What Can We Learn from Palm Sunday?

Jesus often did things to fulfill the OT prophecies concerning Himself

He knew the Old Testament

He was committed to doing His Father’s will, even if it meant going to the cross

We should familiarize ourselves with the Bible and be committed to doing God’s will, even when it is uncomfortable.

Entering Jerusalem

People knew Jesus was coming, so they attended the feast that day.

Perhaps they thought Lazarus would be with Him.

Perhaps they thought He would do a miracle

Perhaps they thought He would set up His Kingdom and overthrow the Romans.

An Unusual King

The Jews expected a military king, a political king like David who would set up Israel as a world power again.

The people expected a strong leader who would triumph over his and their enemies

But this King

Came riding on a donkey not a stallion.

Had followers who were everyday people.

They were not of religious, political or

monetary powers.
