For Thought & Discussion:

Question 1: On Palm Sunday, Jesus makes a royal entrance into Jerusalem as the King (Matthew 21:5). What does it mean to you that Jesus is a King?

Question 2: Jesus often talked about the Kingdom — in parables and proclamations that “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” What do you think that means, and why is it so important to Jesus’ message?

Question 3: In Matthew 21:9, the crowds cried out, “Hosanna,” a shout of praise that means “Save now!” How does that fit the occasion, and what does Hosanna mean to you?

Read Matthew 21:1-11 & Luke 19:37-44
