The King is Come (Palm Sunday) - Timothy Keller [Sermon]

Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: What do we learn from Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem? Jesus is incredibly humble but absolutely immodest. He orchestrates his entry to show that he is the King. His message to everyone is that they can crown him or kill him, but there is no middle way. The same choice holds true for each and every one of us. In this sermon, we will learn about the nature of the kingship of Christ: 1) The confrontational nature; 2) The paradoxical nature; 3) The transformational nature.
This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 2, 1997.
Scripture Reading: Matthew 21:1-17

The background music stops after the Scripture reading so don't let it keep you from this message!

[@gieintube]

Thanks. I was thinking the background music is quite disturbing.

[@TheSouthernorycle]

Thank you!

[@miriamtuazon8532]

What’s it like to celebrate Easter with Jesus on that side of heaven? Imagine how awesome that sermon would be !!

[@J_bird777]

Thank you Pastor Tim, you lead me closer to Christ through your sermons.

[@brownpsy496]

AMAZING INTERPRETATION Dear pastor, today I was looking for the true events that took place that day long ago. I needed a new take on Jesus's declaration that He is the true King. You sir are the only person that has spoken, put into words, what the average person does not see in the Gospels. Thanks so much for this amazing interpretation of God's word. Florida Believer ❤️

Amazing sermon

[@nickvoutsas5144]

The blind saw why those who had eyes could not see that Jesus was of royal descent. Only Tim notices such fine details which are so visible to someone so blessed to see them. Sometimes we just see to much to see God's works and other times we have to much that we allow ourselves to become slaves to the world. The same people that hailed him noticed his humility and chose to protect their wealth instead crying crucify him and let his "all his blood is on us and on our children" Mathew 27-25.

[@dougwigginton3983]

So well done. Be well Dr. Keller.

[@messi_maeun_stew]

To be gentle is to be defenseless.

[@curiousgeorge555]

Let it be so

Matthew 16:4 “A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.” Matthew 12:40 “For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Heart, hear, ear, eartH Job 14:14 “If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come John 11:24 “Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

[@DalelCampbell]

Please, don't add the background music!

[@paulgemme6056]

This country will never come back. Christ Jesus is coming back, first to take his body of believers out or this evil place (world) and then one day returning to create a new heavens and a new earth where only righteousness dwells. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (2 Peter 3:13)

[@jayjaehwakim5924]

Oh, this was preached in 1997. Yeah, confrontational happens nowadays also. People believe Him (not just respect) or despise. Also yeah, He is gentle king vulnerable going down to servant. So transformational relates to something that will happen when He comes back? Tim is a good preacher. These are hardly captured by just Bible readers.

[@churchofthegreenflipflop2436]

The music in the background is a little distracting. Sermon good though 👍🏼

[@itsjkforreal]

It stops a minute or 2 in

[@churchofthegreenflipflop2436]

Yes but a bit difficult to concentrate on the Bible text :-)

[@mitchellwintercat]

I thought I was taught kings DID ride on donkeys, thus this was another sign

[@2ngail]

The background music dropped in the background is so distracting I couldn’t concentrate on the speaking. SENSORY OVERLOAD. goodbye

[@gospelinlife]

Hi, sorry you feel that way. The background music does stop at the end of the scripture reading when the sermon begins at 3:17.

[@scottcarter1689]

... thankfully, this is another example of God's graciousness in drawing you back to listen to the message rather than exacerbated reaction by the very anxiousness that Dr Tim described precisely in the sermon itself! (I would submit to you that this type of specificity is exactly the transcendent nature that is God's signature! Experiencing these little paradoxes are alignments that cannot be scripted (manipulated) because of their "by the moment" imminent nature (transcendent and imminent convergences that are paradoxes in such types of perfect reflections are jaw-dropping and "humbling to the dust"). I've got a big smile on my face 🙂... to watch it in someone else -because of my tendency and perfectionistic nature! What a blessing! God bless you ...Ya Ya &.... Soli Deo Gloria!

[@scottcarter1689]

... also, I've had nine concussions and been in a two-week coma from a near fatal car wreck on the Baltimore-Washington parkway which resulted in a laceration on right frontal lobe inhibiting executive functioning and external stimuli "overload" (this would be true clinical ADD)... which is another parallel to the types of issues you expressed. (...✝️... this is so rich, one can't make it up!!) ... what a magnificent Good Friday! Coram Deo!

[@rebeccajacob5294]

Focus on the text, it helped me stay focused.

[@joshuaradloff1070]

'' What kind of king is this?'' ... not the kind of king, Paul Washer is preaching about I can tell you that much🤣🤣

[@rainking50]

Can you say more? I'm curious. Thank you.

[@robertjasso6673]

The disciples were young men probably meeting Jesus at 18 or 19 some maybe younger Peter was the old guy at around 20 and the only one married. Only Peter and Jesus paid the tax required at 20 no other disciple went looking for tax money in that famous miracle where Peter found the coin for the tax. Why do I say all this because as has been pointed out this is e a why these guys constantly said and acted like bumblers.

[@DK-ik6fr]

Robert humbly where do you find in the bible? I am Hebrew saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. My heritage history Jewish people says all payed the taxes. just because that is pointed out there is a reason Jesus said render unto Caesar what is Caesars and render unto God what is Gods that is the point. so we know how to operate for Jesus in our world we live in. satan is working hard to bring in the tower of bable again one world religion; one world Gov. abortions=babies on the arms of mullock sodom and gamorrah someone stole our rainbow Gods promise to never flood the world again and made it a flag in the face of God I want it back its not theirs to freely abuse. Did God really say so? YES He did dont be deceived by the evil one read the Bible and get to know Hermeneutics. may God bless you/ us so we are not deceived. The bible says there will be many that say Lord Lord didn't we do this or do that and Jesus will say i never knew you that will be a sad day. Agape all

[@itsjkforreal]

I don't believe youth kept them from getting the messages. I think a lot of us have to work hard together at prayer, study and meditation to get the messages God gives into our hearts.

[@robertjasso6673]

All this is speculation derived from when young men would follow a Rabbi in the time of Christ . It’s not a ‘doctrine ‘. Geesh , no need for a hermeneutical rebuke . American evangelical mindset with a western Christianity
