Am I a Child or a Chief?

Matthew 21:12-17

Pew Bible Pg.  802

 

 

I.  Jesus entered the city with another reminder of how we ought to worship.                           vs. 12-13

   

    A.  True worship is not corrupted by greed and selfishness.                                               John 4:21-24

 

    B.  We acknowledge the Audience of One. 

 

II.  Jesus declared and demonstrated who He was.                                                                          vs. 14, 16

 

    A.  Jesus is God.                                                                                                          John 1:1-2, John 5:18

 

    B.  He did wonderful things for the people.                                                                                         vs. 15

 

 

III.  Our response to Jesus determines our eternity.

 

    A.  The children worshipped him.                                                                                   vs. 15, Matt. 18:1-4

 

    B.   The chief priests and scribes were indignant.                                                                               vs. 15

 

 

Have I come to worship in form and fashion or in spirit and truth?

Have I “grown up” in my faith or am I keeping my faith like a child?
