Just Another King

Matthew 21:5-9 (ESV) -“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”Who do you say Jesus is?All throughout the Old Testament, Israel had kings—some good, many not. So is Jesus just another one? What sets Him apart from all the rest? And why was it so hard for the people of His day to recognize Him as the true, ultimate King?This Palm Sunday, we’ll be unpacking those very questions. As you prepare your heart, ask the Lord to reveal Himself to you as King. And pray that He would lead all of us to walk the same path He walked—the path of humility.In Christ,Blake Cox
