Jesus Is… Revealing | Luke 19:28–48

When Jesus entered Jerusalem on that first Palm Sunday, most everyone misunderstood what He was doing.  They thought He was coming into Jerusalem to establish God’s physical kingdom on the earth, but Jesus did not come to bring an earthly kingdom—yet.  He came first to establish God’s spiritual reign upon the earth, and to make the way for all people to enter the Kingdom of God by way of His cross and resurrection.  Join us this Sunday as we see how God’s heart for redemption is revealed by Jesus in the celebration of Palm Sunday!
