“SEE, YOUR KING COMES TO YOU”
Matthew 21:1-22
Key verse 5
What was Jesus anticipating in Jerusalem (1; 20:17-19)? What instructions did he give two disciples (1b-3)? How does this underscore his lordship?
Why did Jesus need a donkey (4-5; Zec 9:9-10)? What does this teach us about Jesus’ identity, character and mission?
What did the disciples and the crowds do (6-8)? What did they shout and why (9)? What did the city ask and the crowds reply (10-11)? What can we learn about Jesus the Messiah through this event?
What did Jesus do and say in the temple courts, and why (12-13)? Who came to Jesus and what did Jesus do for them (14)? Why were the religious leaders indignant (15)? What did Jesus teach them (16) and where did he go (17)?
What happened early the next morning (18-19)? What did Jesus teach his amazed disciples about faith and prayer (20-22)? What should we learn about Jesus’ kingdom and lordship through these events?
