Matthew 21:1-11
s Jesus approached Jerusalem, He sent two disciples ahead of Him to the village.
“When you get there you will find a donkey and her colt tied up,” He said. “Untie them and bring them to Me. If anyone asks what you are doing, say that the Lord needs them.” The disciples did what Jesus told them to do. They brought the donkey and the colt and put their coats on them. Then Jesus sat on the coats.
Hi kids! This week, we celebrate Palm Sunday as we remember the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey (see Matthew 21). Before He passed by, people put palm branches and coats on the road for Him to ride on. They welcomed Jesus as if they were welcoming a great king. As He passed, they shouted, “Hosanna,” which means, “Save us.” The people in Jerusalem believed that Jesus would rescue them— and they were right. Later that week, Jesus was put to death on a cross. But only three days later, He rose again. You’ll hear more about that next week when we celebrate Easter. This week, let’s praise Jesus, the King who saves us from our sins.

As Jesus entered the city, lots of people put their coats on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. They praised God and shouted, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”
