Continuing our series on the Gospel of Matthew, today's teaching is from Matthew 21 1-22 - the so called triumphal entry to Jerusalem. There is a short teaching from Genesis 22 about Abraham's faith followed by the Matthew passage about Jesus' triumphal entry on the colt of a donkey fulfilling prophecy from Zechariah 9:9.
Jesus weeps over Jerusalem before going to the temple and turning out the merchants. Finally Jesus causes the fig tree to wither (a representation of the nation of Israel)
