Summary

OH MAN! I forgot to mention a really cool historical insight we get from the Mishnah! Apparently, Jews were expected to enter Jerusalem on foot when travelling there for Passover. This means that when Jesus entered on a donkey it would have stood out as particularly odd and unique. This give us another reason to see the profound and deliberate proclamation to be the Messianic King. I meant to share that during the study to help those who might think, "so what, lots of people ride donkeys into Jerusalem". This was obviously a lot more than just a donkey ride. Sometimes it's the passages we find the most familiar that we have the most new stuff to learn from. This will be a careful study of the "Triumphal Entry", or "Palm Sunday" where we intend to get a deeper understanding of the passage and hopefully a greater appreciation for how strategically ironic the whole thing is. Mark 1:1-11 is probably the most ironic passage in the book, in my opinion. Here's my study on 24 ways Jesus fulfilled Passover. https://youtu.be/A-_6rpQ4zLg Here's my study on Daniel 9 and it's connection to the timing of Jesus' sacrifice. https://youtu.be/pK5RsOaVy4U See the WHOLE Gospel of Mark playlist here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuGenHwUdeiQ5M-uj5XW4sF

0:00.0	This is the Mark series part 41 and I think the most ironic passage in the Gospel of Mark.
0:07.6	So we're going to be covering this today. The Triumphful Entry is what it's often called
0:11.0	but I think of it as the ironic entry I don't know if
0:15.3	people need to change the name of it to that I'm not suggesting that they need to
0:18.6	but at least for me that gives me clarity on what exactly is happening here
0:22.4	calling it the triumphal entry causes us to miss so that gives me clarity on what exactly is happening here.
0:22.6	Calling it the triumphal entry causes us to miss so much of what's actually going on,
0:26.6	what's at the center of Jesus and the crowd's actions in this passage.
0:31.7	So this is an exciting study because sometimes the
0:35.2	passages you're the most familiar with like Palm Sunday, Triumphal Entry, Jesus
0:39.7	entering as they shout Hosanna, like this kind of passage. Sometimes these are the passages that you have the most to learn about
0:45.0	because you've just sort of taken a simplistic view of them for years
0:50.0	and not realized how much depth is there. And sometimes we're bored not with
0:55.0	with scripture, but we're bored with our own understanding of the word of God
0:59.0	and we need to just go deeper to get excited again.
1:01.5	And so that's what we're going to do today. This is Mark
1:03.1	chapter 11 verses 1 through 11. I'm going to read through the passage with you and
1:07.6	then we're going to do a verse by verse study of it to understand it in
1:12.2	context. So here we go. Mark 11. 1. Now when they
1:17.6	drew near to Jerusalem to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus
1:22.3	sent two of his disciples and said to them,
1:24.4	go into the village in front of you and immediately as you enter it you will find a
