A Garden & Jesus the Man of Sorrows

Last week, Pastor Rick shared with you the first message of this series, where we talked about a donkey and Jesus the Messiah.  We discovered that the donkey itself was a prophecy fulfilled and that this humble animal heralded THE Messiah.  We learned that the story of the donkey mattered because it underscored the accuracy of the Scriptures as trustworthy.  It emphasized that Jesus the Christ was fully cognizant of His own identity as both God and man and lived according to the Messiah paradigm.  It demonstrated that Jesus willingly purposefully approached Jerusalem to fulfill his destiny: not of an earthly throne but a cross.  And, finally, it highlighted the fact that having fulfilled hundreds of prophecies and promises to come the first time, Jesus’ promise to come again is rich and full and can be relied upon.  He kept His promise to come the first time.  We can be sure He will keep His promise to come the second time. 

Having considered Jesus the Messiah, we now turn to another picture – another glimpse of the Passion – It is a picture of Jesus the Man of Sorrows.
