Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11; Philippians 2:
GOD’S PLAN IS BETTER THAN YOURS
We often don’t understand God’s plans, methods or reasons, but we can trust that His ways are higher, His love is unending, and His plan is perfect.
God works all things together for our sanctification (becoming more like Jesus).
Romans 8:28
Hosanna! means “Save us now!”
God’s plan was so much better!
JESUS IS THE TRUE SAVIOR
Our sin separates us from a perfect holy God.
“The life of Christianity consists of possessive pronouns. It is one thing to say, ‘Christ is a Savior’; it is quite another thing to say, ‘He is my Savior and my Lord.’ The devil can say the first; the true Christian alone can say the second.”
—Martin Luther
John 3:36
Choosing Jesus as my Savior means I don’t try to save myself.
Jesus doesn’t simply improve us—He transforms us entirely.
IF JESUS IS YOUR KING THEN… HE IS IN CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE
Philippians 2:5–11
Jesus as Lord means our total surrender.
Romans 5:6–9
John 14:23
Take Aways
Do we want Jesus to just fix a few things or do we trust Him as Lord over everything?
What do you need to surrender to Jesus today?
Have I trusted Jesus as my Savior and King?
