Matthew 21:1-10; Daniel 9:24-25

Summary

Jesus finally enters Jerusalem, days before he will go to the cross to pay for humanity's sin. The people of Jesus' time were expecting a conquering King Messiah to rule with authority, but Jesus' entrance was marked by humility by riding in on a donkey and weeping for the city that was about to take him to his death. Jesus' predicted death was foretold through a prophecy in Daniel 9. This teaching focuses intently on the prophecy from Daniel 9 concerning the time of Jesus' death. Jesus' life was the culmination of many fulfilled prophecies told in the Old Testament, and gives unique claims to who he is and why people should listen and ask for forgiveness through him.
