Behold, Your King is Coming

3/24/13 Today is Palm Sunday, which marks the day Jesus came into Jerusalem riding on a donkey, with crowds cheering and waving palm branches before him. Jesus’ coming into Jerusalem that day speaks several important truths to us today. Jesus’ coming is polarizing.  As in any crowd, there were a variety of people present that day, and they didn’t all have the same response to Jesus. Jesus’ presence however, all evokes a response, whether positive or negative, but there is no staying neutral. Jesus’ coming points to the future, or what might be called His triumphal re-entry.  His first coming fulfilled prophecy, and there are eight times as many prophecies concerning His return.  Jesus is coming again, and His coming requires preparation. Let’s be sure we are prepared.
