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?

Hosanna!

Hosanna!
