The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem

Jesus is Worthy of all our Worship

Read Matthew 21:1-11

Jesus had traveled many days with His disciples to get to Jerusalem. People from near and far were going to the city to celebrate the Passover Feast.

Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem happened only a few days before His death on the cross. Jesus was popular at this time with the people, and many believed He was the promised Messiah (the anointed one from God), and they worshipped Jesus as He entered the city.

Jesus knew He was going to Jerusalem.  He had it all planned out.  God has had a plan of salvation for us since the foundation of the world. Jesus is that plan of salvation.  Before man was created, God knew we would need a savior, and He had a plan to send us His Son to die in our place.

Jesus is triumphant over sin and death (Colossians 2:15).  He died on the cross, but rose again, alive, three days later! He took the consequences of our sin, blessing us with the gift of salvation and eternal life when we put our faith and trust in Him.
