The one who comes in the name of the Lord

Matthew 21.1-11

Who is this? – Week 1 of 9

Nine weeks in which we explore how the Easter readings reveal different faces of Jesus. 

The one who comes in the name of the Lord

Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey and is acclaimed as ‘the one who comes in the name of the Lord’.

This week’s reading, Matthew 21.1-11, provides us with an opportunity to:

  • almost see who Jesus really is (AAA & CYP)
  • recognise the contradictions in Jesus’ nature (AAA & CYP)
  • participate in a celebration of welcome (AAA & CYP).
