3-24-24Jesus Passionate Cry: Through Me You Will Live (John 12)

Palm Sunday, the day that we remember about Christ coming into Jerusalem. It’s a time that we remember the Lord, Jesus Christ, what He did, what He said, Who He was The entire ministry of Jesus was preparing people for eternity. Jesus pointed the way to heaven through all He did. Through the parables Jesus was speaking about heaven, through Hi miracles He was showing the miraculous healing of heaven, through His actions He was pointing to heaven, and through His life He brought heaven down to us that through Him all could be saved. Jesus always pointed the way to heaven, He always glorified God, He always told people of Himself about who he was and what He had come to do. He told everyone this when He took the scroll of Isaiah and read from chapter 61:

Luke 4:16–21 (NKJV)
16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
18 “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”
20 Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
