This Week's Worship

The King We Crown
Theme
Most of the people of Israel did not understand the true purpose of Jesus’ coming.
While Christ came for the salvation of each individual, they saw Him only as a national leader—a political deliverer for their people.
They were not looking for a Savior for their hearts, but a savior for their nation. That is why Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem appears so paradoxical. They welcomed Him as King, yet they did not understand His kingship. They called Him King, but in reality, He was not truly their King.
Zechariah 9:9
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you,
righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
John 12:12-13
12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”
