853
  • Yet the lord laid on him the sins of all of us."
  • 00:12:20.853 --> 00:12:27.693
  • So, my sins, your sins, and the sins of the whole world have
  • 00:12:27.693 --> 00:12:31.964
  • Been laid on jesus christ.
  • 00:12:31.964 --> 00:12:34.500
  • Think of that.
  • 00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:36.135
  • He took all of our sins.
  • 00:12:36.135 --> 00:12:37.937
  • All of our sins were laid on jesus christ.
  • 00:12:37.937 --> 00:12:40.773
  • My goodness.
  • 00:12:40.773 --> 00:12:42.141
  • Who does that?
  • 00:12:42.141 --> 00:12:44.877
  • The greatest friend you have in the world?
  • 00:12:43.475 --> 00:12:46.812
  • I don't know if he'd do this.
  • 00:12:46.812 --> 00:12:48.781
  • He took all of our sins and laid it on jesus.
  • 00:12:48.781 --> 00:12:55.888
  • Now, watch this.
  • 00:12:55.888 --> 00:12:57.223
  • Hebrews chapter 9, verse 25 through 26.
  • 00:12:57.223 --> 00:13:02.228
  • The sins of the world laid on his body.
  • 00:13:02.228 --> 00:13:05.664
  • Laid on his body.
  • 00:13:05.664 --> 00:13:07.566
  • He who had never sinned hanging on a cross looked like the
  • 00:13:07.566 --> 00:13:11.237
  • Snake, looked like sin, but he had never sinned.
  • 00:13:11.237 --> 00:13:15.507
  • He looked that way because he took all of our sins, all of our
  • 00:13:15.507 --> 00:13:18.811
  • Sins, upon himself.
  • 00:13:18.811 --> 00:13:21.146
  • And he did this, verse 25 and 26, "and he did not enter heaven
  • 00:13:21.146 --> 00:13:27.419
  • To offer himself again and again, like the high priests
  • 00:13:27.419 --> 00:13:31.123
  • Here on the earth who enter into the most holy place year after
  • 00:13:31.123 --> 00:13:34.693
  • Year with the blood of an animal.
  • 00:13:34.693 --> 00:13:37.529
  • If that had been necessary, christ would have had to die
  • 00:13:37.529 --> 00:13:42.167
  • Again and again, ever since the world began.
  • 00:13:42.167 --> 00:13:46.739
  • But now, once for all time, he has peered--he has appeared at
  • 00:13:46.739 --> 00:13:53.445
  • The end of the age to remove sin by his own death as
  • 00:13:53.445 --> 00:14:00.986
  • A sacrifice."
  • 00:14:00.986 --> 00:14:03.022
  • My god.
  • 00:14:03.022 --> 00:14:04.390
  • This ain't never gonna get boring to me.
  • 00:14:04.390 --> 00:14:05.724
  • If you're religious, it gets boring to you.
  • 00:14:05.724 --> 00:14:07.293
  • Amen?
  • 00:14:07.293 --> 00:14:08.661
  • Oh, i know that.
  • 00:14:08.661 --> 00:14:09.995
  • But i cannot fathom in my mind how one man could show up and
  • 00:14:09.995 --> 00:14:14.099
  • Say, "hey, dad.
  • 00:14:14.099 --> 00:14:15.434
  • I'll take everybody's sin upon myself.
  • 00:14:15.434 --> 00:14:18.370
  • I was born to die."
  • 00:14:18.370 --> 00:14:22.241
  • Wow.
  • 00:14:22.241 --> 00:14:23.575
  • Jesus did that.
  • 00:14:23.575 --> 00:14:27.012
  • So, one of the things we see that through his death he
  • 00:14:27.012 --> 00:14:32.117
  • Removed our sin, our guilt.
  • 00:14:32.117 --> 00:14:34.987
  • Dealt with our condemnation, dealt with our shame.
