Ascending The Mountain Of The Lord

April 13, 2025 Preacher: Dr Gary Cass Series: Holy Week

Topic: Kingship of Christ Scripture: John 12:12–19

"Ascending the Mountain of the Lord" unpacks the prophetic and theological significance of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as described in John 12 and foretold in Zechariah 9. This message explores how Jesus’ entry on a donkey, the waving of palm branches, and the resurrection of Lazarus all fulfilled Messianic prophecy, confounded expectations of a political savior, and revealed the deeper spiritual purpose of the Messiah’s mission.

Key themes include:

  • The symbolism of Palm Sunday in light of Jewish nationalism and temple imagery

  • The significance of Jesus riding a donkey’s colt and its prophetic meaning

  • The resurrection of Lazarus as a turning point that stirred messianic fervor

  • The misunderstanding of the crowd and disciples about Jesus’ kingship

  • The connection between Jesus’ first and second comings in light of biblical prophecy

  • The invitation to ascend the mountain of the Lord by grace through faith in Christ

This video is perfect for those studying Holy Week, Messianic prophecy, and the Gospel of John, and for anyone seeking deeper understanding of the cross, redemption, and the true identity of Jesus as King of Kings and Savior of the world.
