PALM SUNDAY • ”The King Arrives!” • Barry Bandara

• This Week: This “triumphant” arrival to Jerusalem brought Jesus to tears. These were tears of sorrow because the people had completely missed His purpose for coming; not as a political messiah, but a spiritual one. Jesus prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem which would be the end of temple and their entire sacrificial system of Judaism. Daniel prophesied the arrival of the Messiah prior to the destruction of the temple which would happen in 70 AD. Sadly, most Jews missed their Messiah who was already here.

 

Key Phrase: “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” Luke 19:38
