Palm Sunday - A Triumphal Entry

Palm Sunday - A Triumphal Entry

Paul Trulock - 3/24/2024

Key Passage: Matthew 21:1-11

No longer hiding the fact that He is the messiah

  • Matthew 21:3

The King had arrived

  • Prophecy fulfilled

    • Matt 21:5

  • Hosanna, save us, son of David

    • Matt 21:9

Who is this?

  • They missed who Jesus truly was.

    • Matthew 21:10

  • They expected a different kind of King/Savior/Messiah.

    • They wanted to submit to a King, but not this kind of King.

What’s your triumphal entry experience?

  • Where you cry out “Hosanna, save me”, but Jesus responds differently than expected?

  • where your spiritual high doesn’t connect to who Jesus really is?

  • Where you find yourself asking, “where are you Jesus?”

Where is your devotion?

  • Crucified with Christ

    • Galatians 2:20

      • I no longer live but Christ lives in me.

Do you see Him?

  • You may not know where you’re being led, but do you know the one who leads you?

Has Jesus made a triumphal entry into your heart? Have you submitted to His reign?
