In the name of the Glorious Trinity.

Amen. Glory be to the Everlasting

mercies which sent you to us. Oh, Christ the light of the

world and the life of all give us wisdom by a law and Enlighten

our impulses, by your knowledge, sanctify, ourselves by your

truth, and Grant that we may be obedient to your words and may

fulfill your Commandments at every hour.

Oh, you who enlightens the rationale with the knowledge of

your greatness? Do in light?

Oh my Lord are thoughts that we made.

Meditate upon your holy and divine scriptures at all times

O, Lord of all Father and Son and Holy Spirit forever.

Hosanna Hosanna, hosanna in the highest not bad with a fluid

voice. Yesterday, we packed the

churches, the CEOs. As we say, the Christmas Easter

and I'll Shana faithful or all present glorifying God, thank

God for that. It was great to see you all even

though it was that one of Those days of the acronyms that we

have praising, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Celebrating his triumphant entrance, as the Lord of lords.

The King of Kings into a Jerusalem and we have entered

the the Holy Week. Also, known as the week of the

passion of Jesus Christ. The passion week as we Embrace

ourselves prepare ourselves in particular, during this time of

Lent fasting to commemorate and the passion, the sorrow, the

suffering of Our Lord for you. And I and to celebrate the

victory, over Satan sin and death, praise be to his name.

What I'd like to talk about today is I'd like to backtrack.

Let's go back to yesterday as Sunday, the Sunday of the

hosannas or Palm Sunday horse Sheba, Excuse me, while she, but

all Shauna, you're going to hear that.

So, you know, as I've I said, there's no editing will continue

and I'd like to have a talk about the triumphant entrance of

Jesus Christ and like to share with you the commentary of one

of the church fathers and I've quoted him a few times Model, D

shoe or sorry my tissue that of Merv in classic Syriac is Mari

issue. Dad Marzia romanized is Mari

issue. Dad Marussia.

Circa 8850. So mid 18th century.

He was a bishop of Hadith which was a town, close to the mouth

of the other Mount of the great, Zab in Arabic.

It's called and zap al-kabir. And in Kurdish is z budino, no

Zane machine. And it was during the Abbasid

caliphate, which was near the current day mosul, Iraq and a

prominent Theologian. He was of the Assyrian Church of

the He's and best known for his commentaries on the Syriac a

Bible. And he quotes amazingly.

He you, he gives us 10 /. I'm sorry if seven points of why

Jesus did what he did. The, the type and the images

that he was portraying, excuse me.

And he begins by saying, why a beast of burden.

He says our Lord uses a beast of burden which was not his Mm.

Not on account on fatigue. He wasn't tired.

He wasn't exhausted on the way to Jerusalem because he walked

by foot for 17 miles from Jericho to the house of olives.

And he then requests a beast or a creature, or an animal, a

little for a little less than two miles from the house of

Olives to Jerusalem. Why the first thing Mary should

add Comments, is that he went on foot from Jericho to Bethpage

that? He might, if typify the laborers

and displeasures of human nature.

That is our nature, which our nature bears in this cursed

Earth from transgression of the Commandment to this point, the

breaking of the Commandment to this point.

So, when Christ was walking, From Jericho to the house of

Olives. Or from Jericho de Bethpage, he

was typifying. Our displeasure, our fallen

nature, because which we had borne the guilt and the burden

of the Fallen nature, the Fallen State because of the breaking of

the commandant until that point. And today, even today, beloved,

we continue to carry that burden because we are still a broken

sinful people. That is why we continue to sin.

That is why we continue to disobey God, but what Jesus did

gives us hope. And he goes on to say about

from, Bethpage the beast of burden and what preceded it Tiff

of typify, sufficiently the retraction, or the abolition of

the abolishment of the Fatigue of our nature and its Liberation

from harm to the rest. That is in heaven.

So from Jericho to Bethpage, he was typifying.

Our burden from Bethpage to Jerusalem, which is the city

above ways? Sure.

Today our Jerusalem is the heaven that we away.

