Luke 19: The Triumphal Entry

March 24, 2024 • Wes Swarthout • Luke 19:28–48, Zechariah 9:9, Proverbs 4:23, Revelation 7:9

Wes Swarthout teaches from Luke 19 - a story known as Jesus' Triumphal Entry. In this story we see Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey - a symbol of both peace and royalty. He comes with the express purpose of going to the cross to accomplish his Father's work. He is intentional and intense, yet, instead of riding a war horse to declare war on Israel's enemies, he enters on a donkey to bring peace and to bring ultimate victory over sin and death - our spiritual enemies. With great grief and great hope he submits himself to his Father's will. In doing all of this, he also extends this same work to our lives today, inviting us to submit ourselves to his ultimate act of love.
