The East Gate Reopened: Palm Sunday and the Return of God's Glory

This sermon draws on John 12, Matthew, and Ezekiel 11 to show how God's glory left the temple through the east gate and how Jesus, as the true man, reverses that exile. It explains Jesus' humble triumph—entering by the east gate, purifying the temple, and securing victory through suffering and death—inviting believers into Holy Week to unite their sufferings with his and to enter anew into communion with God.
