Read Luke 2:41

Jesus Presented in the

Temple in JerusalemSlide5

Jesus in the Temple in Jerusalem

when He was 12 years oldSlide6

Jesus had been to Jerusalem numerous since young and during His ministry.

But

His ‘triumphal entry’ into Jerusalem is truly a significant event that the even

the church

today celebrates as Palm Sunday.Slide7

Jesus’ Triumphal Entry!Slide8

1. His Entrance ProphesiedSlide9

His visit to Jerusalem was not an accident

but

rather within God’s salvation plan

.

Zechariah 9:9

9

Rejoice

greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in

triumph

, O daughter of Jerusalem!

Behold

, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, humble, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.Slide10

This prophecy clearly specifies the location of the king’s

appearance

& transport.Slide11

His entrance will be celebrated

with

‘shouts of triumph’ by people of Jerusalem

.

 Slide12

2. His Glorious EntranceSlide13

However this entrance into Jerusalem is unique in comparison to all

His

previous visits.Slide14
Slide15

Because the Jews had

earlier

wanted to stone Him to

kill Him

.

John 8:59

59

Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus 

hid

Himself and went out of the temple.

John 10:31

31 

The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him

.Slide16

Will I Go?Slide17

Even His disciples were fearing the danger of returning to Jerusalem and they were very

sure that

their lives were in danger.

John 11:8

8

The disciples

said

to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?”Slide18

However Jesus continue to make the necessary

preparations

for this visit to Jerusalem.Slide19

The Sequence (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark

11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44 

& John 12:12-19):

I

.

Jesus sends His disciples to go and bring a donkey and its colt.

II

.

The disciples and people lay their cloaks &

palm branches.

III

.

Jesus sits on it and rides down Mount Olives into Jerusalem

IV

.

They shouted in jubilation (

Psalm 118:25-26

) welcoming their

‘Messiah’

V

.

Jesus enters Jerusalem and visits the temple area

.Slide20
Slide21

However this type of procession symbolizes their welcome

of

a victorious king as seen in the example of King Jehu

(Read

2

Kings 9:13

).Slide22

The people who welcomed Him with singing and praise were hyped

up because:

1. His resurrection of

Lazarus

2. Expectation

of

messiah who will

set

them free

from

the

Roman

rule.

3. He has been vocal

against the ruling Jews.Slide23

The Suffering MessiahSlide24

3. His Entrance for UsSlide25

Jesus goes into Jerusalem as planned by God despite the threat to His life as He was focused on fulfilling the will of the Father to die on the cross for us.Slide26

Matthew 16:2121 

From that time Jesus began to show His disciples

that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be

killed

, and be raised up on the third day

.

 Slide27

Jesus was very well aware and clear with

the final fate that awaited Him

in Jerusalem as He had taught His disciples.

But

He was not thinking twice about the

danger

to avoiding the trip to Jerusalem

.Slide28

He made the ‘triumphant’ journey knowing that

the trip was for our salvation

.Slide29
Slide30

His triumphant journey to Jerusalem was God’s plan and Jesus fulfilled this plan

.
