Date: March 29, 2026

This sermon examines Matthew 21, focusing on the significance of Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem as a key moment in the Gospel narrative. Highlighting the intentional fulfillment of prophecy, the discussion emphasizes Jesus's identity as the Messiah and son of David amidst the chaotic backdrop of Passover. The sermon explores how His choice to ride a donkey signifies His humble kingship, contrasting the crowd’s joyous yet superficial understanding of His role as a political redeemer. By analyzing the implications of the crowd’s reaction and the deeper meanings of Jesus's mission, the message invites reflection on our recognition of Him as the true King who offers peace and salvation. It concludes with a call to acknowledge His identity and anticipate His ultimate return in glory, urging a life of worship and service in response to His love.
