“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.
