Fellowship:

Icebreaker:
If you were king or queen for the day:
How would you spend the day?
What kind of transportation would you use?
How would you want to be honored?

Scripture:
John 12:1-19

Lesson:
Jesus is back in Bethany at the home of Lazarus, Martha and Mary.  Jesus’ death on the cross is eminent although his believers don’t understand that, yet.  Sensitive Mary anoints the LORD’s head and feet with precious oil.   Jesus sits upon a young colt and rides the short distance into Jerusalem.  All the people who had seen Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead come out to cheer Jesus’ arrival into the capital city.  Their deliverance had final come, or so they thought.  It was a ceremony fit for a King.

Why did the crowd call Jesus “The King of Israel?”
What did they think Jesus was there to do?
Why do you think Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem is called “The Triumphal Entry?”
How did this event fulfill prophecy about Jesus?  (Read Zechariah 9:9-11)
What kind of kingdom was Jesus really there to proclaim?
What does a kingdom of peace mean to you?
How does being a part of a kingdom that is “not of this world” help you cope with the unrest of today’s world?
What part do you play in sharing this peace?
