What we have here is the story of Jesus’ triumphal entry. We’re going to see three things in this passage about the kingship of Christ. First of all, we learn here the confrontational nature of the kingship of Christ; secondly, the paradoxical nature; and thirdly, the transformational nature. Confrontational: “… your king …” Paradoxical: “… your king comes, gentle …” Transformational: “But he is coming. He is on the way.”

This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 2, 1997. Series “The Real Jesus Part 3; The King”. Scripture: Matthew 21:1-17; Acts 19:13-16; Revelation 3:15-16.