  • 00:14:34.987 --> 00:14:38.557
  • And he's waiting for you to accept it.
  • 00:14:38.557 --> 00:14:42.127
  • He's waiting for you to sign for the package.
  • 00:14:42.127 --> 00:14:45.931
  • It's one thing that he did it.
  • 00:14:45.931 --> 00:14:48.334
  • It's another thing that you believe it and accept it.
  • 00:14:48.334 --> 00:14:51.804
  • And my question today is, will you receive jesus?
  • 00:14:51.804 --> 00:14:54.940
  • Will you accept what he did?
  • 00:14:54.940 --> 00:14:56.875
  • Will you accept this loving kindness to take the sin of the
  • 00:14:56.875 --> 00:15:02.581
  • Whole world, to sign the package, and to say, "your
  • 00:15:02.581 --> 00:15:07.252
  • Freedom is at hand," but your signature is required?
  • 00:15:07.252 --> 00:15:14.760
  • Here's the second thing that was accomplished through his
  • 00:15:14.760 --> 00:15:19.164
  • Death: propitiation.
  • 00:15:19.164 --> 00:15:24.403
  • Whereas expiation is the removal of our sins, propitiation is the
  • 00:15:24.403 --> 00:15:32.111
  • Removal of god's wrath.
  • 00:15:32.111 --> 00:15:36.648
  • Propitiation means compensation, or payment, or peace offering.
  • 00:15:36.648 --> 00:15:46.658
  • Compensation, or payment, or peace offering.
  • 00:15:46.658 --> 00:15:51.263
  • Jesus became the compensation.
  • 00:15:51.263 --> 00:15:54.967
  • He became the payment.
  • 00:15:54.967 --> 00:15:57.736
  • He became the peace offering that was necessary for the wrath
  • 00:15:57.736 --> 00:16:03.976
  • Of god to be removed.
  • 00:16:03.976 --> 00:16:06.979
  • Because of sin there was enmity between man and god and there
  • 00:16:06.979 --> 00:16:14.420
  • Needed, somehow, to be a reconciling of that.
  • 00:16:14.420 --> 00:16:18.490
  • And so, jesus says that this just didn't happen for free.
  • 00:16:18.490 --> 00:16:22.127
  • Somebody's got to pay for this to happen.
  • 00:16:22.127 --> 00:16:25.898
  • If we're going to have the removal of god's wrath, a
  • 00:16:25.898 --> 00:16:30.536
  • Propitiation has got to take place.
  • 00:16:30.536 --> 00:16:32.704
  • He says, "i will be that payment."
  • 00:16:32.704 --> 00:16:35.974
  • A propitiation is not simply a sacrifice that removes wrath,
  • 00:16:35.974 --> 00:16:41.480
  • But it is a sacrifice that removes wrath and then turns the
  • 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:46.318
  • Wrath into favor.
  • 00:16:46.318 --> 00:16:48.720
  • Jesus became a compensation to remove the wrath between god and
  • 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:53.759
  • Man and then took the wrath that god had against man and turned
  • 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:59.465
  • It into favor.
  • 00:16:59.465 --> 00:17:01.100
  • And so, that--so that his love, now his love, can now realize
  • 00:17:01.100 --> 00:17:05.838
  • Its purpose in doing good to us every day in all things forever
  • 00:17:05.838 --> 00:17:11.743
  • Without sacrificing his justice and without sacrificing
  • 00:17:11.743 --> 00:17:15.848
  • His holiness.
  • 00:17:15.848 --> 00:17:17.182
  • Jesus paid the price.
  • 00:17:17.182 --> 00:17:19.084
  • And so, now god says, "no restrictions on my love.
  • 00:17:19.084 --> 00:17:24.289
  • No more enemy between me and man.
  • 00:17:24.289 --> 00:17:27.226
  • I will do him good and make him happy."
  • 00:17:27.226 --> 00:17:34.433
  • Lord have mercy.
