On the first Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem and had a mixed response—some worshiped while others grew angry. In this Sunday morning episode, special guest Pastor Jonathan Laurie asks us to respond to Jesus’ claims anew. Will we recognize Him for who He is? Listen in for this Palm Sunday message from John 12.

Notes

Both physical death and leprosy are spiritual pictures of sin.

“Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death” (James 1:15 ESV).

Sin is an inward disease that shows outward symptoms. 

Martha was worshipping Jesus through her service.

The Traitor, the Killers, and the Undecided 

“She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21 ESV).

The Different Responses to Jesus:
The Dead Man and the Leper
Mary and Martha
The Traitor: Judas
The Killers: The Religious Leaders
The Undecided: The Large Crowd
