Sunday of the Passion

John 12:12-19 & Matthew 27:11-66

“Jesus is the King we never knew we needed.”

Palm Sunday is about a King who brings life from death. Christ’s

entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday pointed to the restoration of

life that would far surpass the raising of Lazarus. Jesus’

resurrection signaled that He rules a Kingdom that has no death,

because it’s not of this world. He was looking to another “Palm

Sunday” for you and me as He rode into Jerusalem to shed his blood for our sins, After

this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation,

from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the

Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a

loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
