Jesus Goes to Jerusalem
Matthew 21:1-11 (NIV)

Jesus had been ministering to the people for 3 1/2 years now. During that time he preached to the people that they should seek God and His Kingdom, performed many miracles and healed many people. Now he realized the time had come to lay down his life for the world as their Savior. He wished to go to Jerusalem for the Passover and he knew that if he did he put himself in danger. You can read in Matthew 18:17-19 what he prophesied would happen to him.

The people loved Jesus, and as he approached Jerusalem on the back of a donkey colt, they rejoiced to see him.  Read Matthew 21:6-9 (NIV) to see what they did and said and fill in the blanks below.

"Hosanna to the _ _ _  of  _ _ _ _ _  !"
_ _ _ _ _ _ _  is he who comes in the _ _ _ _ of the _ _ _ _ !
" _ _ _ _ _ _ _  in the highest!"

When Jesus arrived at Jerusalem he went to the Temple. Lead him there through the maze.
