Humility Before Victory
Matthew 21:1-11; Exodus 12:1-6
This Holy Week sermon appears to place humility at the threshold of victory. By linking Jesus' entry into Jerusalem with the Passover story, the message likely shows that God's saving work does not arrive through prideful display but through lowliness, obedience, and sacrificial purpose. The hope in the sermon is that true victory in the kingdom comes through the humble King. Those who follow him are invited to embrace the same posture and to trust that humility is not weakness but the path through which God's triumph is revealed. Choose the humility of Jesus over the need to appear strong, right, or impressive. Walk into your own challenges with surrendered trust, and let God define victory by obedience rather than by self-exaltation. Lord Jesus, teach us your humility. Lead us in the lowly path that reveals your victory, and make us willing to trust your way even when it looks different from the world's idea of strength.
