Choral Reading

Leader:         As the time approached for Him to be taken up to heaven,
Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. As He went along,
people spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

When He came near the place where the road goes down
the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:

Everyone: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Leader:         The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed
shouted:

Everyone: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in
the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

Hosanna to the Son of David
1. Hosanna to the Son of David! Hosanna to God’s mighty One!
Hosanna, wave your palms as banners,

in Him the vict’ry shall be won.

Refrain: Hosanna! Hosanna! The Messiah comes this way.

Hosanna! Hosanna! His kingdom comes today.
1. Hosanna to the King of Israel! He comes to set His people free.
Hosanna to the royal Savior, the bearer of our destiny. (Refrain)
1. Like David, He rides on a donkey, recalling the anointed King.
The crowds spread garments down before Him,

with shouts of joy His praises sing! (Refrain)
1. Lord Jesus you did cleanse the Temple.
Lord cleanse our hearts and minds this day.

Then fill us with your Holy Spirit,

your kingdom build in us we pray. (Refrain)

Sermon Hymn:

Lamb of God

Your only son, no sin to hide,

But You have sent Him from Your side

To walk upon this guilty sod,

And to become the Lamb of God.

Refrain: O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God;

I love the holy Lamb of God.

O wash me in His precious blood.

My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Your gift of love they crucified,

They laughed and scorned Him as He died;

The humble King they named a fraud,

And sacrificed the Lamb of God.

Repeat Refrain

I was so lost I should have died,

But You have brought me to Your side

To be led by Your staff and rod,

And to be called a lamb of God.

O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God;

I love the holy Lamb of God.

O wash me in His precious blood

Till I am just a lamb of God.

Worthy Is The Lamb

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain;

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive

Power and riches and wisdom and strength,

Honor and glory and blessing!

Worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb,

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Worthy is the Lamb!

by Don Wyrtzen © Singspiration ARR CCLI #172212

Behold the Lamb

Behold the Lamb, behold the Lamb,

Slain from the foundation of the world.

For sinners crucified, O holy sacrifice,

Behold the Lamb of God, behold the Lamb.

Crown Him, crown Him, Worthy is the Lamb.

Praise Him, praise Him, Heaven and Earth resound.

Behold the Lamb, behold the lamb,

Slain from the foundation of the world.

For sinners crucified, O holy sacrifice,

Behold the Lamb of God, behold the Lamb.

Choral Reading of The Passion and Death of Jesus

According to Matthew 26:14--27:66

Congregation’s Part (Later in the Narrative)

Pilate:        “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?”

Narrator:        And they said,

Crowd:      “Barabbas.”

Narrator:       Pilate said to them,

Pilate:        “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”

Narrator:        They all said,

Crowd:      “Let him be crucified.”

Narrator:        And he said,

Pilate:       “Why, what evil has he done?”

Narrator:        But they shouted all the more,

Crowd:      “Let him be crucified.”

Narrator:        So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying,

Pilate:        “I am innocent of this righteous man’s blood; see to it yourselves.”

Narrator:        And all the people answered,

Crowd:      “His blood be on us and on our children!”

…

Narrator: And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus the King of the Jews.” Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying,

Crowd:      “You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”

Communion

Prayer of Contrition

Sharing of the Elements

We invite to the Lord’s Table all those who are baptized disciples of Jesus Christ and are under the authority of Christ and His body, the Church. By eating the bread and drinking the wine with us as a visitor, you are acknowledging to the elders of this local church that you are in covenant with God and an active member of a congregation in which the gospel is faithfully confessed, taught, and believed. You also acknowledge that you are a sinner, without hope except in the sovereign mercy of God, and that you are trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. If you have any doubt about your participation, please speak to the elders before or after the service.
