The Story of Jesus
His Entry into Jerusalem

(Lesson 71)

Introduction:
 

         1. The apostle Peter concluded his second letter with an appeal to grow in the knowledge of Christ
             (2 Peter 3:18).
         2. This growth is accomplished by complying with the Lord's appeal to "Search the Scriptures"
             (John 5:39).
         3. This lesson is a study of passages that teach us about the Lord's entry into Jerusalem.
         4. Although this special event is recorded in all 4 Gospel accounts, . . .

Discussion:


I.           LET  US  FIRST  READ  MATTHEW'S  ACCOUNT  (21:1-11)


         A. We learn from vs.4-5 that this event fulfilled an Old Testament prophecy (Zechariah 9:9).
             1. Zechariah served as a prophet with Haggai.
             2. As we study their books we must keep in mind that they encouraged the Jews to finish rebuilding
                 the temple after their captivity in Babylon (Ezra 4:24-5:2).
             3. In his book, Zechariah also prophesied about the coming of Christ.
                 a. In addition to being King, he would also be a Priest (6:13).
                 b. His price would be 30 pieces of silver (11:12).
                 c. The 30 pieces of silver would be cast to the potter (11:13).
         B. As Jesus fulfilled Zechariah's prophecy,:
             1. great multitudes of people were present
             2. the people rejoiced and offered praise (Luke 2:13-14)
             3. He demonstrated His meekness (Matthew 11:29)
             4. the religious leaders showed contempt (Matthew 21:15-16).

II.          LET  US  ALSO  READ  THE  OTHER  ACCOUNTS


         A. Mark 11:1-11
         B. Luke 19:28-40
         C. John 12:12-16

III.         LET  US  MAKE  THREE  OBSERVATIONS


         A. The fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy is a strong source of evidence proving that Jesus is the
             Son of God.
         B. The Lord's entry into Jerusalem was a special event for those who recognized Him and were waiting
             for Him -- the same can be said about His return in the future (2 Thessalonians 1:10).
         C. The Lord had need of the donkey and its colt to accomplish God's plan -- He needs followers today
             who will use their talents faithfully in His service (Matthew 25:14-18).
