Part 1&2 The Road To The Cross: From Triumphal Entry To Gethsemane

Palm branches wave and voices roar, but the truest victory begins in a quiet garden where a single word—nevertheless—reshapes history. We journey from the Triumphal Entry to Gethsemane to uncover why a king chose a donkey, why cheers turned to silence, and how surrender became the doorway to salvation. Along the way, we explore the force of fulfilled prophecy, the weight of expectation for a political messiah, and the deeper kingdom Jesus brings: one that conquers sin, not empires.

We walk through the busiest week in Jerusalem, where Jesus cleanses the temple, restores prayer to the center, and teaches with piercing clarity about judgment, faithfulness, and the end of the age. Around the Passover table, we linger on the Last Supper as more than ritual. Bread and cup proclaim a new covenant, a living gospel you can taste. Even as he predicts betrayal and denial, Jesus kneels to wash feet—authority wrapped in service, love that doesn’t flinch when friends falter.

In Gethsemane, the olive press lives up to its name. Jesus prays in trembling honesty, then yields with strength: not my will, but yours. Judas arrives with soldiers, but Christ steps forward, identifies himself, and shields his followers—proof that the arrest unfolds on his terms. He could call angels; he chooses the cross. From palms to prayers, every step is intentional, every act drenched in purpose. He isn’t overpowered; he offers himself so we may live with hope that outlasts Friday and lights Sunday.

Listen now to reflect on communion, surrender, and the love that would not turn back. If this journey speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can walk the Road to the Cross with us.

Series Setup: The Road To The Cross

SPEAKER_01 1:25

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. What a wonderful day to be talking about the Word of God. So today, with Easter coming up, as I did this last year, today is going to be the first show of first message of I'm going into the series again, The Road to the Cross. So over the next several messages, we are going to walk slowly and prayerfully through the final days of Jesus' earthly ministry. Now last year I started with uh in the garden, and this year I had a feeling that, you know, I need to change things up a little bit because I think I missed last year one of the most important aspects of it, which was his triumphant entry into Jerusalem. And so I went back and I took my notes and I went back and I redone some stuff. And so now we're going to start today is going to be the triumphant entry. And then I'm going to go straight over into the garden. So I'm actually putting two messages into one today. I promise you I won't be here for hours. So um we're going to we're going to rush, we're not going to rush past the pain because it this is really something, you know, that that Jesus Christ endured. We're not going to skip over to the resurrection. We are going to try and understand, people, what it cost him to redeem us. And today we're going to begin with the celebration, right? And we're going to end in a garden. We begin with palm leaves in the air, and we're going to end with our Savior on his knees. And so this story starts with a king on a donkey, not a war horse, fulfilling prophecy, with a crowd crying out, Hosanna, not really fully understanding that the Savior they were cheering was not coming to conquer Rome like they thought. He was coming to conquer sin. They just don't see