  • 00:17:34.433 --> 00:17:37.970
  • The third thing that was accomplished by his
  • 00:17:37.970 --> 00:17:40.005
  • Death: reconciliation.
  • 00:17:40.005 --> 00:17:44.943
  • So, there was a removal of wrath, the removal of sin.
  • 00:17:44.943 --> 00:17:50.616
  • Reconciliation revolves the removal of our alienation
  • 00:17:50.616 --> 00:17:54.419
  • From god.
  • 00:17:54.419 --> 00:17:55.754
  • We were alienated from god.
  • 00:17:55.754 --> 00:17:58.524
  • Romans chapter--well, hold on a minute.
  • 00:17:58.524 --> 00:18:01.660
  • I rushed through propitiation.
  • 00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:02.995
  • Let's back up there a little bit.
  • 00:18:02.995 --> 00:18:04.463
  • That was too big, man.
  • 00:18:04.463 --> 00:18:05.797
  • Look at romans 3:25 and 26 in the nlt.
  • 00:18:05.797 --> 00:18:10.769
  • You need some scripture on that so you can go and meditate, did
  • 00:18:10.769 --> 00:18:12.905
  • That really happen?
  • 00:18:12.905 --> 00:18:14.239
  • Yeah.
  • 00:18:14.239 --> 00:18:15.607
  • 25 and 26, "for god presented jesus as the sacrifice for sin.
  • 00:18:15.607 --> 00:18:19.711
  • People are made right with god when they believe that jesus
  • 00:18:19.711 --> 00:18:23.482
  • Sacrificed his life."
  • 00:18:23.482 --> 00:18:24.850
  • How many of you believe that jesus sacrificed his life
  • 00:18:24.850 --> 00:18:26.818
  • For you?
  • 00:18:26.818 --> 00:18:28.287
  • He said, "shedding his blood.
  • 00:18:28.287 --> 00:18:31.390
  • This sacrifice shows that god was being fair when he held back
  • 00:18:31.390 --> 00:18:38.397
  • And did not punish those who sinned in times past, for he was
  • 00:18:38.397 --> 00:18:43.635
  • Looking ahead."
  • 00:18:43.635 --> 00:18:45.837
  • The reason why he didn't punish all of the ones he could have
  • 00:18:45.837 --> 00:18:49.942
  • Punished in time past because he was looking ahead.
  • 00:18:49.942 --> 00:18:53.378
  • "and including them in what he would do in this present time.
  • 00:18:53.378 --> 00:18:58.784
  • God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is
  • 00:18:58.784 --> 00:19:04.089
  • Fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when
  • 00:19:04.089 --> 00:19:10.095
  • They believe in jesus."
  • 00:19:10.095 --> 00:19:13.498
  • When they believe in jesus.
  • 00:19:13.498 --> 00:19:16.435
  • And then in hebrews chapter 2:17.
  • 00:19:16.435 --> 00:19:19.938
  • Hebrews chapter 2 and verse 17.
  • 00:19:19.938 --> 00:19:23.442
  • He says, "therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in
  • 00:19:23.442 --> 00:19:26.878
  • Every respect like us."
  • 00:19:26.878 --> 00:19:29.181
  • It was necessary for jesus to be made in every respect like us,
  • 00:19:29.181 --> 00:19:32.951
  • "his brothers and his sisters."
  • 00:19:32.951 --> 00:19:34.286
  • Why?
  • 00:19:34.286 --> 00:19:35.654
  • "so that he could be our merciful and faithful high
  • 00:19:35.654 --> 00:19:38.924
  • Priest before god."
  • 00:19:38.924 --> 00:19:41.860
  • He had to be made like us so he can show some mercy.
  • 00:19:41.860 --> 00:19:46.598
  • "then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of
  • 00:19:46.598 --> 00:19:52.804
  • The people."
