Matthew : Season 9 - The Humble King Who Comes From The East - Week 1

Sermon Description:

In the Book of Matthew, the scene of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem is a pivotal moment. This moment, traditionally celebrated the week before Easter on Palm Sunday, is sometimes called “the triumphal entry.” This moment is leading to the central moment in human history, Jesus’ death and resurrection. But this opening scene is one of victory and kingship…is not really that “triumphal.” In fact, it’s anything but. The humility that Jesus shows as he enters Jerusalem, (and throughout the Gospel stories) is shocking. And what’s more, Jesus instructs his followers to embody this same shocking humility.