The Triumphal Entry And Its Meaning

SPEAKER_01 3:40

that yet. So join me, friends, as we start today on the road to the cross. And I hope you enjoy. So scripture tells us that the triumphant entry is recorded in, of course, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. So Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey, fulfilling the prophecy in Zechariah 9, verse 9. And it says, uh, it says, see your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey. And so these people, when he gets up to Jerusalem, you know, he's he's he gets on this donkey and he's riding in, and they these people are just throwing their cloaks down on the road and stuff, and they're they're waving their palm branches and they're screaming and shouting, Hosanna, you know, to the highest and all this. And they were right to call him Savior. They they just misunderstood the salvation that he was bringing. See, they they didn't understand, I don't believe, what they what he was coming for. You see, they wanted a political messiah. They wanted a warrior, they wanted a revolutionary person that was going to keep a king that was going to just rush in and overthrow Rome and crush Rome between their feet and and and then just take the throne and live happily ever after. But see, friends, what they didn't seem to understand is that Jesus didn't come to seize the throne. He came to carry a cross. And this, my friends, is what we are getting ready to follow him. Now, we don't know the percentage of the Hebrew population that actually believed that Jesus was the Messiah. But now he had multitudes of people following him. And this coming into Jerusalem was going to be, would be his last trip into Jerusalem. I am not for sure how many. It was either five and this would be the sixth trip, or it was either four, and this would be the fifth trip. He went into Jerusalem, you know, two or three different times. Uh, but this would be his last trip into Jerusalem. And so when Jesus came, he was he came into Jerusalem. It was one of the busiest times of year. Thousands of people and animals and children traveling into Jerusalem for the Passover celebration. Uh, friends, and that is in the Old Testament in Exodus 12. And that's the annual religious feast, of course, that lasted seven days that was celebrating the Passover of the angel of death in Exodus 12. Please go read that awesome story. I'm not going to go into grave detail on it because I want you to be curious and read it. But the thing about it is, is the sad part is that while these the crowd celebrated Jesus' entrance, they celebrated him coming in. You know, they they were celebrating and hoping and hollering, and Jesus knew the road ahead that Jesus knew what was coming. He knew what was coming. And see, they celebrated. He prepared to suffer. They waved their palm leaves and and you know and did all of this. He saw a cross looming. And see, he wasn't swept up in the moment. He he wasn't swept up in the moment. He was surrendered to his mission. See, Luke tells us that he as he approached Jerusalem on this donkey, he wept. Now, friends, picture this. The crowd is shouting, Jesus, the disciples are rejoicing, you know, they're walking along, rejoicing too. The atmosphere is just electric with just the praise in the air. And our Savior is weeping. Because, friends, he sees beyond the palms. He sees the rejection that's getting ready to come. He sees the trial that he is getting ready to go through. My friends, he sees the cross coming. He sees all of that. While they were partying and having a good old time, he sees it. He sees what was coming. And see, the road to the cross was it was not an accident. It wasn't a detour. Friends, it was an assignment. It was his destination. From the very moment that he breathed his first breath out of the womb, started his road to the cross. And he wasn't caught up in circumstances. He was walking in obedience. And one of the saddest things about the whole party is that some of these voices that cried, Hosanna, you know, glory to God, or whatever they were hollering, the voices that was hollering that

Misplaced Expectations Of A Political Messiah

SPEAKER_01 8:31

would soon within the week cry, crucify him. And the thing about it is, friends, I want you to see this part. Praise is easy when what is expected is met. Do you see what I'm saying? Praise is loud when the miracles are flowing. But what happens when Jesus doesn't do what was expected? See, they this crowd praised him for who they thought him to be, who they hoped him to be. But when he didn't fit into their agenda, what happened? Their praise faded and fast. And sometimes, friends, if we be honest with ourselves about it, don't we really do kind of the same? We celebrate him and we praise him. We lift our hands to him when we are getting what we want. But the very second that it doesn't go our way, what? And I'm not even going to finish that. I'm going to let you think about that. I'm going to go on. So in Matthew 21, verses 1 through 11, and it's in all four Gospels, so you may hear me say something about that it said in Matthew, and even the other gospels may even tell it a little different, but it is all the same story, friends. They just tell it a little differently. But as they approach Jerusalem, Matthew 21, uh Jesus sent two of his disciples, telling them to go ahead to the village ahead. You'll find a donkey there with her coat. Bring them to me. He said, and if somebody stops you and asks you, and of course now some of this is my words, he's if somebody stops and asks you, you know, says anything to you about them, you tell them that the Lord hath need of them, right? And all of this was done, like I said, for the fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy, which says, The king cometh unto thee. He is just riding upon an ass and upon a colt, the fowl of an ass. That's Zachary 9, Zechariah 9, verse 9. And so Jesus mounted this donkey, okay, and he goes riding into Jerusalem, which, like I said, would be his last entry there. In both royalty and total humility, he rode in as the victorious son of God and as a gentle, lowly king that he was. And this was his moment. This was the son of God's moment. Surrounded by large crowds of people, spreading their cloaks and palm branches along the road. This was a show of a king. This was praise worthy of a king. He was the king of kings. And they were shouting, Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, Hosanna on the highest. But you see, this was the moment that the Jews were waiting for. This was the triumphal entry of the Messiah. Such a royal moment that had the had anybody, people not cried out, the rocks would have cried out to him. And I don't know about you, but I'm not letting no rocks cry out to my Savior for me. I'm getting ready to cry out myself. But see, they were expecting a king, like I said, who was going to swoop down and crush the Romans. They were expecting a conqueror with a whole host of warriors ready for war. But instead, Jesus came all gentle, riding on a donkey, all alone, empty-handed, no warriors, no army, no legion of angels ready for battle. And we all know he could have had every bit of that.

