Palm Sunday, also known as Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, marks the beginning of His journey toward the cross. But, the story of redemption started long before. There is powerful spiritual significance and depth hidden in every detail of His triumphal entry—from the donkey he rode,  the shouts of the crowd around him, to the palm branches.

The death of Jesus is a powerful and profound gift all on its own. Because of His work on the cross, all who believe in Him have the gift of eternal life and forgiveness of sins. But when we take a closer, more in-depth look at the details of Messiah’s death on the cross, it becomes so much more beautiful. Looking back gives us a chance to celebrate His sacrifice for us in a whole new way. This week, we will learn what it means that Jesus is the “second Adam.” We will look at the events of Good Friday through an Old Testament perspective and begin to see the extensive work of redemption God had in place throughout history.
