Easter changes everything, but Palm Sunday shows us HOW.
On Palm Sunday Jesus demonstrated once again He is more than a good man or an incredible teacher. He rides into Jerusalem in direct fulfillment of the prophecies of the coming Messiah, the Son of God, and hope of nations.
The people praised Him as KING as he entered Jerusalem for Passover. Then he went to die on the cross where (as a slight to the Jews) even the Romans labeled Him King of the Jews.
The throne was His, but He walked past it to the cross. He deserved a crown but He wore the thorns.
He did not die as a mere martyr or a fallen King.
He died as the ultimate, cosmic, and final payment for the sin of mankind. No man, martyr, or king could do that- only the Son God could.
That’s how Easter changes EVERYTHING.
