Don’t Miss Him: The Unexpected King on Palm Sunday | The CLC Commute

In this special Palm Sunday episode of the CLC Commute, Pastor Steve joins the conversation to reflect on Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem from Matthew 21, exploring how the crowds—and even the most Scripture-savvy religious leaders—missed who Jesus truly was because they expected a political revolutionary like King David rather than the humble Lamb of God who came to transform hearts. They unpack the deep symbolism of the palm branches (echoing both Maccabean hopes and future heavenly worship) and how Passover timing positioned Jesus as the perfect, spotless Lamb whose one-time sacrifice fulfills the entire system, eliminating the need for repeated offerings. The discussion also highlights the often-overlooked “Silent Saturday,” the power of the Lord’s Table during Holy Week, and an invitation for anyone feeling unworthy to not miss Jesus—He still welcomes all to the table, offering grace, forgiveness, and new life through His finished work.Sermon Study Guide: https://page.church.tech/cc56e5d7Cathedral Life Magazine: https://clcnwa.com/cathedral-life-online/
