The Road to Redemption — Week 2

This Palm Sunday message in The Road to Redemption turns on a question: have you ever expected something from God only to be surprised by how He answered? The crowds welcomed a king who did not meet their expectations but was exactly the king they needed. Working through Matthew 21, the teaching shows Jesus entering Jerusalem deliberately and without flinching, fully aware of the cross ahead. His choice of a donkey fulfills Zechariah 9:9, a prophecy roughly five centuries old, and signals a humble, peaceful King rather than a conquering general. The same crowd shouting "Hosanna" would soon shout "Crucify him." The application presses the central question, "Who is this?" If Jesus is the Messiah He claimed to be, He has the right to rule every part of life. The call is to receive Him not just for eternity but with daily allegiance.