  • 00:19:52.804 --> 00:19:54.573
  • Knowing us, knowing how man was, he could become that sacrifice
  • 00:19:54.573 --> 00:20:01.380
  • To take away those sins.
  • 00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:02.748
  • And then in 1 john 4 and 10.
  • 00:20:02.748 --> 00:20:05.284
  • 1 john 4 and 10.
  • 00:20:05.284 --> 00:20:07.119
  • Oh, jesus.
  • 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:08.453
  • Just reading the word get me stirred up this morning.
  • 00:20:08.453 --> 00:20:11.156
  • He said, "this is real love, not that we loved god, but that he
  • 00:20:11.156 --> 00:20:16.928
  • Loved us and," watch what he did, "and then he sent his son
  • 00:20:16.928 --> 00:20:21.099
  • As a sacrifice to take away our sins."
  • 00:20:21.099 --> 00:20:23.902
  • "this is real love, not that we love god."
  • 00:20:23.902 --> 00:20:26.772
  • See, in the church, it's always about how much you love god.
  • 00:20:26.772 --> 00:20:31.543
  • You're always talking about how much you love god.
  • 00:20:31.543 --> 00:20:34.179
  • And i guess i believe you, but i know for a fact that you can't
  • 00:20:34.179 --> 00:20:37.416
  • Love god until you, first of all, believe the love that he
  • 00:20:37.416 --> 00:20:41.153
  • Has for you.
  • 00:20:41.153 --> 00:20:43.255
  • "oh, i love god.
  • 00:20:43.255 --> 00:20:44.623
  • Don't you love god?"
  • 00:20:44.623 --> 00:20:49.294
  • No.
  • 00:20:49.294 --> 00:20:50.662
  • The question is, do you believe that god loves you?
  • 00:20:50.662 --> 00:20:52.798
  • Okay?
  • 00:20:52.798 --> 00:20:54.132
  • He says, "here's love, though."
  • 00:20:54.132 --> 00:20:56.001
  • "but that he loved us," and look what he did, "he sent his son as
  • 00:20:56.001 --> 00:21:00.439
  • A sacrifice to take away our sins."
  • 00:21:00.439 --> 00:21:04.409
  • That's that love.
  • 00:21:04.409 --> 00:21:06.311
  • Amen.
  • 00:21:06.311 --> 00:21:07.646
  • Think about this, ladies and gentlemen.
  • 00:21:07.646 --> 00:21:11.683
  • I'm going line by line, i'm showing you scripture
  • 00:21:11.683 --> 00:21:13.919
  • By scripture.
  • 00:21:13.919 --> 00:21:15.287
  • You know the world is coming to an end, especially when you see
  • 00:21:15.287 --> 00:21:19.224
  • Bible prophecy come to pass, china and russia.
  • 00:21:19.224 --> 00:21:23.762
  • When you see the bible talks about the waves moving
  • 00:21:23.762 --> 00:21:27.165
  • And being beat, weather.
  • 00:21:27.165 --> 00:21:29.234
  • When you see all the things that are striking up and taking place
  • 00:21:29.234 --> 00:21:33.205
  • In the middle east right now.
  • 00:21:33.205 --> 00:21:35.040
  • Honey, there's wars going on that they hadn't had time to put
  • 00:21:35.040 --> 00:21:37.876
  • On abc.
  • 00:21:37.876 --> 00:21:39.745
  • In fact, stuff going on everywhere.
  • 00:21:39.745 --> 00:21:42.381
  • And if you can't--if you don't--listen, jesus is--he's
  • 00:21:42.381 --> 00:21:45.817
  • Coming back just like he said he would.
  • 00:21:45.817 --> 00:21:49.454
  • "well, i don't believe it."
  • 00:21:49.454 --> 00:21:50.789
  • That's fine.
  • 00:21:50.789 --> 00:21:52.157
  • Sit there, bubba.
