Exactly five days before He would die on the cross, and one week from His resurrection, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a colt. The crowd’s reaction and declarations are striking, as they lay palm branches on the road in front of Jesus and declare, “Hosanna to the Son of David.”

In this moment the Jewish crowd is recognizing an amazing truth. For centuries they had been waiting on the one person who was the fulfillment of all the prophecies, pictures, and promises of God. But now He is here, in their midst, and they are declaring that Jesus truly is the Messiah for whom they had been waiting.

From the beginning of the Old Testament, the hope for redemption was to be found in a single person who would come in history. There are hundreds of texts pointing to this truth. These Scriptures are in place to point us to our incredible need for a Messiah and to Jesus as the anointed one of God who fulfills all of Scripture. This sermon will take a journey through some of the prophetic texts and show us Jesus as the True Messiah.
