Palm Sunday - 3/29/2026

In Mark 11, Jesus enters Jerusalem not merely as a humble teacher, but as the rightful King. The crowds shout “Hosanna!” as He rides into the city, fulfilling prophecy and announcing that the long-awaited King has arrived. Yet instead of heading to a throne, Jesus goes to the temple — His house — to observe what His kingdom has become.The next day, He returns and cleanses the temple, confronting empty religion that had the appearance of life but lacked true devotion. Like the fruitless fig tree, the people looked outwardly faithful but bore no fruit.Palm Sunday reminds us that Jesus still comes to inspect His kingdom. He is not only Savior — He is King. And His desire is that His people would be marked by genuine faith, prayer, and lives that reflect His rule.
