Don't Miss The Obvious

Apr 13, 2025    Gary Hewins

As we explore the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, we're invited to look beyond the surface of this familiar story. The passage from Matthew 20:29-21:17 reveals a profound disconnect between Jesus' foreknowledge of His impending crucifixion and the jubilant crowds surrounding Him. This contrast challenges us to examine our own lives and faith. Are we, like the crowds, caught up in momentary excitement, or do we possess a deeper understanding of God's plan? The sermon encourages us to seek wisdom and clarity amidst life's noise, reminding us that as believers, we have access to spiritual foreknowledge through Scripture and prayer. By embracing this perspective, we can navigate life's challenges with greater poise and purpose, much like Jesus did during that fateful week. Let's reflect on how we can align our lives with God's will, even when it differs from the world's expectations.
