For centuries now, on the Sunday before Easter, the church has observed the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem just days before he was crucified. It’s called Palm Sunday. 
What does Palm Sunday mean? It means Jesus is king, and it’s important to see that’s not just an abstract proposition. Palm Sunday is about this: you can’t know Jesus Christ unless you know him as king. He can’t change your life unless you understand him as king. You can’t even understand who he is unless you understand him as king. 
Luke 19 teaches us 1) Jesus is the true king, 2) Jesus is the weak king, and 3) how he can be your king.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 13, 2014. Series: Knowing Jesus. Scripture: Luke 19:28-40.
