Msg #24012 Behold the Lamb the Lion

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

Palm Sunday, the Triumphal Entry of Christ into Jerusalem, Hosanna to the son of David, it earmarks the 10^th of Abib when the Passover Lamb was selected and separated from the flock for a 14^th of Abib Passover day crucifixion (Exod.12:3,6); it earmarks the King and Messiah of Israel bringing salvation to the world, yet coming upon a colt, the foal of an ass (Zech.9:9); it earmarks the Scepter, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the man-Shiloh, his gathering of the people, his clothes washed in the blood of grapes, his eyes red like wine (Gen.49:8-12).

Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. He is King, but he is Saviour; he is Messiah, but he is Sacrifice; he is Scepter, but he is Shiloh. The Scepter speaks of his “Supreme authority.” The place Shiloh is Bible referenced 32 times meaning “place of rest”, but the Man-Shiloh is Bible referenced only once, and means “he whose it is” AND “that which belongs to him” AND “tranquility – place of rest.” The Messiah is the “anointed one of God”, the Sacrifice is his being offered, because God so loved, that his Only Begotten Son, “even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us” (Joh.3:16, 1Cor.5:7).

The last week of Jesus Christ's time on earth consumes 25% of Matthew's writings, 32% of Mark's, 21% of Luke's and 43% of the Apostle John's. If it consumes my whole week it gets 2% of my year. This week behold the Lamb, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass” (Zech.9:9).