Await Christ is typifying, the that he sufficiently retracted

that burden and that he took. Took away that burden in his

nature. So that we may from this point

until the second coming into entrance into the kingdom of

heaven, we will be liberated with him.

As secondly, he goes on to say, the Beast of Burden.

That is the the donkey or the ass typifies, the riding on the

Flaming clouds. He's owned at once and hours

when he was taken up into the clouds.

We read in the Holy scriptures and the angel says, to the

disciples, why do you gaze in heaven?

This Jesus Christ, who was taken up.

So the same way he will return one more time.

But when we read 1 Thessalonians, 4:17, Paul writes

on the day when the Lord returns he writes then we who are alive

and remain shall Be caught up together with them in the

clouds, to meet our Lord in the air so that we can meet him and

greet him. And that we may come in Praise

before him. So that we may meet our Lord in

the air. And so shall we ever be with our

Lord therefore take comfort one another, or give come or Comfort

one another with these words. So the Beast the writing of the

Beast into Jerusalem typifies signifies he's taken up in the

cloud into heaven and when he returns we the same way,

according to 1 Thessalonians 4:17 will be taken up with him

1 Thessalonians 4:17

into heaven. Ian marechal that goes on and

says about an ass and not another animal.

This is to say a balusters, a white donkey We're going to read

some scripture about this white donkey, why, why was it a white

donkey and not another animal? Number one to destroy pride.

And this is so common Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey to

teach us. Humility, I mean to that but he

goes on to say to tease destroy Pride which is The Offspring of

Satan and typify. Humility The Fountain and cause

of all our good things which is humility.

Why a blaster the balusters, which signifies he's He listened

to this, his lordship and his kingdom for it was the custom of

satraps, that is Governors and kings of that time in the Old

Testament to parade about in honor upon such animals, that

means a white donkey, or a white ass, a molester and evidence of.

This is Deborah. The prophetess and wise woman

saying you that are Wished among the peoples bless the Lord, and

you that right on white asses. That is a donkey's Jude.

Uh, sorry, I'm sorry, Judges, chapter 5 and I think it's about

Judges 5 · chapter mention

first 10. So what would happen Kings and

governors returning from from wars being Victorious on these

white donkeys? And and the crowd would shout

save save, meaning you saved us from our enemies.

That's what I was. Earning means, Hosanna is a

praise but Hosanna means save because Jesus Christ is going to

save us from the burden of sin, and he will ride and we to with

him when he returns into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Those who have or will be saved on that day when he returns,

that is why it was not an ordinary donkey.

It was a white donkey. It was a balusters.

And he goes on to say also that he might establish a law for the

Shepherds and rulers of the church.

Let me say it again, let me read it again that Jesus sitting on a

donkey being a white donkey because of his lordship and his

kingdom because Kings would ride on those.

Our King of Kings is riding on the donkey.

You know, after we've it's ascertained that it was

humility. Now he's showing his, the

depicting, his confirming, his lordship and his kingdom.

He is the king but he does. This also that, He might

establish according to Marie. Shoe that a law.

A precedent for the Shepherds and rulers of the church that as

much as possible. They may bear laborers and

hardships for the sake of the deposits.

That means those who have been entrusted to them the deposits

with which they are interesting. That are the souls, the flock

and that if there happened to be a necessary reason, they may use

rest and a Chuckle is this 8th Century beloved but only what is

of little value and such like and leaving what might puff up?

That means avoiding what might puff up that they may strengthen

themselves in humility of Mind. Wow, a lot more just Divine and

us. I'm sorry a lot more than just

our human. Jesus showed us humility.

He was also, obviously, he was fulfilling prophecy, SEC.

Araya, he was fulfilling fulfilling the prophecy.

He goes on to say number four by the donkey.

He signifies how stupid and ruthless our nature.

Is of all that is divine as Isaiah.

