This audio source is a sermon delivered on Resurrection Sunday that reflects on the events of Holy Week in Jerusalem, focusing on the diverse responses to Jesus’s arrival. The speaker highlights the obedience of the disciples, the self-centered expectations of the crowds, the hostility of the Pharisees, and the resistance of the city of Jerusalem. He contrasts these reactions with Jesus’s purposeful entry into Jerusalem and his ultimate sacrifice on the cross. The sermon emphasizes the significance of Jesus’s suffering and death as an atonement for sin and the transformative power of his resurrection, which offers believers new birth, an imperishable inheritance, assurance of salvation, growth through trials, and inexpressible joy. The central message is the importance of welcoming Jesus as King and trusting in his resurrection as the source of enduring hope in life’s difficulties.