  • 00:21:52.157 --> 00:21:53.492
  • When he comes, you gonna be the--you gonna have the biggest
  • 00:21:53.492 --> 00:21:55.427
  • Surprise of your life.
  • 00:21:55.427 --> 00:21:56.795
  • You know, when jesus was coming on palm--on that palm
  • 00:21:56.795 --> 00:21:59.398
  • Sunday--when he was coming through, nobody knew that was
  • 00:21:59.398 --> 00:22:02.434
  • Gonna be the last week.
  • 00:22:02.434 --> 00:22:05.637
  • Wonder what would the disciples have done had they known this is
  • 00:22:05.637 --> 00:22:09.574
  • Our last week with him like this.
  • 00:22:09.574 --> 00:22:12.511
  • Our last week with him like this.
  • 00:22:12.511 --> 00:22:15.313
  • Well--and see, i'm asking you the same thing.
  • 00:22:15.313 --> 00:22:17.783
  • How do you know that this might not--this might be your
  • 00:22:17.783 --> 00:22:20.819
  • Last week.
  • 00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:23.088
  • Now, it's not because the bible says, "no man knows the day or
  • 00:22:23.088 --> 00:22:26.158
  • The hour."
  • 00:22:26.158 --> 00:22:27.492
  • So, don't make me a prophet because no man knows the day or
  • 00:22:27.492 --> 00:22:29.428
  • The hour.
  • 00:22:29.428 --> 00:22:30.762
  • I can't tell you this is your last week.
  • 00:22:30.762 --> 00:22:32.464
  • "well, maybe you can."
  • 00:22:32.464 --> 00:22:33.799
  • No, i can't.
  • 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:35.167
  • "well, the lord told me last night that he coming
  • 00:22:35.167 --> 00:22:36.535
  • On the 7th."
  • 00:22:36.535 --> 00:22:37.869
  • He ain't coming on the 7th.
  • 00:22:37.869 --> 00:22:39.237
  • You had some collard greens or something before you went
  • 00:22:39.237 --> 00:22:40.939
  • To bed.
  • 00:22:40.939 --> 00:22:42.307
  • That ain't happening.
  • 00:22:42.307 --> 00:22:46.611
  • He's coming back, dude.
  • 00:22:46.611 --> 00:22:48.980
  • He's coming back.
  • 00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:50.515
  • And there are people that hear that--the earth is just so
  • 00:22:50.515 --> 00:22:53.385
  • Filled with unbelief.
  • 00:22:53.385 --> 00:22:56.254
  • This society and this generation, they don't
  • 00:22:56.254 --> 00:22:58.824
  • Believe nothing.
  • 00:22:58.824 --> 00:23:00.992
  • And then, when it's too late and then when it happens, uh-oh.
  • 00:23:00.992 --> 00:23:07.833
  • Come on, receive the love of god, receive what he wants to do
  • 00:23:07.833 --> 00:23:11.436
  • For you, receive what he's done for you.
  • 00:23:11.436 --> 00:23:13.338
  • Receive him.
  • 00:23:13.338 --> 00:23:14.706
  • Now it's time to believe, praise god.
  • 00:23:14.706 --> 00:23:17.075
  • Now it's time for you to just shut off all of the other
  • 00:23:17.075 --> 00:23:20.145
  • Opinions that you are hearing and just look at this word and
  • 00:23:20.145 --> 00:23:23.882
  • Pay attention to your heart.
  • 00:23:23.882 --> 00:23:25.517

  • Praise god.
  • 00:23:31.122 --> 00:23:32.457
  • There's something about your heart that knows when something

  • Is right.
  • 00:23:34.626 --> 00:23:35.961
  • There's something about your heart that knows when something
  • 00:23:35.961 --> 00:23:37.596
  • Is wrong.
  • 00:23:37.596 --> 00:23:38.930
  • And i'm telling you, just by nature something on the inside
  • 00:23:38.930 --> 00:23:42.400
  • Knows that something's happening, something's coming.
