10.3.21 Let's Go: Mistaken Identity

Let’s Go: “Mistaken Identity”

Mark 11:1-11

October 3, 2021

I. Jesus came to fulfill prophecy. (vs 1-7)

Zechariah 9:9

Matthew 21:4-5

1. “Say to the daughter of Zion…”

2. “Behold, your King is coming to you…”

3. “Your King is coming….humble,…”

4. “Your King is coming…mounted on a donkey, on a colt….”

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:1

II. Jesus came to “save now.” (vs 8-10)

2 Corinthians 6:2

(1) We must proclaim Christ as our King.

(2) We must welcome Christ as God’s true Messiah, the One who have come to truly save us.

(3) Every man should cry out, “Hosanna, save me now, I pray, Jesus, my Savior.”

III. Jesus came to be obedient to the Father. (vs 11)

“Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.” John 4:34

John 5:30

Faith Sheet:

1. How were Mohammed’s entrance into Medina and Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem symbolic of the movements they initiated?

2. What are some other fundamental differences between Christianity and Islam?

3. What aspects of this fulfillment of prophecy could have been achieved by any ordinary man who set his mind to do so? What aspects could only have been miraculously fulfilled by the Son of God?

4. What leaders do you know who like to make a grand entrance? Do you know any leaders who arrive humbly? Which kind is the better leader?

5. Why didn’t Jesus use His power and growing popularity to make a grand entrance? How might His ultimate mission have failed if He had done so?

6. What kind of Messiah did the people expect and want? What kind of savior do people want today—what do they want relief from? How does Jesus exceed those expectations?

7. What would Jesus see if He came to your church and looked around?
