DID YOU KNOW (#ffc906 BKG) (#ffffff Font)

This is the first time Jesus let the public claim Him as the Messiah. Yes, His disciples privately claimed Him as the Messiah, but anytime He healed someone, He told them not to tell anyone. (Matt 8:3-4; Mark 7:36) Why wait? Why now, a week before His death? There is a prophecy in Daniel 9 that places the triumphant entry at a specific date based on a set # of days. His entry and public recognition on this specific day fulfills that prophecy. God is accurate down to the details!

B&B

The Jewish religious leaders were opposed to Jesus because they were looking for a Messiah to make Israel great again. They thought the Messiah would come in power, be king of only Israel, and judge the powers of the world. Jesus will do all these things when He returns… except He will be the King of everything, not just of Israel. He tells the Pharisee, Nicodemus, in John 3:16 that God loved the entire world. Jesus came the first time as a simple guy with no attempts to judge the world. Thankfully, God’s plan was bigger and better than the Jewish leaders. God wanted to save the world before He judged it so people could live in eternity with Him.
