KEY VERSE

            Matthew 21:9

   The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, 

     “Hosanna to the Son of David; 

     BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; 

     Hosanna in the highest!”

OUTLINE

I. Zechariah wrote about Palm Sunday 600 years before it actually happened! (Zechariah 9:9)

II. The words the crowds praised Jesus on Palm Sunday with were written in the Psalms, 350 B.C. [Before Christ] (Psalms 118:24-26)

III. Jesus came to Jerusalem for the very specific reason of entering the city to fulfill prophecy, from a King to a crucified criminal, to save anyone who would believe in Him. (Matthew 21:1-11)

IV. Then lastly, that good ol’ boy Matthew, a converted tax collector, who was hated by his own people, and became an apostle of Jesus Christ, and who 1,971 years earlier wrote down the events of that day for you and me. For you and me to understand what happened the week when the whole world experienced a reality shift from the law to mercy and grace. (Matthew 21:1-11)

Now, I dare you, no, I triple dog dare you (as the boys said in the movie A Christmas Story) to tell me that God doesn’t have a plan for each of you and all of humanity…

Love Y’all, Cary
