The Triumphal Entry (John 12:12-26) [Jay Thomas]

After a very hard week of national news, we need a hero to ride in and save the day. Thankfully, we have one... but He is not quite the hero we might write into a story if we were the author. I praise God we are not the author! This hero is Jesus, and He is in fact the Conquering King, but a Humble King - a King who would triumph by means of a cross, not an army or weapon of mass destruction. This is a King who will defeat His enemies, He will provide peace, He will bring glory, and He will do so by taking on the evil, brokenness, sin, and shame of Nashville, our current culture, our community, our families, and our hearts upon Himself and He died on a cross. As we enter the story of the Triumphal Entry in John 12, may we see and savor the Humble King of Glory.
