Passage: John 12:12-15

Mission to the City

 

The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:

“Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the LORD!’ The King of Israel!”

Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written: “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”             John 12:12-15

 

 

Palm Sunday:

  • Prophesied over 500 yrs. prior: Zechariah 9:9 …
  • The words the crowd spoke: over 1,000 yrs. prior: Ps. 118:25,26
  • The exact year/day: prophesied over 600 yrs. prior: Dan. 9:25,26

 

 

Jesus was on a mission and He knew exactly what awaited Him.

 

 

He has given us a mission, too:

  • Acts 1:8 - “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
  • Our ‘Jerusalem’ is GF/EGF (& surrounding area) …

Ask the LORD for rain in the time of the latter rain. The LORD will make

flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain…   Zechariah 10:1