Passover Context And Crowds In Jerusalem

SPEAKER_01 12:05

There was a crowd of people following him. Now I'm going to add this little tidbit. This is not Bible, but he had a crowd of people following him. And I'm going to guess and say, and I'm going to suggest to you that it was maybe all of those broken people who once were broken, all the ones who had had a contact with Jesus, all those people who were blind but now they see, all those who had one with a weathered hand, but now he was made whole, a lame walking to Jesus Jerusalem, a leper who was had clear, clean skin now, who could join the crowd, a lady healed from bleeding, and friends, a prostitute who was made pure. Those are the people that he had contact with, and those are the people that let's just say was following him. And that was his army. Not what they expected, but that was what they got. A humble Savior on his way to his cross. That's what they got. And you see, maybe we don't maybe they didn't even understand or know what they needed. They didn't need a warrior who was gonna come in and be a conquering king, who was gonna come in and crush their enemies. No, what they really needed was a humble Savior who was gonna wash away their sins and transform their hearts. They just didn't know that. But my friends, if you think about it, all this cheering, uh all of their praise that they they lavish upon him, was it really not a form of idolatry? Because they really didn't even know who he was or why he even came. They didn't know. They know what they wanted him to be and what they hoped him to be. He wasn't bringing the kingdom that they thought he was bringing, but yet they they praised him. They they they were just waiting on him to come in and bring his army and do what they thought he was gonna do. But I said, that wasn't the kingdom that he was bringing. That was not it. You know, and they were gonna be in for a surprise. And so, so between so he comes in and he goes in to Jerusalem, and then he has a really busy week ahead of him. Uh in the days to follow, uh, you know, he enters the temple and he cleanses it, of course. He drives out the money changers, and this is all in the gospels, friends. Please read it, it's good stories. Uh, he drives out the money changers and telling them, you know what, my house is gonna be called a house of prayer, and you've made it a den of thieves. And and in the days to follow, he he teaches daily in the temple. Uh he confronts the religious rel the religious leaders. He tells parables about judgment and faithfulness. He exposes hypocrisy, he exposes the people that were living a lie. He speaks about the coming destruction of the temple and the end times. So he does all of this that that following week, you know, that whole week. But then after he does all that, he comes to this Passover meal. We know it as the Last Supper. And that's a whole message within itself. And I'm going to touch on it a little bit here. And so in this Passover meal, he takes his he takes his disciples into this upper room. Uh he gives communion, he predicts his betrayal, he tells Judas, he tells them, you somebody is going to betray me. Okay. He predicts his betrayal. And he looks over at Peter and he tells Peter, before tonight's over, you are going to deny me three times. And he tells them all this during their meal. He washes their feet. He washes the feet of the people that's going to run, that's going to scatter and leave him, that's going to betray him, that's going to deny him. My friends, this Passover meal is considered his last supper, and he gives communion. And after the meal, he leaves the upper room, of course, and they cross over the Kidron Valley. They enter the Garden of Gethsemane. But now before I go to that, I want to talk to you just a few minutes about the Last Supper. I didn't bring a whole lot about it. So on the night before his death, the Lord Jesus gathered with his disciples in the upper room to eat the Passover meal. Right? And this is not just some regular dinner that they were having. This was a meal ordained by God in Exodus 12 to celebrate the the freeing of the Israelites from Egypt, Egypt and slavery, uh, and and their escape from bondage. So I'm a little bit

