Today is Palm Sunday. Today we will look at Jesus’ entry on a donkey that preceded His death on the cross. Matthew 21:1 – 27:56; Mark 11:1 – 14:52; Luke 19:28- 22:53; John 12:12-18:11 This week before His crucifixion is referred to as the “Passion” week. What did your Messiah do and say? How did your Messiah act? Who did your Messiah surround Himself with? I say, “your” Messiah on purpose because I don’t want the weight of this moment to be brushed aside. I don’t want the generality of “our” Messiah, to be mistaken that He did something for others and not for “you” specifically! Jesus knew the cost of doing what we are going read today and where that would lead… And He still did it… And He did it for “you”! We are going to read today from the 4 Gospels. Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; There are similar recordings but there are also additional details given in others. This does not discredit the accounts given, but it adds a fuller picture of what is taking place. Jesus who has walked everywhere, decides to enter back into Jerusalem in the manner that fulfills the prophecy given by Zechariah. Zechariah 9:9 He is riding into the final battle scene of His life in much the same fashion as He came into this world… devoid of any possessions, with the exception of what He was wearing. This was a march of death that He did for our sakes! Jesus entered life in humbleness and now we see Him march into death in humbleness. Luke 19:28-44 Jesus is telling the religious leaders that something monumental is taking place! If they don’t praise Me for what is taking place, the very stones of the earth would shout for the coming Messiah. John 12:12 – 19 How fitting that God so loved the world that He sent His one and Only Son and that in this statement the Pharisees confirmed that the mission had been accomplished? When Jesus mounted up on that colt, He mounted Himself on that cross for you and for me!
