Make Way for King Jesus
April 4, 2023
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zechariah 9:9
"Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion. See, your King is coming, seated on the colt of a donkey." John 12:15
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
“Hosanna to the Son of David.”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Matthew 21:9
A challenge: You will do well to read the final chapters of each of the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They will lead you into an understanding of the final week from the time Jesus and the eleven faithful disciples departed from the Last Supper until Our Lords resurrection from the tomb and His ascension to His eternal throne in Heaven where He sits at the right of God, our heavenly Father.
Events in the final week.
Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on the back of a colt.
The Last Supper
Jesus prays from the Garden
The Betrayal by Judas
Jesus is Arrested
A mock trial
Pilate sentences Jesus’ death on the Cross at Golgotha.
Joseph of Arimathea takes Jesus’ body from the cross and lays it in a borrowed tomb.
The Resurrection Christ
His Ascension into Heaven to the right of the Heavenly Father.
Eternal life.

The King is Coming
The marketplace is empty,
No more traffic in the streets,
All the builders' tools are silent,
No more time to harvest wheat,
Busy housewives cease their labors,
In the courtroom no debate,
Work on earth is all suspended.
As the King comes through the gate.
O the King is coming,
The King is coming!
I just heard the trumpets sounding,
And now His face I see,
O the King is coming,
The King is coming!
Praise God, He's coming for me!
Bill Gaither
