Hosanna! Blessed is the King!
Sermon Notes
Pastor Chang Kim
Psalm 24
Introduction
Mark 11:9-10 “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”
Matthew 21:10-11 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Psalm 24 is divided into three stanzas
1. The Lord as Creator vv1-2
2. Receive Him as Savior vv3-6
Charles Spurgeon wrote: It is possible that you are saying, 'I shall never enter into the heaven of God, for I have neither clean hands nor a pure heart.' Look then to Christ, who has already climbed the holy hill. He has entered as the forerunner of those who trust Him. Follow in His footsteps, and repose upon His merit. He rides triumphantly into heaven, and you shall ride there too if you trust Him. 'But how can I get the character described?' say you. The Spirit of God will give you that. He will create in you a new heart and a right spirit. Faith in Jesus is the work of the Holy Spirit, and has all virtues wrapped up in it.
3. Welcome Him as King vv7-10
