Matthew 21:1-11 or John 12:12-19

The Triumphal Entry

The Matthew account was the reading for where 

I worshipped this past Sunday.

This fulfills the Old Testament prophecy

 that the King comes riding on a young donkey.

Hosanna- Pray, Save Us in Hebrew.

Crowds of people were swarming the city of Jerusalem,

ablaze with the news of the alive again- Lazarus.

A storm was brewing.

Tensions were mounting with the Pharisees.

The people took out palm branches and sang,

"Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in

 the name of the Lord, even the king of Israel!"

And the Pharisees stewed in the middle of it-

"You see that you are gaining nothing. 

Look, the work has gone after him."

"The whole city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?

And the crowds said, This is the prophet Jesus, 

from Nazareth of Galilee."

That became the question-  WHO IS THIS?

This Sunday is known as Palm Sunday, 

the Sunday before the crucifixion- 

the beginning of Holy Week. 

This story of the triumphal entry is one 

of the few times in the life of Jesus 

which appears in all four Gospel accounts.

It is the beginning of the Passion- 

the story of the suffering and death

 of Jesus. 

It is part of the greater story 

of His Resurrection.
