Today is Palm Sunday. This is the day the Christian Church remembers the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem.
2.When I think of Palm Sunday, I think of two verses from Psalm 24…

Psalm 24:9-10, Lift up your heads, O gates, and lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory.

3. But five days later, Jesus was crucified.
4. What happened? How could Jesus be warmly received one moment and crucified less than a week later?
5. Tonight, we’re going to take a break from our study of Matthew’s Gospel to look at the account of the Triumphal Entry from the perspective of Dr. Luke.
6. In Luke 19:28-44, we will discover why the Jews did not recognize the time of their visitation and learn some valuable lessons so that we may let The King of Glory into our lives.

1. What was the “climate” like in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus’ Triumphal Entry? In a word, “hostile”!
2. After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, we’re told that while some Jews believed in Him, others didn’t and went to the Pharisees to tell them what Jesus had done.
3. Did the chief priests and Pharisees rejoice at the news? Were they ready to recognize Jesus as their long-awaited and hoped for Messiah? Not at all…

John 11:47-48, 57, Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and were saying, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs. If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.

4. They were so hostile towards Jesus they even talked about killing Lazarus “because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus” (John 12:11).
5. For a season, until the appointed time, Jesus no longer “walked publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the country near the wilderness… and there He stayed with the disciples” (John 11:54).
6. But when we come to Luke 19, it’s time for the Passover.
7. Jesus went on ahead of His disciples and ascended to Jerusalem because it was the appointed time! (28)

Throughout His ministry, there were many signs which confirmed Jesus is the Messiah.
• Now it was the appointed time to present more prophetic signs which further confirmed He is Messiah. The signs also revealed the character of Jesus, the King of Glory.
• Though Luke did not quote Zechariah 9:9, Matthew and John did, directly linking the manner in which Jesus entered Jerusalem to Zechariah’s prophecy. It was a sign the Jews “should” have recognized!

Zechariah 9:9, Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, humble, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

From Zechariah 9, the Bible once again makes it clear that we do not pursue God, God pursues us!

I. Behold Your King is Coming to You (29-35)

A. He is just and endowed with salvation
1. How was Jesus “just” or “righteous”?
2. Jesus perfectly represented a holy God to fallen humanity through His life and ministry!

Hebrews 1:3, And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature

John 14:9, He who has seen Me has seen the Father

3. Jesus was righteous in word and deed. He overcame every temptation leveled against Him by Satan and was victorious!
Hebrews 4:15, For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.

4. So, Jesus was righteous and just, a confirmation that He was qualified to be Israel’s Messiah, their King.
5. How was Jesus endowed with salvation? What kind of salvation was He offering?