Testifies in Zion, Isaiah chapter 1, verse 3, the ox knows

Isaiah 1:3

his owner and the donkey he's Master Master's crib so he wants

to show that we are so ruthless and so foolish because today too

Dearly beloved not only two thousand and twenty three years

ago today, eight people don't know, their lord, people don't

know. The people don't accept Jesus to

be the Lord. Maybe not them.

Don't accept them to be their Lord, but admit accept and

confess that Jesus is, the Lord is the Christ, is the savior is

the only path. And the only way the truth, the

life to God, the Father, maybe you don't want to accept it,

that's fine. But admit and accept that he is,

but I don't want to accept that's your choice.

You have the Liberty that is being granted, gifted graciously

gifted to you, by God. By and but the donkey the ass

you know that word is we used to to downgrade people to insult

people u.s. right. But ask me is a donkey okay yeah

I'm not gonna go into the other definitions.

Let's let's leave that for the world.

He goes on. Marie shoe that but two were

brought as we read in Mark. Two animals were brought Ashy

donkey. And her cult, which is a young

male horse and he rode upon them both.

As The Interpreter and others testify.

Do you see how the church fathers are also referring to

the writings of the ad interpreters are the church

fathers who were gifted who were permitted, who had the Holy

Spirit back in the eighth, the the seventh, the sixth, the

fourth Century to comment on the holy scriptures.

Let me read that again, but to abroad.

As she donkey. Which is called a Jeanette or a

Jenny and her cult that is young male horse and he wrote upon

them both as The Interpreter and others testify.

Sometimes on one and sometimes on the other to show that he

conquered both beneath his power, the nation and the

Nations together, that means the Jewish nation and the Gentiles

and praise and glory be to his name.

He is Conquering, both the Christians and the

non-christians, the Christians being the Israel of God, the

nation of God, and a non Christians being the, the end,

the Gentiles being the non-christians today.

Those who haven't received the law, the Covenant, the New

Covenant, the spiritual Covenant, of the Lord Jesus

Christ. And by the she donkey, the

Jenny, he signifies the conversion of the nation which

before was toiling and laboring in the burden of the legal

things, which means the law, they were labeled by the law,

they were labeled by the man-made law.

They were labeled by God's law. Why were they labored?

Because the law as st. Paul says was weak.

Not that the law was weak, but the law was weak in human nature

because human flesh was weak and he could not make anything of

the law. Hence Jesus Christ, fulfills not

abolishes. Jesus didn't abolish, he

fulfilled the law in his Humanity on our behalf.

And he gave us the new low. And he goes on to say, by the

hot-headed, cold hot-headed cold, he signifies the nation's

as not subjugated and not learned in the law, which is the

cult The six-point he says is that that he might signify by

them both the male or the mother donkey and the Colt, her cult

that the first and the last, and the fathers and the children,

and obedient, and the disobedient and physical bodies,

and peaceful Souls would we would be brought under obedience

to him. Remember when he reinstated,

Simon in the Gospel of John, And by the way, it was by the

fireplace, wasn't it when they had caught nothing and then they

dragged the net, 153 fish, they came and saw that the call was

burning and there was fish on the coal food, ready, prepared.

So that he could eat, he could eat to prove the confirm that I

have resurrected with the body, the flesh.

Let's read them versus it's John chapter 21.

John 21 · chapter mention

Now, let's pick it up from verse 15 when they had broken their

fast. Those who oppose fasting.

There's the word in the scriptures when they had broken

their fast. Jesus said to Simon, Peter

Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these things?

He said to him? Yes my Lord.

You know that I love you. Jesus said to him, feed my

Lambs. That is the children who don't

understand anything children don't have faith.

Well, Christ, is telling the church to feed the children.

The Lambs. He said to him again.

The second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?

He said to him. Yes, my Lord.

You know that I love you. Jesus said to him, feed my

sheep. That is the mail.

The father's the husbands. He said to him again, the third

time Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?

It grieved Peter because he said to him the third time.

Do you love me? So he said to him, my Lord, you

understand. Well, everything, you know that,

I love you. Jesus said to him, feed my use.