Prophecy Fulfilled And True Kingship

SPEAKER_01 16:50

about that is okay, so so Pharaoh had had God wanted Pharaoh to let his children go. And Pharaoh's like, no, you know, and so the Lord brings down all these plagues, a bunch of plagues. And on the very last one, Pharaoh still refused. So on the very last one, God brought the plague down, and it it the angel of death was going to come through Egypt, and every single firstborn son, they were going to be struck down and die. So the Lord told the Israelites, the Israelite nation, in order for you to not be a part of this, they had to slay a lamb, okay, take the blood, and they have to put it across their doorstep, the stoop or lantle or whatever it's called, that the wood going across. So I have a strip of red across mine still today. But they put this blood across there, and the the when the angel of death came through, and he saw this blood on the door stoop, and people, Exodus 12 tells it a lot better than I'm telling it, the angel of death would skip over those houses. And so the Israelites would be okay. And they the Lord told them to do the blood, take the meat, eat the meat with uh unleavened bread, I believe, and certain herbs and spices and stuff, and have a big meal. And that meal became the Passover meal, which is still today uh still going on. And so this meal, like I said, was no regular dinner. So we know that you know they were in bondage for well over 400 years, and God was going to deliver them out and so bring them back to the land of Cana, which was the promised land. And so, of course, for Pharaoh's, you know, he decided not to do that. And there was a big to-do about it, and it's a really good story, I hope you guys go read. Uh, so God made this Passover meal to be done annually, and it's still done today for remembrance. I personally do this communion every Sunday. Lord's willing, and I get up every Sunday morning and I do communion. Uh and the Lord's Supper is a tradition in the church that was authorized by Jesus Christ Himself. Because in 1 Corinthians 11, 24, 25, and 26, Jesus gave a command. He took the bread and he broke it and he blessed it, and he said, Do this. He said, This is my body that's broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me. Then he took the cup when he had supped, saying, telling him, This cup is the new testament in my blood. Do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me. And so the Lord's Last Supper that they had there, he had there that night with his disciples, proclaims the gospel when you are eating it and drinking it. You're saying, Christ died for me. You're saying I'll always remember this. I'm remembering Jesus Christ and his death on the cross. Friends, it's a visible picture, a practice that reminds us of the sacrifice of Jesus. A lot of people don't believe in doing it but once a year. Like I said, I do it every Sunday. And you see, the friends, the thing about it is, is think about this. Jesus never told us to remember his birth. But my friends, he told us. He told us to remember his death. He said, This do ye in remembrance of me. See that it it's about who directed it, who led it, who delivered it. Friends, who ordained it? Jesus Christ Himself. So what's wrong with sitting down and taking a little bit of juice and a and and a little piece of bread every Sunday? I used to do it daily personally, and I ended up ended up doing it every Sunday. And so that's what he did. That was the meal that he had with his disciples. It wasn't just any ordinary meal. It was his last last mess supper with his disciples. And that's what he tells us to do. Remember this. This do ye in remembrance of me. And that's why I am so for doing uh the the the thing every Sunday. I'm so for doing it. I think everybody should do it at least once a week. But that's just my thoughts. But anyway, so so after the meal, he leaves the upper room. Well that he washes their feet, and he leaves the upper room. Him and his disciples, they cross the Kidron Valley, Luke 22 and Matthew 26, and they enter the Garden of Eden. And the celebration that he was having gives way to crushing sorrow. And it is here in this garden, my friends, that the weight of what's coming starts to really bear down upon our Lord and Savior. Now I've got a a a few little things I want to say about the garden before we go on. Wasn't friends, any old garden. The book of John tells us that the disciples knew this garden very well. Many times that Jesus and his disciples had spent a lot of time here. It was a place for them to relax, a place of power, a place of teaching, a place of a quiet retreat

