    A fresh look at the facts of Palm Sunday. The response of the crowds, and our present day response to the Lord’s kingship.

    BEHOLD YOUR KING Matthew 21:1-17 Here we have a remarkable scene; the Lord Jesus is on His way to die on Calvary, just as He has recently made known to His disciples, (although it appears that they either did not understand what He said, or they did not want to believe it).

This is an ongoing battle that will ultimately lead to Jesus’ crucifixion and he knows it well, but does not show any signs of shrinking back. Jesus’ very presence should command respect, ...read more
