“Palm Sunday Past, Present, and Future”
Zechariah 9:9 NLT
Rejoice, O people of Zion! Shout in triumph, O people of
Jerusalem! Look, your king is coming to you.
He is righteous and victorious, yet he is humble,
riding on a donkey— riding on a donkey’s colt.
John 12:13 NIV
They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!”
Psalm 118:25 ESV
Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD,
we pray, give us success!
There are more than 300 prophecies recorded in the Old
Testament concerning the first coming of Christ.
John 12:16 NLT
His disciples didn’t understand at the time that this was a
fulfillment of prophecy. But after Jesus entered into his glory,
they remembered what had happened and realized
that these things had been written about him.
1. Jesus’ first coming was not to bring political peace but
personal peace.
Mathew 10:34-36 NLT
Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came
not to bring peace, but a sword. ‘I have come to set a man
against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a
daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Your enemies will be right in your own household!’
2. We must learn to give up what’s impressive to people
so that we can do what’s important to God.
Luke 19:41 NIV
As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city,
he wept over it

Luke 19:41-44 TPT
When Jesus caught sight of the city, he burst into tears
with uncontrollable weeping over Jerusalem, saying,
“If only you could recognize that this day peace is within your
reach! But you cannot see it. For the day is soon coming
when your enemies will surround you, hem you in on every
side, and lay siege to you. They will crush you to pieces, and
your children too! And they will leave your city totally
destroyed. Since you would not recognize God’s day of
visitation, you will see your day of devastation!”
What does this teach us today?
Seeing is not believing, believing is seeing.
