The Triumphal Entry fulfills Old Testament Prophecy
- Zechariah 9:9
- Genesis 49:10-11
- Psalm 118:25-26
The crowd welcomes Jesus enthusiastically.
- They spread palm branches on the road v. 8
- Shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of LORD” v. 9
- Shouting, “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David” v. 10
Conclusion
Big Idea: Enthusiasm for Jesus does not equal commitment to Jesus
- The same people who shout “blessed he who comes in the name of the LORD,” will soon shout “crucify him.”
- Are we members of the crowd shouting Jesus praises, only to turn our backs when it becomes uncomfortable?
- Or are we committed followers of Jesus?
