Day 1: Palm Sunday: Walking with Jesus Through Holy Week
Palm Sunday: Walking with Jesus Through Holy Week
with Dr. Jeff Warren
Zechariah 9:9-17; Matthew 21:1-11
As we embark on this Holy Week journey, we're invited to walk alongside Jesus in His final days. The prophecy from Zechariah 9, fulfilled in Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, sets the stage for a week of profound spiritual significance. We're challenged to look beyond the surface celebration and recognize the true nature of Christ's kingship - one of humility, sacrifice, and redemption. The contrast between the world's expectations of a conquering king and Jesus' humble entry on a donkey serves as a powerful reminder of God's upside-down kingdom. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to examine our own expectations of God and how we might need to realign them with His divine plan.
Reflection questions:
- How does the contrast between the Roman triumphal processions and Jesus' humble entry into Jerusalem challenge our expectations of power and leadership?
- In what ways might we, like the crowd on Palm Sunday, misunderstand or misinterpret Jesus' mission and identity?
- What significance do you find in Jesus weeping over Jerusalem even as the crowds praise him?
All Sufficient Merit
All sufficient merit
Shining like the sun
A fortune I inherit
By no work I have done
My righteousness I forfeit
At my Savior’s cross
Where all sufficient merit
Did what I could not
In love He condescended
Eternal now in time
A life without a blemish
The Maker made to die
The law could never save us
Our lawlessness had won
Until the pure and spotless
Lamb had finally come
It is done it is finished
No more debt I owe
Paid in full, all sufficient
Merit now my own
I lay down my garments
Any empty boasts
Good works all corrupted
By the sinful host
I’m dressed in my Lord Jesus
A crimson robe made white
No more fear of judgement
His righteousness is mine
All sufficient merit
Firm in life and death
The joy of my salvation
Shall be my final breath
When I stand accepted
Before the throne of God
I’ll gaze upon my Jesus
And thank Him for the cross
Yes I'll thank Him
For the cross
