About this episode

Pastor Ron Merrell discusses the significance of Jesus' gentle entry into Jerusalem as a King during Passion Week.

What kind of King rides into the city on a donkey instead of a war horse? In Week 1 of our Countdown series, Pastor Ron Merrell teaches from Matthew 21 and Zechariah 9 to show how Jesus entered Jerusalem not with force, pride, or violence, but with gentleness, humility, and peace. As Passion Week begins, Jesus publicly reveals Himself as King. But He does not arrive like the rulers of this world. He comes lowly and approachable, bringing peace between sinful people and God. This message will help you understand why the triumphal entry matters, how Jesus fulfilled prophecy, and what it means that He is both gentle and King. If you need peace, hope, or a fresh picture of who Jesus is, this sermon points to the Savior who comes near with grace, mercy, and authority.
