What do you think the message was that Jesus wanted to have sent to the world through his entrance into Jerusalem that day?

The sermon explores the significance of Jesus's entry into Jerusalem, emphasizing that it was a deliberate act of revealing his true identity as king, not the kind the crowds expected. It examines how Jesus, despite knowing the people's misplaced hopes and the impending destruction it would bring, intentionally allowed the proclamation of his kingship, subverting their expectations and demonstrating a power rooted in sacrifice and redemption rather than military might. The message underscores the importance of recognizing Jesus as the king who conquers sin and offers a covenantal peace, challenging listeners to examine their own desires and declare his reign, even amidst opposition.
