10.25.2026 | Jesus’ Triumphal Entry
Matthew 21:1-9; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44; John 12:12-19
As Jesus came into Jerusalem, the people greeted Him with cheers and celebration. The people had heard about the great miracles of Jesus, and now they were excited to see Him with their own eyes. The people displayed their worship of Jesus by laying palm branches and clothes on the road as Jesus rode into the city on a donkey.
The people shouted “Hosanna.” Do you know what that word means? It means “Save us!” The people were shouting “Hosanna” because they believed Jesus was coming to be their king and to rule over them with goodness and mercy. They were probably expecting Him to be an earthly king—the kind who marries a queen and sits on a throne—but Jesus is the King of kings. He is the King who came to save all who believe in Him!
John 3:16 says, “For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” This was the reason why Jesus came—to bring salvation and eternal life for anyone who believes in Him. Jesus is the King who has come to save!
Jesus is the Messiah God promised. Days after Jesus entered Jerusalem, He died on the cross and rose again to rescue people from sin. One day, Jesus will come back as King over everything, and everyone who trusts in Him will be with Him forever.
Pray: Jesus, You are the King who came to save! Help us follow You and obey You as King. We wait with excitement for the day when You will return to rule over everything forever and ever! Amen.
