Lesson Title: Triumphal Entry: Jesus Enters Jerusalem

Scripture: Mark 11

Wonder Truth: Jesus is King

------

Foundational Building Block

Who: Jesus was a descendent of King David, and the Jews knew the Messiah would come from David’s line. Jesus entered Jerusalem as king. Israel’s hopes were in Him to be the fulfillment of God’s promise to bring a shoot from the stump of Jesse (Isaiah 11:1).

What: The people shouted, “Hosanna,” which is a Hebrew exclamation meaning roughly “save us now!” They spread cloaks and palm branches in front of Him as a sign of royal welcome for a deliverer: not even His animal’s hooves would need to touch the dirt.

Where: Jesus was near Jerusalem by the Mount of Olives, which is just east of the city. From this spot, the temple would be visible. The people joyfully welcomed a king to His kingdom, inviting Him to take His throne in the city of David.

When: Jesus knew that danger was drawing near. Although the common people didn’t understand, the kingship of Jesus would be realized through His sacrifice on the cross. Their ultimate rescue would come from Jesus’ willingness to give His own life.

Connecting to God’s Big Story: God promised David that his descendant would rule as king forever (2 Samuel 7:16). God kept this promise by making Jesus King forever and ever, a reign without end (Daniel 7:14). In Christ’s kingdom, the merciful—not the conquerors—are blessed (Matthew 5:7).

GOD’S BIG STORY
Jesus rides a donkey into Jerusalem as people praise Him by shouting, “Hosanna!” Jesus doesn't look like a normal king, but He saves those who call to Him. He saves them from the powers of sin and death.
WORD OF WONDER
He saved us. It wasn’t because of the good things we had done. It was because of his mercy. He saved us by washing away our sins. We were born again. The Holy Spirit gave us new life.
Titus 3:5 (NIrV)
