JESUS THE KING ENTERS JERUSALEM

John 12:12-19  

Key Verse: 12:15

1.   Where was Jesus going the next day? (What was his destination? [Mk 11:9-11]) What did this crowd do? What sparked them to do this?

2.   What did the crowd say? What does “Hosanna” mean? (Ps 118:25,26) What does it mean that they called him “King of Israel.” How deep was the faith and understanding of the crowd?

3. Look at verse 14–15. What did Jesus do? What was he teaching the crowd and his disciples about himself? (Zec 9:9,10) Why did he accept, indeed welcome, Mary’s outpouring of love and the praise and adulation of the crowd at this time?

4. Read verse 16. When did the disciples realize the meaning of these things? Why? What does it mean to us, practically, that Jesus is King?

5. Read verses 17-19. How did the miraculous sign of the raising of Lazarus affect people? How did it become the catalyst for Jesus’ death? What did the Pharisees say? What did they mean? In what respect were their words prophetic?
