Palm Sunday 2025 – Luke 19:1-10

Palm Sunday commemorates the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem. It wasn’t necessarily how Jesus entered the city (riding on a donkey) that made it a triumph, but how He allowed Himself to be publicly hailed as the Messiah. When Jesus saw the city, He wept over it (Luke 19:41-44) because the people didn’t realize that God was coming to them, making their salvation possible. Just before the Triumphal Entry, Jesus interacted with a man everybody would have counted out. In their conversation, we hear directly from Jesus why He came: to seek and to save the lost.
