4.10.22 Hillside Bible Church Sermon - Palm Sunday

Sermon Summary

Matthew 21:1-10 records Jesus intentionally fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9. After a ministry of healing, teaching, raising the dead, casting out demons, and commanding nature, Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey to say loudly and clearly, "I am the promised king who is a descendant of David and Son of God. I am the one who will rule over all creation." A week later, Jesus was killed on the cross but then he rose from the dead. Romans 1:1-4 states that the resurrection validates Jesus' claims! Now the question comes to us: Will we believe Jesus was raised from the dead and confess him as Lord? Will our lives display loyalty and love to Jesus as his people? Moreover, Jesus promises to return to rule in power and glory one day! Knowing this, Christians are invited to live with hope in a fearful world. Is Jesus your king?
