1/27/19 Mark 11:1-11

The passage Pastor Grant is preaching through this morning tells the story of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem—the event we commemorate every year on Palm Sunday. Because of this, we will sing quite a few pieces associated with that celebration, such as All Glory, Laud, And Honor, Sing Hosanna, and Crown Him With Many Crowns. Of course, Palm Sunday this year is over two months away, so don’t be surprised if we sing many of these same hymns again in April. Since we in effect get two Palm Sundays this year, the focus this week is on Jesus as a triumphal King, rather than the palm branches and hosannas. The text from Mark is paired with Scriptures from 1 Timothy, Zechariah, and Revelation that look to Christ as “the ruler of the kings of the earth” (Revelation 1:4-5). To keep this image in mind, meditate on the two hymns we’ll sing in communion: The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns and From Babel To Zion. Both these texts look forward eschatologically to Jesus coming again, this time not “to bear and fight and die” as during His earthly ministry, “but crowned with glory like the sun.” Like the crowd who followed Him into Jerusalem, He will gather His people together in the holy city, and “on Zion’s heights forever His banner is unfurled.” —Henry C. Haffner
