THE KING COMES Palm Sunday lessons for today

Christ's entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21) should not be turned into a liturgical pantomime. Besides fulfilling prophecy (Zech. 9:9), it teaches oft-misunderstood and essential Christian truths. We discover the glorious triple-truth of Christ, our Prophet, Priest and King. A right grasp of this has radical implications for so much that is wrong with church and society. As Dr Clifford explains, it also provides healing and comfort as we struggle with personal brokenness and sin.
