The Triumphal Entry”;

Jesus’ triumphal entry was a loud celebration of Jesus as Messiah. For all of Jesus’ ministry He had avoided proclaiming He was the Messiah because the Jewish people wanted a temporal Messiah to overthrow the Romans and provide healing and food for them (). Now He openly received their adoration knowing full well the outcome. The crowd of hundreds of thousands recited but they did know the full meaning of the Psalm.

C. Today is the day of salvation because the gates of heaven are opened soon to be shut eternally –

2. Jesus Christ is the only person upon which you can build anything lasting –

III. Worship the Sacrifice Lamb –

A. Triumphal Entry leads to Good Friday –

2. Yet Jesus intercedes for us –

In Christ, God’s mercy endures forever and so should His praises – , ,

Worthy is the Lamb!
