When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem riding on a donkey, He exhibited a uniquely humble authority. His majesty, however, was also on display, and His entrance and acts in Jerusalem made it clear that He bore the authority of a prophet and priest. In this sermon, Alistair Begg challenges us to grapple with the reality of a Savior who demands our submission to His authority, even as he defies our expectations of authority itself.
1iNow when they drew near to Jerusalem, to jBethphage and Bethany, at kthe Mount of Olives, Jesus1 sent ltwo of his disciples 2and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, mon which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. 5And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. 7And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8And many nspread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. 9And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, o“Hosanna! pBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10Blessed is qthe coming rkingdom of sour father rDavid! oHosanna tin the highest!”
11uAnd he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, vhe went out to Bethany with the twelve.
