John 12:1-19 – The Triumphant Entry of King Jesus takes place just after Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead and His fame is now exploding! Things are not always as they appear on the surface. On the surface Jesus’ fame is exploding! Millions in Jerusalem are hailing Jesus as their King. With shouts of Hosana they praise their long awaited Messiah and beg Him to save now! To everyone’s surprise Jesus does not receive their praise but instead displays sorrow and heartache at their apparent worship. What was the problem? As you listen to The Triumphant Entry of King Jesus you will begin to see what Jesus is looking for in our worship. John 12:1-19 – The Triumphant Entry of King Jesus teaches us that even in the midst of false worship, Jesus systematically moves towards the cross to purchase our salvation.

powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. He is before all
things, and in Him all things consist.”

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the
fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son,
whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the
worlds. who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His
person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by
Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
