Palm Sunday
Luke 19:29-40 NIV 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’” 32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.” 35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. 37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” 40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

The triumphal entry is that of Jesus coming into Jerusalem on what we know as Palm Sunday, the Sunday before the crucifixion.

  1. Jesus would fulfill Prophecy. 450 Year Before Jesus.

Zechariah 9:9 NIV 9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey

  1. Jesus was announcing he was indeed The Messiah

  2. People went wild for Jesus, Luke 19:36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. 37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:

Psalm 118:26 NIV 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord, we bless you. (They were sure their liberation was at hand)

Hosanna: please, save The Greek word “Hosanna” means "please, save" which was what Jesus was preparing to do in the days ahead.

. Passover Meal : a Lamb Unleavened Bread and Wine. • Jesus The Lamb: John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! • Jesus The Christ/Messiah: Matthew 16:15-16 NLV 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

• Jesus The Kings: Revelation 17:14 NIV 14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”

  1. The Temple.
    Matthew 21:12-13 12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’

1 Corinthians 3:16KJV 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

  1. The Tradition. Mark 7:13NIV 13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

Matthew 15:8-9 NIV 8 “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’

  1. The Table. Passover No Lamb until later times. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 NIV 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

• At the Last Supper with Jesus, they didn’t Serve lamb. • Jesus was the Lamb serving at the Last Supper. 4. The Trial. The same people just hours before was CRYING Hosanna Blessed is he who comes in the name of The Lord. Now CRIED OUTLOUD Crucify Him. This Change of Heart happened SO FAST.

Isaiah 53:7 New International Version 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
