Now, this morning, as we talk about the beginning of Passion Week, we’re going to talk about our Lord’s entry into the city of Jerusalem. We read from Matthew chapter 21; and I’m not going to go back to that chapter, but we’re going to back up a little bit and go to the Old Testament and look at what was being fulfilled on that day. And I already pointed out, just reading it and praying with you over that passage, that there were at least three or more prophecies that were fulfilled that Matthew records, fulfilled by the entry of our Lord into Jerusalem: one having to do with the riding on the colt, the other having to do with the praise of children, and another, the hosannas to the son of David. That tells us that the event itself was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, and that just looks at some of the very simple factors of that day: the praise of children, the praise of the people, and the animal our Lord rode on. There was much, more prophetic fulfillment going on on that day than just those things that are mentioned by Matthew.
