Behold Your King Midweek Study Guide
Read all four accounts of Jesus entering Jerusalem. Matthew 21:1-10, Mark 11:1-10, Luke 19:28-39, John 12:12-19. What is similar? What is different?
HOSANNA (Hō zănʹ nȧ)
Cry with which Jesus was greeted on the occasion of His triumphal entrance into Jerusalem (Mark 11:9). The words with which the Savior was welcomed by the multitude are drawn from Ps. 118:25–26. “Hosanna” is a Hebrew or Aramaic word that is best translated as a prayer: “Save now,” or “Save, we beseech Thee.” When the residents of Jerusalem, carrying palm branches, met Jesus and hailed Him as the One who comes in the name of the Lord, they included in their acclamation a plea for salvation.
Why do you think the crowd responded so strongly to Jesus when He entered Jerusalem? What were they hoping He would do?
Jesus predicted his death in the gospels. What are some of the reasons or motivations from these texts?
What does Colossians 1:15–20 teach us about the reason Jesus went to the cross?
What does Jesus mean when he says His kingdom is not of this world? John 18:36–37
9. John 12:16 says the disciples did not understand at first. What does that teach us about spiritual understanding and growth?
10. What would it look like for you personally to “live with advancing the kingdom in mind”?
