— Lesson Overview —
Introduction
Jesus’ instructions to His disciples connected with the prophecy that had been given by Zechariah in the Old Testament. Zechariah’s prophecy promised hope for the people that came with the arrival of a triumphant, victorious King. This King would be humble and would bring hope to all the people. The people had been waiting and they had been hoping. Explain to the students that the people were waiting for a king to ride in on a white horse, they were not expecting Jesus.
Matthew stressed in his Gospel that Jesus’ journey was a fulfillment of Old Testament hopes and promises. The people could be reassured that Jesus was the answer to their long–awaited prayers. Jesus would not only fulfill the Old Testament but He would also bring salvation to the world. It is also important to note that the Old Testament was filled with prophecy that the Lord would come to save mankind. Not only did Zechariah claim this, but so did Isaiah. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed
(Isaiah 53:5, NRSV).
Help the students to understand that when Jesus rode into Jerusalem, His supporters were excited and filled with joy and happiness. They shouted a joyful welcome of Hosanna! Blessed is the One!
Ask the students if they know what the word, Hosanna
means and why the people were shouting to Him.
The crowds surrounding Jesus recognized Him and they identified Him to those who had not experienced Jesus. This was a happy, wonderful time of celebration. The King had arrived! Imagine how that must have felt, to see the One that was promised ride in on a colt. Do you identify Jesus to those who do not know Him? Discuss with the students ways they can share knowledge and talk about Jesus like the people in the crowds did.
CREATE INTEREST: Ask the participants why Jesus’ entry was so important?
I. Jesus Prepares to Enter Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1–2)
Imagine that you were a follower of Jesus and you had just completed a long journey across the Kidron Valley. You were present with Jesus when He had delivered His Sermon on the Mount on the eastern side of the Mount of Olives. From there, you traveled to Jerusalem. While you had been with Jesus throughout His journey, you noticed that everywhere they went, more and more people began following Jesus. Now that you were preparing to enter Jerusalem, the crowd was enormous. Some of the people wanted to witness for themselves the miracles they had been hearing Jesus was performing. Some of the people wanted to learn from Jesus. Can you imagine what a sight that must have been for the people who lived in the region?
Explain to the class this is one way to spread the Gospel. Tell one person about His goodness and what He’s done, then that person tells another person, and so on, and so on. Before you know it there’s an enormous crowd of people praising and following the Lord! Some may visit the church or Sunday school just to hear more about Him for themselves. Others may truly understand that power of Jesus just from listening to you!
As they got closer to the city of Jerusalem, Jesus sent two of His disciples into the town. He told them that they would find a donkey tied to a tree. The donkey’s colt was close by it. Jesus told His disciples to untie them and bring them to Him. Jesus told them that if anyone questioned what they were doing that they were to tell them that the Lord needs them.
They would not stop them from taking the animals. They were to do this to fulfill the