From Praise To Fading Loyalty

SPEAKER_01 22:20

from the crowds and the hustle and bustle of the streets. It was a place of fellowship with his friends. They probably had a lot of laughs here, rested here. They probably had a lot of prayers here. But see, the sad thing about this little garden, this place of fellowship is going to become the place of loneliness. This place of prayer is going to become the place of surrender for our Lord and Savior. You see, friends, in the garden, he's not performing miracles, he's not preaching to thousands, he's not riding on a donkey. Sitting in this garden, he's praying, he's trembling, he's surrendering. See, Luke 22, see our victory didn't start at the cross, friends. Victory started when he was in the garden and he said, Not my will, but thy will be done. That was when victory started. It didn't start when he was on the cross. It started when he said, My not my will, but thy will. So after the cheers faded and the crowd had faded back, and the temple was cleansed, and uh after the teachings and and and the warnings, Jesus goes to the garden called Gethsemane. Now, Gethsemane means oil press. It was a place where olives were crushed and olive oil was made. And it was in this garden that the weight of what was coming really began to press upon Jesus Christ. In Matthew 26, Jesus says, My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. My friends, that is the Son of Man, fully the Son of God, fully divine and fully human. And he feels the anguish. He's feeling the weight. He feels the dread. Of course, he's human. He's divine, but he's still human. He understands the suffering ahead. He knows what is getting ready to come. He understands the cost, the betrayal, the beating, the humiliation. He understands every bit of that coming. And in the garden, we see the struggle before his sacrifice. We see the struggle. Jesus falls on his face and prays. Matthew 26, 39 says, He says, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thy will. There's no way it would never happen because we are not him. He had a destination in mind. He had a reason in mind at what he was doing, what he was doing. This is not weakness. This is obedience with pressure. And that he didn't pretend that it doesn't hurt. He brings his anguish and his hurt and his dread. He brings it to his father, Matthew 26, and he falls down on his face and he prays to his father. But what turns it off, my friends, is three little words made into one big word, nevertheless. And that's where salvation turns. Nevertheless. That three little words, nevertheless, made into one big long word, changes history. Salvation turns right then and there. My friends. Please understand what I'm saying. The victory of the cross was secured in his surrender at the garden. Now, while he prays in the garden, while our faithful Savior prays, the disciples sleep. He asked them to watch with him, but they

Temple Cleansing And Teaching Week

SPEAKER_01 27:10

can't because their flesh is so weak. But every even though they were weak, he didn't turn back. Even when his friends, his closest friends, when they fail him, when his bro club lets him down, he still moves forward. He didn't stop because they failed. The road to the cross was lonely, but he walked it anyway. And my friends, he walked it for you. He walked it for me. He walked it for the very ones that was going to deny him. He walked it to the very one that betrayed him. He walked it for the ones that scattered. The ones that ran. Every single one of us, he walked that road for all of us. And friends, because he said, Not my will, but thy will, we have salvation. And because he walked the road intentionally, we have hope eternally. The road to the cross began with an appause, applause, a celebration, and it continued and ended in agony. Every single step he took, he chose obedience. Because he could have stopped at any time. But he didn't. And because he chose the cross, we have salvation. Because he chose the cross, we have the promise of heaven. We receive the crown of life. And my friends, again, let this sink in. He walked that road for you and for me. So while Jesus was praying in the garden, they slept. While the weight of the world pressed on our Savior, his closest friends couldn't even stay awake for an hour with them. And so it's in this beautiful place, this beautiful garden, that Judas comes to do his act of betrayal. So we next we see in the footsteps of Jesus, we see that Judas comes in and he's the one who walked beside him every day, the one who shared bread with him, the one who heard his, one of the ones who heard his teachings every day, the ones he just washed his feet in the upper room. He saw his miracles, he saw everything that he'd done. He was right there in the midst. And now he leads a group of soldiers to Jesus with a kiss. So here he was, who was lost. He was so lost, and he became the guide of the others that was lost. Now, is this not truly the blind leading the blind? I mean, and friends, the thing about it is look at this. They came with weapons to arrest the prince of peace. They came with torches, looking for the light of the world. The very one who stood with Christ all those times now stands with those ones who fight against him. But see, our Lord is not a helpless victim. He was, he's not powerless to stop it because he was in total control. Because John 18 tells us that Jesus steps up and he says, Whom sink ye? Who seek ye? He's saying, Who you looking for? In other words, right? In our in our English terms. And they answered, Jesus of Nazareth. He stepped up and he says, I am he. And the Bible tells us when we read that, the Bible tells us that when Jesus said these words, the whole crowd

