The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem marks a pivotal moment where divine purpose meets human expectations. Today we examine this carefully orchestrated event from Mark 11:1-10, where Jesus sends disciples to find a specific unridden colt—fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy with deliberate precision.

As Jesus rides into Jerusalem, crowds gather with palm branches and cries of "Hosanna!" The atmosphere pulses with anticipation for a political liberator who would overthrow Roman rule and restore Israel's glory. Yet the profound irony lies in their misunderstanding of the moment. The King they welcome isn't coming to claim an earthly throne but to sacrifice Himself for humanity's deepest need.

This juxtaposition reveals the heart of Christ's mission—not to wear a royal crown but a crown of thorns, not to receive honor but to be mocked and crucified. Jesus understood that what we truly needed wasn't political freedom but spiritual redemption through forgiveness. His willingness to move toward the cross despite knowing what awaited Him demonstrates extraordinary love and purpose. As we reflect on this passage, we're invited to examine our own expectations of Jesus and recognize our profound need for the forgiveness only He can provide through His sacrifice. Listen now to discover how this ancient moment speaks directly to your life today, and consider what it means to embrace the true King who came not to conquer lands, but hearts.

Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.070
Let's get started.

00:00:21.070 --> 00:00:25.187
Today is day 100.

00:00:25.187 --> 00:00:33.152
Jesus enters From the Gospel of Mark, chapter 11, verses 1 through 10 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:42.154
As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives.

00:00:42.154 --> 00:00:46.682
Jesus sent two of them ahead and said Go into that village over there.

00:00:46.682 --> 00:00:51.646
As soon as you enter it you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden.

00:00:51.646 --> 00:00:53.887
Untie it and bring it here.

00:00:53.887 --> 00:00:59.453
If anyone asks what are you doing, just say the Lord needs it and will return it soon.

00:00:59.453 --> 00:01:05.576
The two disciples left and found the colt in the street standing there tied outside the front door.

00:01:05.576 --> 00:01:11.019
As they were untying it, some bystanders demanded what are you doing untying that colt?

00:01:11.019 --> 00:01:15.691
They said what Jesus had told them to say and they were permitted to take it.

00:01:15.691 --> 00:01:20.471
Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it and he sat on it.

00:01:20.471 --> 00:01:25.490
Many in the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him and others spread leafy branches.

00:01:25.490 --> 00:01:27.501
They had Many in the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him and others spread leafy branches they had cut in the fields.

00:01:28.424 --> 00:01:39.887
Jesus was in the center of the procession and the people all around him were shouting Praise God, blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord, blessings on the coming kingdom of our ancestor, david.

00:01:39.887 --> 00:01:42.393
Praise God in highest heaven.

00:01:42.393 --> 00:01:46.700
Praise God in highest heaven.

00:01:46.700 --> 00:01:52.641
As Jesus approaches Jerusalem, he's preparing something big, something public and intentional.

00:01:52.641 --> 00:01:55.844
Crowds were gathering from everywhere for Passover and the excitement was high.

00:01:55.844 --> 00:01:59.409
But many misunderstood what Jesus was doing.

00:01:59.409 --> 00:02:03.313
They expected an earthly king to free them from Roman rule.

00:02:03.313 --> 00:02:06.575
Yet Jesus wasn't coming as a typical ruler.

00:02:06.575 --> 00:02:17.599
He was arriving as the true king, preparing to sacrifice his life for our sins.

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.680
Instead of a royal crown, he'd wear a crown of thorns.

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.859
Instead of receiving honor, he'd be mocked and crucified.

00:02:25.859 --> 00:02:33.062
Jesus carefully arranged to enter Jerusalem on a colt, fulfilling the promise of peace and forgiveness through a new covenant Zechariah 9, 9-11.

00:02:33.062 --> 00:02:37.251
He knew exactly what lay ahead and willingly moved toward it.

00:02:37.872 --> 00:02:47.649
For us Today, I want you to remember that Jesus knew exactly what we truly needed Forgiveness through sacrifice.

00:02:47.649 --> 00:02:50.144
Through His sacrifice.

00:02:50.144 --> 00:02:56.669
Consider your own need for forgiveness and thank Jesus for His incredible love and grace.

00:02:56.669 --> 00:03:04.707
Pray with me, father God, thank you for sending Jesus, who clearly understood our deepest need.

00:03:04.707 --> 00:03:15.067
Help us to recognize and receive the forgiveness that he offers In his powerful name, amen.

00:03:15.067 --> 00:03:23.698
