The lesson begins with a reading of the following scriptures in this order: Luke 19:29-35; Matthew 21:4-5; John 12:12-13; John 12:16-19; Luke 19:36-38; Mark 11:9-10; Luke 19:39-44; Matthew 21:10; Mark 11:11
In part 6 of the series The Ministry of Jesus: From the Jordan to Pentecost, we consider the harmony of the Gospel accounts of Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem the Sunday before He was crucified which we call Palm Sunday. Among other things, we’re reminded that even today, many Christians seek political transformation of government instead of spiritual transformation of their hearts, that following Jesus does not result in exemption from suffering, and just as King Jesus took courage and entered the city where He knew He would be crucified, so are His followers to take courage and obey the Father’s will.
