JESUS ENTERS JERUSALEM AS KING
Key verse: 38
NIV
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)(B)
28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.(C) 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany(D) at the hill called the Mount of Olives,(E) he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.(F) 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks(G) on the road.
37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives,(H) the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”(J)
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”(K)
40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”(L)

The Triumphal Entry
28 And when he had said these things, (A)he went on ahead, (B)going up to Jerusalem. 29 (C)When he drew near to Bethphage and (D)Bethany, at (E)the mount that is called Olivet, he sent (F)two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, (G)on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32 So those who were sent went away and found it (H)just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they (I)spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—(J)the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice (K)for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, (L)“Blessed is (M)the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and (N)glory in the highest!” 39 (O)And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, (P)the very stones would cry out.”

Jesus wanted to reveal himself as the promised King by riding on a colt as was prophesied in Zechariah 9:9. But he had no colt. So, he sent his two disciples to bring it with a simple claim: “The Lord needs it.” When they obeyed, they experienced the Lordship of Jesus and brought the colt. Jesus is the Lord, the Owner and Maker of everything. When Jesus says, “The Lord needs it,” it should be available for his use. To be used by and for Jesus is a great blessing and honor for us.
As Jesus went down the Mount of Olives riding on a colt, the whole crowd welcomed their king in a loud voices, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.” Jesus is God’s anointed King, but he is so humble and gentle that anyone can come to him without being threatened. Jesus is the King of peace. We want peace, but we cannot have it by worldly power or better conditions or material possessions. True peace comes when we receive forgiveness of our sins. Peace comes from our true King Jesus, who died on the cross to set us free from the power of sin and death and to make peace between God and us. Jesus our King entered Jerusalem to die and bring us peace with God and with others.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, my King, come and rule my heart and life with your peace. Let me and all that I have be available to you for your use.
One Word: The Lord needs it; he is the King!
