Palm Sunday | The Arrival Of The King
Shared on: Mar 12, 2018
Our humble Savior-King set his face for Jerusalem. He knew what it would cost him to follow his Father's will, yet he willingly and deliberately stayed the course so that you and I can have eternal life. They expected him to come riding upon a golden chariot, yet he came lowly upon a donkey's colt. They expected him to forcefully overthrow the oppressive government, yet he humbly carried his cross. Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem teaches us many things about the heart and character of our gracious God. May this collection of resources, taken from all four gospel accounts, strengthen your own preparation as you lead God's people through the Easter season this year.
