Takeaways:
Jesus Needs a Ride
- Jesus is Lord over all of creation. He owns it all - including this donkey
- Jesus had authority, but he was also humble.
A Different Type of Kingdom
- Not only was Jesus fulfilling biblical prophecy, but he was also echoing history for those living in the city.
- Jesus’ kingdom was a different kind of kingdom, and his entry into Jerusalem reflected not only his teachings, but who he was and his purpose for all eternity.
The Big Letdown
- The story did not end like they had hoped.
- Sometimes it’s hard to understand God’s purposes.
- Maybe we are disappointed because our expectations are not me, but God has never truly let us down.
Discussion Questions:
- Do you see any parallels with the birth of Jesus and his entrance into Jerusalem?
- What would you rather have, Jesus take over the world now or later? Why is it hard to wait?
- Can you think of an expectation you had of God that he did not meet? Something you thought would happen in your life?
- Why might it be helpful to verbalize our expectations to God, to others and to ourselves?
