Welcome

Prelude

Opening of the Word

Call to WorshipAll nations whom You have made shall come and worship before

You, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.

Opening Hymn“Draw Nigh to Thy Jerusalem”

Reading from the WordZechariah 9: 9-10 John 12:12-19

Readings from the Heavenly Doctrines

Apocalypse Revealed 367

Clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands, signifies

communication and conjunction with the higher heavens, and confession

from Divine truths. "To be clothed with white robes," signifies to have

communication and conjunction with the heavens.” "To hold palms in

their hands" signifies confession from Divine truth because "palms" sig-

nify Divine truths; for every tree signifies something of the church, and

"palms" signify the Divine truth in ultimates, which is the Divine truth of

the sense of the letter of the Word; for this reason:

On all the walls of the temple of Jerusalem, within and without,

and also upon the doors, were carved cherubim and palms (1 Kings 6:29,32). The same in the new temple, mentioned in Ezekiel 41:18-20. By

"cherubim" is signified the Word, and by "palms" Divine truths therein.

That by "palms" are signified the Divine truths of the Word, and by

"palms in their hands" confessions from them, may appear from its being

commanded that:

At the feast of tabernacles they should take fruits of the tree of

honor, and leaves of palms, and should be glad before Jehovah (Lev. 23:39

-40). When Jesus went to Jerusalem to the feast, they took branches of

palms, and went to meet Him, crying, Blessed is He that cometh in the

name of the Lord (John 12:12-13). By which was signified confession

from Divine truths concerning the Lord.

Congregational and Pastoral Prayer



The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy King-

dom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day

our daily bread. And forgive our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.

Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For Thine is the

Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever. Amen.

Hymn: “From Bethany, the Master Comes”

Sermon

And the World did not know Him

Musical Interlude

Offering

DoxologyTo Jesus Christ be glory given

By all on Earth and all in Heaven.Let His dominion wide extend.

His glorious Kingdom have no end.

Affirmation of FaithWe worship the One God, the Lord the Savior Jesus Christ; in

whom is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; whose humanity is divine.

He came into the world and took our nature upon him. He endured tempta-

tion, even to the Passion of the Cross. He overcame the hells, and so deliv-

ered all. Without this, no mortal could have been saved; and they are savedwho believe in Him, and keep the commandments of His Word. This is His

commandment; that we love one another, as he has loved us.
