Palm Sunday Story: Jesus went from 'hailed' to 'jailed'
Jesus came to Set the Captive Free:
In Luke 4 Jesus quotes Isaiah 61 "He has sent me to proclaime liberty to the captives"
The doctrine of substitution comes into play. He was beaten for our healing. He took on sin that we might be clean. Jesus was imprisoned that we might go free.
Jesus literally took our place in prison!

Jesus Teaches from Prison:
The Prisoner Perspective:
Ashamed - Lonely - Afraid - Depressed - Hopeless
We all were prisoners:
* Of pride - of greed - of lust - of unforgiveness - of a religious spirit - of complacency - of SIN
* Salvation is when we allow Jesus to take our place...we get to go free when we access His substitutionary incarceration, His death, and His resurrection.
Jesus Teaches: You must remain 'outward focused' or die.
Every ministry is a 'prison ministry.'

He is the only One who can turn mourning into dancing - give beauty for ashes - turn shame into glory!