That is the female. That is the mothers, the wives,

So according to Maori, should add so true, the fathers and the

children and the beading and the disobedient and physical bodies.

And peaceful Souls would be brought unto him under obedience

to him and they are in the church those who are being

administered by the church are under the obedience Are obedient

should be obedient, should practice a medians to him.

Our Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ.

Praise between his name, .7 by the called, he signifies about

his power that though, it was a cult, not broken in that means,

no man had ridden it. No man had sat on it and we read

this in Mark chapter 11 verse 2, and he said to them, go to the

Mark 11:2

Village ahead of us. And as soon as you enter it,

you'll find a Colt tied up on which no man of the sons of men

have ever ridden, untie it and bring it.

No one had ridden without a saddle, or a Packsaddle with

nothing on his neck. No rope no halter.

No brittle. And he went up and down, those

difficult, and rugged lanes. And by those Tangles of branches

of and clothes that were in the way and leaping off snares, the

cult was not made wild and did not kick.

But it was very nearly humanized rights.

Money should add and reproved, the pride of the scribes and

Pharisees who completed the beasts and animals and resembled

them. The cult did not kick, did not

jerk but accepted the authority except that the carrying of

Jesus Christ. And yet the He's did not what I

wouldn't. Say, couldn't did not want to

accept. So who was the animal, like

their beloved? Muddy shoe that goes on to write

and just as the sea bore him and did not drown him.

Thus, also the cult bore him and did not get Restless for the

creatures. Felt that he was their lord.

Even the creatures knew that he is their lord.

The ox knows his owner and the donkey he's Master script Isaiah

13 and today man does not know the Lord.

Jesus Christ, the see submitted to him and became calm.

The wind, seized Legion went away.

The fish gave up the money. The fig tree dried up and the

cult became quiet, but today man does not accept and does not

want to accept the Lord, Jesus Christ.

And those who claim that, if they have accepted him as their

lord want, To accept him, according to what they feel.

And what they like. What part of Christ you want to

accept our. You cannot judge me.

Only God, Can Judge Me. Amen, to that.

Praise and glory be to his name. Why?

Because Jesus says, you cannot judge a mean.

But Jesus says flee from immorality flee from sexual

immorality, Briefly from drunkenness, flee from the

patterns of this world. What about that?

The animals that Jesus used accepted and received and will

obediently tomb in every circumstance.

And he goes on to write, but the crowds were divided into four

parts. Those who are accompanying,

Jesus before him, and behind him, and on his right hand and

on his left, the mystery of the Splendor of the last day.

When he returns for just as in the last day, the wicked shall

remain in the caves below, meaning on Earth.

Their eyes, darkened and shall weep, and well, and gnash their

teeth and striped start calling out to those who during their

term of Life. On this world were trying to

speak to them and and you know and and witnessing to them and

and trying to wake them up and bring them to repentance.

They will start crying out or Robbie.

Oh Stephen oh help me Omar pollen.

All st. Plan.

Help me. But the Lord will say, I did not

know you because you chose not to know me, but the good shall

be arranged in four orders the Angels before him the righteous.

Who have not seen at his, right? The repentant in his left at his

left, and the children behind him.

Singing Hosanna Hosanna. That means save save.

You have saved. When we Accompany our Lord

riding on the cloud, but we will not be walking beside him.

We will also be riding on the clouds into Eternal Bliss,

Eternal Kingdom into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Plus also congregations here are arranged with the prayer of

hosanna. Their cry.

Signified about the victory, which they possessed by his

means over Satan and sin. And death twoot to 2023 years

ago, when Jesus was entering Jerusalem.

Little did they know that a are crying out Hosanna?

Because Jesus Christ will grant them the victory over Satan and

sin and death when we enter the Kingdom of Heaven as we proceed

at last or yesterday. As we took part in the

procession, our cry out for hosannas was don't because Jesus

entered into Jerusalem as a king, that's been fulfilled.

That's been confirmed. He is our King.

He is our Lord, our cries yesterday.

Were that? Lord, may we cry out the same.

