An examination of the Triumphal Entry reveals:

1. Jesus made known to the world He is the Messiah and King of Israel. (Matthew 20:29-34)

2. Jesus’ coronation was a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. (Matthew 21:1-5)

3. King Jesus received mixed responses from the crowd. (Matthew 21:6-11)

Challenge: Many people are open to Jesus today as long as they can accept Him on their own terms. People often want a Jesus that will give them wealth, health, success, happiness, and the other worldly things they want. But Jesus came to give you something greater, He came to forgive your sins and to give you spiritual life. Have you accepted Jesus for who He really is and what He has done for you? Can you say with confidence that Jesus is the King of your life and that you have accepted Him to be Lord and Savior of your life?
