Grace Chapel Knoxville Sermons

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a young donkey, He was showing the world what kind of King He is. He came in humility and peace, fulfilling a prophecy spoken centuries earlier, while the crowds welcomed Him with shouts of “Hosanna!” from Psalm 118. What they didn’t realize was that this moment also lined up with the choosing of the Passover lamb—a picture of Jesus offering Himself as the sacrifice for our salvation. The triumphal entry reminds us that Jesus is both our King and our Lamb, and like the donkey that carried Him, we’re called to bring His presence into the lives of those around us and turn over control of our lives to him.
