Matthew 21:1-11

Listen to Matthew 21:1-11

1 And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

2 Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.

3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and straight away he will send them.

4 Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

5 Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.

6 And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,

7 And got the ass and the young one, and put their clothing on them, and he took his seat on it.

8 And all the people put their clothing down in the way; and others got branches from the trees, and put them down in the way.

9 And those who went before him, and those who came after, gave loud cries, saying, Glory to the Son of David: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Glory in the highest.

10 And when he came into Jerusalem, all the town was moved, saying, Who is this?

11 And the people said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.

Triumphant Praise

Pastor Jack Morris

As we prepare to celebrate Palm Sunday, we remember how Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey while the crowds waved palm branches and shouted praise. But are you aware this event fulfills the Old Testament prophecy in Zechariah Chapter 9, verse 9 that the Messiah would come into Jerusalem on a donkey? As we progress through this holy week, Pastor Jack Morris reminds us of the significance of this most solemn week, where we commemorate the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.

This is the Day Part 2

Jeff Johnson

Some wonder, “Why study Bible prophecy?” Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll see what happens when we don’t study prophecy! In Matthew chapter 21 Jesus rides into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, fulfilling prophecy. But many didn’t understand this is the day, because they weren’t students of bible prophecy. Still today, even Christians, are avoiding it but they’re missing out!

This is the Day Part 1

Jeff Johnson

Pastor Jeff Johnson is leading a study of Matthew’s gospel right now, and we enter a new chapter today, and a turning point in the Lord’s ministry. Jesus is about to enter into Jerusalem on a donkey as King and Messiah. Why a donkey you may ask? Jeff has observed three very good reasons, and one of them being, it was to fulfill prophecy.

Who is He? Part 2

James Kaddis

Who is this man? That’s the question many asked as Christ prophetically rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey as many proclaimed “Hosanna!” That is, without a doubt, a question worth asking. When we are forced to ask and answer that question, it changes our lives. Let’s talk about what was prophesied on that special day today on Light on the Hill.

Who is He? Part 1

James Kaddis

At times God may ask us to do something that seems a little crazy! For example, March around Jericho silently six times, and on the 7th time around blow the shofars! But as we’ll see today on Light on the Hill God has His reasons and we’re to obey no matter what!
