33 - Jesus Enters Jerusalem

Introduction:

Ask the children if they had ever seen a donkey and palm trees. Remind them how Jesus loves the children and how the children love Jesus. Learn that Jesus is our King and we love Him. 

Lesson Outline:

Jesus sent two of His disciples and told them that a short distance away, they will find a little donkey tied. “Loose it and bring it here, to Me. If anyone asks you why you are doing this, tell them the Lord needs it,” Jesus said. So they did as Jesus told them and brought Him the donkey. He sat on it and rode on it to enter Jerusalem. When the people saw Jesus coming, all of them went around Him and were very happy. 

The people took branches from palm trees and they put them on the ground and waved them in the air. They took off their coats and laid them on the ground in front of Jesus. They were shouting: “Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord, Hosanna in the Highest!"All the children did the same thing and loved Jesus, because they knew how much Jesus loved them. They all wanted Jesus to be their King. 

Today at church, we celebrate that special feast day, “Hosanna Sunday,”. This is a very happy day for all of us. We usually bring palm branches with us and sing hymns saying "Hosanna!". We are happy because we know that Jesus is our King and He will come into our hearts.
