From Death to Life (3):
The Journey of Redemption
The Humble King (Matthew 21:1-11)
Introduction: Jesus is a King unlike any other. Our text today is known as, “Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.” (Yes, we are a week early). Palm Sunday sets the stage for Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice on the cross which we will study next week. We see in our text, Jesus came as a King, but not in the way the world expected. His humility demonstrates the nature of His kingdom.
My prayer for us today, is that we will embrace Jesus’ humility and follow Jesus’ example of servanthood in your daily life.
Following Jesus’ example of humility makes us look most like Jesus and gives us the best opportunities to share Jesus.

The Cost of Our Sin
(Romans 3:23-26; Luke 22:39-46)
Introduction: Humanity has a universal problem – sin.
- Sin is not just a mistake; it is a violation of God’s holiness.
- Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
- Sin carries a cost we cannot pay, but God provided a way through Jesus.

The Promise of Redemption
(Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 53:4-6)
Introduction: The story of redemption begins in Genesis.
Every great story has a beginning. The story of redemption starts not at the birth of Jesus, but all the way back in the garden of Eden.
In Genesis, we read how humanity, created in God’s image, was given the freedom to choose obedience to God or rebellion. Tempted by the serpent, Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating from the forbidden tree, introducing sin and its consequences into the world.
This act of disobedience fractured the perfect relationship between humanity and God, leading to spiritual separation, pain, and death.
Even in that moment of failure, God made a promise—a promise that He would make things right again.
