SEE, YOUR KING COMES TO YOU


Matthew 21:1-22

Key Verses 21:4-5


4This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:  5"Say to the Daughter of Zion, 'See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'"


Where was Jesus going? (1) What instructions did Jesus give to two disciples? (1-2) What were they to say if they were questioned? (3) What can we learn about Jesus? What can we learn from the disciples’ example of obedience? (4-8)


How did this event fulfill Scripture? (4-5) Why do you think the prophet was to tell the people: “See, your king comes to you…”? How is the king described? (5) Why is it important to see that Jesus is a “gentle” king?


How did the people respond? (8-9) What do the palms and the cloaks on the roads represent (Lev 23:40, 2 Ki 9:13)? What is the meaning of what the crowd shouted: 1) “Hosanna”, 2) “Son of David” (Mat 22:41-42), and 3) “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord” (Psa 118:26)? What kind of king do you think the people were expecting? 


What did Jesus say would happen to him in Jerusalem? (Mat 20:17-19) What does this show about the real victory Jesus went to Jerusalem to secure for his people as their king? 


What did Jesus do after arriving in Jerusalem? (12) Why? (13) What does this show about: 1) Jesus, and 2) What he came to do? What does God’s “house” refer to? (13a, Heb 3:6, 1 Cor 6:19)? How can each believer be a “house of prayer”? 


What else did Jesus do at the temple? (14)? What does this show about him? How did the religious leaders respond to all the things they saw and heard? (15-16) What was Jesus’ reply to them? (16) What does this further show about Jesus?


What happened early the next morning? (18-19) Why were the disciples amazed? What did Jesus tell them? (21-22) What does this truth encourage us to do? Why is that we can pray with such faith and confidence?
