Palm Sunday April 1st
Triumphal entry- Matthew 21:1-11
Jesus is greeted as a prophet and king as he enters Jerusalem just a few days before he will be executed, by the same crowd as a common criminal. this crowd recognizes that he is from God but if we look at verse 11 we see that they just think he is a prophet. It is not enough to view Jesus as a prophet, he must be viewed as the son of God and the savior of the world.
It is believed that they were celebrating Jesus entry into Jerusalem because they believe at this time Jesus would become their political savior. Thankfully Jesus did much more than become their political savior.
Jesus came riding in on a donkey rather than a horse. He came in riding humbling not prepared for battle or war. Jesus will come again, and that time he will be riding on a horse, ready to judge the nations.
