Jesus Enters Jerusalem On Palm Sunday | Passion Part 1

For 5 weeks in our Passion Series, we are going to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ during the last week of his life. This week begins with Palm Sunday and is referred to as Holy Week. Jesus ultimately dies on Good Friday and rises from the dead 3 days later on Easter. But, before we can celebrate Easter, we will experience Jesus’ “Passion,” which is His suffering born out of love for us. You can journey along with us in the Gospel of Mark, which covers the last 8 days of Jesus’ life in its final 6 chapters. In this message, we start with what happened on Palm Sunday - the first day of the final week. This is when Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. It’s important to know that Jesus knew exactly what was going to happen to him this week. Three times, he told his disciples that he was going to Jerusalem to suffer and die. But, what ends in a crucifixion begins as a coronation of a king - King Jesus! When Jesus entered Jerusalem, he rode into the city on a donkey and people spread palm branches on the road which they had cut in the fields (why we call this day Palm Sunday). They were celebrating His arrival. But, the Pharisees (religious leaders) were threatened by Jesus and so this is when they begin to come up with a plan to falsely accuse Jesus and secretly arrest him and ultimately have him sentenced to death. It’s important for Christ followers to understand the journey of Jesus and the suffering He endured for us… so together let's learn about the week that changed the world. Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and learn about Holy Week, the most sacred 7 days in Christianity. #Passion #PalmSunday #HolyWeek #GospelofMark #Jesus #Christianity #ChristianChurch #LiquidChurch
