Mark 11:1-11 The Coming Of The King

Sunday, we will study the triumphant entry in Mark 11:1-11. As we study this very familiar passage, we find a host of prophecies fulfilled as Jesus intentionally and publicly declares Himself Messiah and King. Jesus is surrounded by throngs of people praising and proclaiming Him as the Messiah as they cry out, quoting Psalm 118, but just like the disciples, the crowd does not understand that Jesus came as the King who gives His life as a ransom for many. Sunday, our outline is pretty simple but still relates the profound truth that though the people shouting do not receive Jesus as the kind of Messiah he came to be, He declares Himself King by riding a donkey’s colt into Jerusalem knowing that this will lead to His crucifixion, because even the fickle crowd and the perpetually oblivious disciples cannot be saved unless He goes to the cross…and neither could we.
