Behold your humble King (John 12:12-19)

Sunday message from 13 April 2025 on John 12:12-19In this sermon, you’ll hear of the crowds standing on the Mount of Olives, watching Jesus ride into Jerusalem—not on a warhorse, but on a donkey. You’ll feel the tension between the crowd’s excitement and their confusion—shouting “Hosanna!” (meaning, "Save us!") while expecting a political savior. And yet, Jesus enters not to claim earthly power, but to fulfill prophecy and lay down His life—for you. This moment isn’t just about palm branches and celebration; it’s about a Savior who comes in humility to bring true peace. Jesus’ mission was never centred on temporary liberation, but eternal redemption. His journey to the cross is for you—to forgive your sins, clothe you in His righteousness, and give you a new identity. You’ll be encouraged to see the deep love of a Savior who knows your spiritual struggles, bears them Himself, and grants you grace. During Holy Week, you’ll learn to follow not just the crowd, but Christ—whose greater purpose was always you.Michael HartmanStay connected with our church:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discover Hidden Gems on YouTube
