  2. So near you can taste it

  3. The Triumphal Entry • After 33 years of waiting to arrive at the final destination of His physical existence, Jesus approaches His Mt Everest • The most difficult battle of will is upon Him • Being spit upon, whipped, beaten, mocked, and allowing His flesh to be destroyed was all ahead of Him • He went forward, approaching the greatest battle, and greatest victory of His physical life

  4. If the only thing you ever pick is a small fight, the most you’ll ever win is a small battle. Great victories require great battles

  5. How big was the battle? • He had to endure beating, spitting, abuse, blood, pain, thorns, whips, ignorant guards, fleeing and denying “friends”, torture, embarrassment, etc • At His Word, the very one the created all things, He could have ended it, but He restrained Himself

  6. How big was the victory? • 1 Cor 15:54-58 • 1 John 5:6-13 • Rom 5:6-21

  7. What about your battles, and what about your awaiting victories?

  8. So close you can taste it • Your victory, over whatever hurts, holds back, binds, strains, frustrates….. • Has been paid for in His blood • It may cost you enduring, restraining, self control, self denial, determination, and tenacity • But it has been paid for

  9. How do we do it? • Jesus declared to His disciples what He was about to do • He prayed up – intense prayer to the point the drops of sweat becoming like blood – Matt 26:39-45 & Luke 22:41-45 • He patiently endured, quietly, looking to His Father for the strength
