Review
Exposition
We have finally arrived in Judea
Notice the map
zoom in
Bethpage is a village at the Mount of Olives
Jesus clearly has knowledge that he would not otherwise have about the situation before him.
His instructions could be understood by his disciples as to steal this donkey and colt
So he says, “…
Notice how Jesus identifies Himself
“The Lord”
I. Jesus is Lord so give Him priority (1-3)
Begin next point
Purpose?
…
So these verses (4-5) are Matthew inserting his narration into the story and rather than simply retelling the events, he provides commentary.
It is said that a king arriving on a donkey communicates His coming in peace
Jesus certainly did not NEED to ride into town, he just completed a large journey on foot.
Earlier in the book we saw this often (fulfilling prophecy)
II.
Jesus is King so give Him the reverence He deserves (4-5)
Not just king of the jewish nation
look with me at the context of the quote
Begin next point
Simply put, they obeyed
They put their cloaks on the colt and Jesus sat upon the cloaks
What happened next is perhaps simultaneously, one of the most remarkable and sad scenes in the Scriptures
Rolled out the red carpet
yet they were about to yell “crucify Him, crucify Him”
How quickly a crowd can turn on its hero.
Hosanna - “Save Us!”
From Psalm 118
Part of the Hallel (Song sung at various feasts, signifies messiah
III.
Jesus is Messiah so trust Him (6-9)
IV.
Jesus is more than a prophet so don’t misunderstand Him (10-11)
