We all want to live happy lives. We all want to have peace, joy and calm in our existences. All of us long for pain free, pressure free, problem free lives. 

The truth is our world has changed. Its taken a big leap towards dystopian, darkness. We are living in troubling, perilous times, these are times that we have been warned about. The last days, the final chapters of humanity that are being written before the second coming of the Lord Jesus. 

For the next few weeks I want to focus on the second most important designation in the life of anyone. Second only to your status as a saved person is your marriage. Who you marry is so important and what your marriage is or becomes is extremely important. Moreover, we should all understand that God is interested in our marriage.

Origins of marriage come from God. It was His plan, His idea and this is why the world so hates the institution of marriage. There is a systematic, coordinated assault on marriage because the very idea is directly linked to God Himself. 

Resurrection changed not only redemptive history for all time and eternity but it changed all of history. The resurrection of Jesus radically imploded a blood sacrifice economy that was made instantaneously irrelevant the moment Jesus walked out of the grave unassisted. 

Without the resurrection we have no gospel, no good news. Without the gospel we have no salvation, without salvation we would be hopelessly lost! The resurrection is the single most important moment, ever. The most important moment was about the most important person, Jesus Christ! 

There has been one coronation that tops all others. The most consequential coronation ever held because there has only ever been one actual coronation of The Supreme Monarch, the supreme King, as a matter of fact Scriptures refer to our Lord as the King of Kings! There is no other King like Him, no other individual or ruler can compare, and yes, even Jesus had a coronation ceremony. The Lord Jesus Christ!

Let’s really set the scene here:

As Jesus entered the holy city, He neared the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha. Realize that everything about His coronation was pointing to His soon coming death.
Palm Sunday really began with Jesus and His disciples traveling over the Mount of Olives. The Lord sent two disciples ahead into the village of Bethphage to find an animal to ride. They found the unbroken colt of a donkey, just as Jesus had said they would.

Luke 19:10
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

This week I want us to get even more personal and be honest about ourselves and what we believe, and really define our perspectives about life even as a believer. There are a lot of saved people who live their life beneath a barrier of broken expectations and truly have a misguided understanding of what life is supposed to be while here on this earth.

If our perspective if off, it can make us unstable. If our understanding isn’t correct our expectations will be unrealistic. The life of a believer is to be that of a level headed, well rounded, mature, spiritual being who takes everything in life and processes the data, the information before them, even the tough stuff, and comes to the conclusion that God is perfect, He is just, He is righteous and that He does all things well! 

The battle, yet again, is human emotion. The one entity, the one corporation that keep me from being a level headed, well rounded, mature, spiritual being is me. My feelings, my emotions, how I see it.  Understand today that I am my biggest problem when it comes to either looking to truth or believing lies about life and perspective.
