  1. Palm / Passion Sunday

  2. Holy Gospel Read Matthew 21:1–9. • 1. The account of Jesus entering Jerusalem illustrates Jesus’ complete power and complete humility at the same time. • How does it show Jesus’ power? • How does it show Jesus’ humility? • 2. If you had been a disciple, how would you have reconciled Jesus’ humility with His accepting the praises of those who were extolling Him as the Son of David?

  3. Old Testament Reading Read Zechariah 9:9–12. • 3. Why would it be unusual for a king to enter his city on a donkey? What message does that sort of entrance send about the kind of king Jesus was? • 4. How would these verses comfort the people of God after the exile?

  4. Psalm Read Psalm 118:19–29. • 5. Read Matthew 21:9, and compare those words to verses 25–27. What was the crowd acknowledging about Jesus?

  5. Epistle Read Philippians 2:5–11. • 6. What example of humility did Paul place before the Philippians? • 7. Trace the path Jesus walked to win our salvation. This was a humble path on which Jesus sought our good, not His own.

  6. Holy Gospel Read Matthew 26:1–27:66. • 8. Matthew adds an element of drama into the first section of chapter 26. Jesus said He would be killed at the time of Passover. What did the Jewish leaders resolve would not happen? • 9. The disciples soon began to experience failure. An unnamed woman anointed Jesus’ head with very expensive perfume. What was the disciples’ reaction to this act?

  7. 10. It is clear from all that happened that Jesus went into death willingly. Nothing makes this truth more clear than the way Jesus died. How does 27:50 teach this? • 11. Matthew repeatedly mentions the women who were with Jesus. How might this have been part of the confession Matthew made in his account of Jesus’ suffering and death?
