Jesus stood on a hill overlooking Jerusalem—the Kidron Valley spread from right to left before him, the temple mount rising up on the other side of the valley, and the walls of Jerusalem encircling the capital city. From that hill, Jesus would descend into the valley, up again into the city, and into the temple itself.

Everyone who knew him, and many who had only heard of him, were asking themselves, “What will he do?” They believed he would become the next King of Israel, reigning from Jerusalem. 

But, “How will he secure the throne?”
And, “What kind of king will he be?”

Well, we know from last week that he will be a gentle king. And how will he secure the throne? In this sermon, we explore how what Jesus did in Jerusalem the last week of his life tells that story. Spoiler alert, it has to do with gentleness too!