Praise the same voice as you. Take us up into the same cloud

with you into Eternal Kingdom. And yes, beloved, we have

entered the Holy Week, the week of the passion of Our Lord, we

will grieve. We will have remorse.

We will sorrow commemorating. He's passion.

He suffering. Why, you know, we call it.

We call it good. Good Friday or we call it the

passion Friday, or do we call it the sorrow Friday?

Well, we can use all three terms.

It is good because Jesus died for us and we gained the victory

over Satan sin and death at the same time.

Beloved, let us not remain alone.

Us let us not forget that. He died because of my sin and

each time I sin each time. I disobey I have that bird.

And I am that Beast of Burden. I am that Beast carrying the

burden, but it is good because he has taken away the burden and

it is good to mourn with Jesus Christ because of my sin.

Not because of his victory. But on the day of the

Resurrection Sunday, April 9, we glorify actually during the

vigil Saturday evening. The custom was that the vigil

would be done outside of the church in the Homeland.

This is how they would celebrate the vigil or they would say, you

know, fulfill a complete, the visual they would be outside of

the church and there comes one specific part.

During the this vigil we Proclaim Give Peace one to

another in the love of Christ and the lights will be

illuminated and switched on. And we would enter the the

church, the house of the Lord. Praising and glorifying and

blessing and reminding, one, another encouraging one,

another, that Christ has risen and the reply would we indeed?

He has risen All this beloved, we do remember one, see, we

should remember every moment of our lives, but that one precious

time of year is because Jesus is resurrected and has promised us

that same Resurrection. So, I know yesterday, we pack

the churches and it, it's Sorrows me that people attend

Palm Sunday to receive a branch. Yes, it is blessed as a token of

a blessing, but All this that Jesus has done is is only valued

in a branch, which we burn the week after the Resurrection, the

new Sunday. So, you just come to church to

receive the branch. But don't come to church for

Easter to celebrate the resurrection and to give thanks

to Jesus Christ for his victory, over sin, Satan death and sin.

That that is not the proper way to celebrate the resurrection of

Our Lord balarama. David.

So looking forward to seeing all of you.

Those were at the mate Parish looking forward to seeing all

the pictures posted on Facebook. After the resurrection

celebrating this triumphant, this Victory beloved, it's ours.

It's for every mankind who is living on this Earth to have a

part of that Victory by means of Jesus Victory, to believe in him

to accept him as Lord. And Savior, Jesus Christ to be

baptized in his name, in the name of the father and of the

son and of the Holy Spirit. That we may all celebrate

together and the tradition for breaking fast.

Is this beloved not hair? Isa is that porridge Stephen who

he said Harry sipar each year. Not.

Hi. Lisa, you know, people say, oh,

I'm going to break my fast with the Harry said the ladies

committee. God bless the ladies committee

for their for their tireless efforts.

No, no, grab yourself an egg that is colored in red, which

symbolizes blood salvation, and the Egg the show, Well, is the

tomb when we break it, it means that Jesus has resurrected

because their yoke is life, and the white asari, the yellow is

life, the white, the yolk is the shroud of Jesus Christ, and when

you break it, and you break your fast, that is then completing

your celebration. I pray that the blessing of the

Holy blessed triumphant, Feast of the resurrection of our Lord

and our Savior. Jesus Christ will be bestowed

upon you. And your families.

I pray that this Easter, this resurrection that you were

moved, beloved that you are touched that you don't leave the

altar until the next until Christmastime know that you

attend that altar every Sunday and continue to celebrate this.

Resurrection of Our Lord May he's peace be upon the hearts of

those who do not know him. Make his peace change and touch.

Try and instill in the heart of those that do not hold.

No him the desire to return to our Lord and our Savior Jesus

Christ. Do not be reluctant to mention

to cry out to use the name of the Lord Jesus, regardless of,

if we're imprisoned for one year, or two years, no, no, I

will mention the name of my Lord and Savior.

Jesus Christ, at any time, the spirit moves me to do.

Bless you all and I pray that you enjoy your either, your
