John

What's the big deal about Palm Sunday?
Early on in Jesus's ministry, after performing a healing Jesus would often admonish those around Him not to tell anyone about the miracle. And when the masses wanted to make Him the King after He miraculously fed the thousands, Jesus went away by Himself because it was not yet His time. Then at the end of His ministry, Jesus would enter Jerusalem before the Passover riding on a donkey as the crowds around proclaimed "Blessed is the King of Israel!" So why was this day different from all the times before?
This week we will look at John 12 and study this triumphal entry of Christ Jesus into Jerusalem at the start of the Passover festival. We'll look at the significance of this day on God's prophetic calendar as well as the reason why Jesus would weep and wail as the crowds around rejoiced at the coming of their Messiah. Join us as we look at the beginning of what has become known today as Holy Week and the path that would lead to cross and the empty tomb.
