Holy Week Devotions, Palm Sunday: The Triumphal Entry!

Read the Bible
Matthew 21:1-11
Mark 11:1-11
Luke 19:28-44
John 12:12-19

What does Jesus ride into Jerusalem? 
Why do you think riding a donkey is so important?
How do the crowds worship Jesus?  What do they say?  What do they do?
What does it mean to “come in the Name of the Lord?”
Hosanna is a cry of praise and adoration that literally means “Help!” or “Please save!”  Why are the people crying out, “Hosanna!”?

Driving it Home

Enjoy a family parade around the house or neighborhood. You might want to invite another family to join you.

Or dress up and act out the triumphal entry as a family. We loved using towels as head coverings!
