Today is Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week on the Christian Calendar. It is the week Christians around the world commemorate the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus followed by the celebration of the resurrection on Easter Sunday. I believe this is the most significant event in the history of the world! It is the culmination of all Old Testament prophecy! It launches the Kingdom of God and the victory and triumph of God over His enemies, including death!
Our primary text this morning is Matthew’s account of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem during that final week before the crucifixion.
