Consider the contrast when Jesus’ rode into Jerusalem: here is a King making a triumphant entrance into Israel’s most important city, yet He is riding on a donkey. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung explores the dual identity of Jesus as reflected in His entry, revealing Him as both Messiah and King.
The word “perplexing” accurately describes Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Why would a king use such humble elements during His arrival? This Sunday, Rev. Jared Co addresses these questions, revealing why Jesus is not the King we expected, but instead is the King we truly need.
Inaasahan ng mga tagasunod ni Jesus ang Kanyang dakilang pagdating sa Jerusalem, ngunit dumating Siya na nakasakay sa isang asno. Hindi naunawaan ng mga sumalubong sa Kanya ang Kanyang layunin. Ngayong Linggo, ipinapaalala sa atin ni Rev. Mike Cariño na ang Diyos ay hindi kumikilos ayon sa ating inaasahan. Magtiwala tayo sa Kanya, sapagkat ang Kanyang mga paraan ay higit na mataas kaysa sa anumang maaari nating gawin o isipin.
Unlike the disciples, Bartimaeus clearly recognized Jesus as the Messiah despite his blindness. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung urges us, as followers of Jesus, to pray that the Lord open the eyes of our hearts, so that we may clearly see His truth—one that often transcends what our physical eyes can see.
