Palm Sunday Message: From Zero to Hero

Matthew 21:1-11
1 When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to
Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and
immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her;
untie them and bring them to Me. 3 If anyone says anything to you,
you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he
will send them.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken
through the prophet:
5 “Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold your King is coming to you,
Gentle, and mounted on a donkey,
Even on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them, 7 and
brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and
He sat on the coats. 8 Most of the crowd spread their coats in the
road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and
spreading them in the road. 9 The crowds going ahead of Him, and
those who followed, were shouting,
“Hosanna to the Son of David;
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest!”
10 When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying,
“Who is this?” 11 And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet
Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.”
