Palm Sunday

Today we celebrate Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter. Christians around the world recognize Palm Sunday as the day Jesus made His triumphal entry into the city of Jerusalem. On this day, prophecy was fulfilled; the prophet Zechariah had recorded this event some 400 years earlier (Zech 9:9). The Lord orchestrated the events of His ministry in Jerusalem in detail. As the sovereign King, He left nothing to chance but prepared each detail so as to culminate His ministry with majestic fulfillment of the OT prophecies. Matthew 21 begins the final week of the life of Jesus Christ.
