4-14-19 Palm Sunday - Matthew 21v1-17

Response of Praise (vs8-9)

There were crowds in Jerusalem because it was the time of Passover.

They recognized Jesus as King from the line of David.

In saying Hosanna, they were acknowledging that Jesus is Savior.

Their response to these realities was to whole-heartedly praise Him.

Response of Rejection (vs15-16)

While, some praised, others were not happy with the turn of events.

These believed that the praise of Jesus was morally wrong and should

be stopped.

They viewed Jesus as an enemy.

As a result, these people opposed Him, questioned Him, and conspired

to kill Him.

What’s Your Response?

Jesus makes it clear that those who praised Him had the right idea.

There is no middle ground when it comes to responding to Jesus.

Your either decide to put Him off completely or receive Him as your King

and Savior.
