Gospel:  Mark 11:1-10.  Jesus entry into Jerusalem to save us sinners. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

Sermon:  Psalm 24.  The Return of the King.

The Psalm today doesn’t sound like the ones in the past weeks. It doesn’t sound like the struggle. It sounds like a celebration, like victory.

You and I came into this world that God had crated for us and already at that moment we were set against the Creator—-there is the struggle, the struggle we lose every day.

We need a hero, a Savior; we need the King of Glory spoken about in this Psalm. This Savior is Jesus Christ.
