The Triumphal Entry (Mark 11:1-11)
Bob Schultz, September 14, 2014Part of the Gospel of Mark series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
This week we will study Mark 11:1-11 a passage that is often titled, “The Triumphal Entry.” In this paragraph we learn a valuable lesson about the sovereignty of God related to the time of Jesus's death. It was clearly promised and predicted in the Old Testament. In addition, we learn in this passage a profound lesson on human nature related to one's interest in Jesus. For many, if God does not give them what they want in this world, they turn from Jesus; never really having a true understanding of Him to begin with. In addition, this Sunday we will partake of the Lord’s Supper and enjoy fellowship at our Second Sunday Potluck.
Mark 11:1–11 (Listen)
11:1 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. 5 And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8 And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. 9 And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”
11 And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
