Triumphal Entry
Triumphal Entry
Last week we saw the day before Jesus making His way into Jerusalem, He stopped and enjoyed some time with friends.
Today we look at the fulfilment of prophecy of Zechariah.
1 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 “Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’ ”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Step back and picture as we walk with Jesus into Jerusalem.
Can you imagine the excitement of the disciples?!
Today we look at the fulfilment of prophecy of Zechariah.
Jesus is the Messiah, He is making His entrance into Jerusalem and He will take control as King and will overthrow Rome.
They have waited so long, lets do this. Let’s get a horse, ride in with authority and take action.
But they got a shock. A donkey. A donkey?
Not only a donkey, but there was strict instructions on getting one.
1 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her.

6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
Luke
Luke 19:
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’ ”
30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here.
Why two donkeys?
Luke tells us in
Luke 19:30
30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here.
Jesus was to take a colt that had not yet been rode. Something pure!!
59 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.
Jesus needed pure, because He was pure. Anything is would have been unclean.
41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.
John
Yet being a young colt, it needed its mother to keep him calm when the crowd gets wild.
As they brought the colt to Jesus, something happened.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Matthew 21:7
As a King, Jesus came into His city, but not like a normal king.
Earthly kings rode with their steeds draped really flashy; Jesus sat on the garments of his admirers.
Earthly kings were praised by soldiers and noblemen; Jesus was acclaimed by children and peasants.
Earthly kings were recieved by show of swords and spears; Jesus was acclaimed with palm branches and old clothes.
Earthly kings rode on war horses; Jesus rode on a donkey.
Yet the people yelled praise after praise. Hosanna to the Son of David! Hosanna in the highest!!
Hosanna meant “save, rescue, savior.
The people, just as the disciples was waiting for Jesus to free them.
Which He did! Just not like they thought He would.
But like the world today, not everyone understands who this Jesus is.
10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Matthew 21:
Many still thought Jesus to be a prophet, a good person, one who would introduce the Messiah.
Who do you say Jesus is?
A prophet? A good person? One who healed and helped people?
Or is Jesus as states
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
I
“Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
- Lord of lords, King of kings.
- Resurrection and the Life.
- My Redeemer
Today can you say that Jesus is your Hosanna- Savior, Rescuer.
In five days, Jesus will take the cross and pay the sins of the world with His life. But oh next Sunday, He will rise from death and give life.
If you do not know this great Savior, please do not leave today without allowing us to share with you about the One that gives eternal life.
