The King's Stride - Luke 19:28-40 - Proverbs 30:29-31 - Palm Sunday


Listen Later

“... They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt, and put Jesus on it. As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road."-from Luke 19:28-40

“There are three things that are stately in their stride, four that move with stately bearing: a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing; a strutting rooster, a he-goat, and a king secure against revolt” -from Proverbs 30:29-31

According to the Proverbs, there are four creatures stately in their stride, including a king. As we remember Palm Sunday, we are reminded of the King of King - Jesus the Christ - who strode into Jerusalem on an unlikely colt. Though an unusual King, the crowds can see this is the only king who is worthy of our praise.

When you compare these two passages side-by-side, it seems the differences stick out to us more than the similarities. After all, Jesus (though a King) does not appear "secure against revolt." He begins the week with cheers from the crowd of "Hosannah!" But we know, as we follow the last week of Jesus's ministry before His crucifixion, the cries of "Crucify Him!" will be heard before the week ends.

Join us this special Palm Sunday! (And bring a coat or jacket!).
