The Sorrowful Entry

Apr 10, 2022    Pastor Mark Kirk

Today we celebrate Palm Sunday and begin our journey together of Jesus’ final week before His death and resurrection. The title today may seem little strange since most scholars refer to Palm Sunday as the “triumphal entry.” And why do they call it that? Because this is the day Jesus openly proclaimed Himself to be the promised Messiah of Israel by riding in on a donkey and fulfilling many Biblical prophecies. The problem is while this may be triumphant in the fulfilling prophecy, it was not the triumphant day that Jesus would take His throne. Because rather than Israel accepting Him as their Messiah, they rejected Him as their Messiah. Hence the gospels tell us Jesus came in “weeping” rather the “rejoicing.