The Last Supper And Communion

SPEAKER_01 31:20

fell backward to the ground. Wow. Was this not a bursting ray of God's power and wrath? Was this not a warning from God saying, Hey, don't mess with my son? Is this not like God saying, Y'all are in for a treat, yet you don't know what you're getting ready to get into? But see, again, Jesus was in total control here. He has all the power that he needs to end every bit of that. Right then and there, he could have called 10,000 angels to come and get him and take him to his father's side. He did not have to go through any of that. But see, he knew there was no other way. And the thing about it is, get this. Jesus said in John 18 and 8, Jesus said, My friend, still looking out for others, Jesus said, I am He. Let the others go their way. He stepped up. He wasn't running, he wasn't trying to get away from nobody. He said, I'm here, it's me, you got me. Now let these people go. He's still in control, right? And he, if he didn't want to be taken, trust me, they could not have taken him. My friends, he was not a victim. He is our savior. He is our Lord and Savior standing up and taking that cross for each and every one of us that day in the garden. When you read this, you can almost put yourself there. I mean, I can almost put myself right there and man and feel. I mean, wow, people let it sink in what he'd done that day. Because really, it was Jesus himself who set himself up. He set the scene for his arrest. Because if you notice, in several times in John's gospel, we are told that the authorities wanted to and even tried to arrest Jesus, but they couldn't. On each occasion, they were unable to do so. And at several different times he even said, Because it's not my time, it's not my hour. They the Pharisees could not arrest Jesus any moment too soon. They could not do so in their watch, on their time, on their terms. No, it was not going to be that way. It was only on Jesus' terms and only on Jesus' times. He was in total control, right? He was fulfilling everything that the Father had given him to do. And then going to his own arrest, when the hour that the follower had father had given him had come, and only then were they able to get him. Because it was his hour, it was his time. He walked right up and said, I'm here. You've got me. Now let these people go and let's get this show on the road. Of course, we know I'm paraphrasing. He didn't say it like that. But everything Jesus does is on purpose. He went to the garden, my friends, because he knew that Judas would seek him there. He knew Judas had been in that garden with him and the other disciples, fellowshipping, praying, having a good time, having lunch, dinner, whatever. He knew Judas would look for him there. Because that's where they hang. He wasn't running. He wasn't hiding. He was sticking to plan. He was sticking to the plan that was made. Our Lord and Savior. And so, my friends, from the garden, from that beautiful place where Jesus and his disciples had sat in fellowship, from the beautiful spot that they had spent so much time in and made so many good memories, the soldiers and the Jewish officials arrest and they lead our Savior away like a common criminal to give his life on the cross for the sins of the world. He did nothing to defend himself. He had the power to escape, but he didn't. He didn't resist. They came with weapons, expecting a fight. They expected him to run, but my friends, they got neither. He walked right up to them and he did it for us. Friends, he couldn't save himself and us two. And he chose to save us that day. And now the garden is behind him, and the cross is looming in front. And they led him away. It wasn't because he was overpowered. It wasn't because the soldiers surrounded him. No, it was because he surrendered. He didn't have to, but he surrendered. Now we know the disciples scattered. And the Son of God walked out of the garden, not defeated, not broken, not even surprised, but determined. They thought they were taking his life, but he was given it. And he gave it for the guilty. He gave his life for you and me. John 10 and 18, Jesus said, No one take it from me, but I lay it down myself. And from the garden to the cross, every step he made was on purpose. Every drop of blood he shed was given freely. And friends, again, he did it for you and he did it for me. He died so we could live. And the road to the cross began with applause and it ended in agony. And in both places, Jesus was fully committed. He wasn't trapped. He wasn't overpowered. He wasn't even surprised. He walked the road intentionally for you and me. He gave his life on the cross. He didn't have to. He could have called a legion of army, a legion of angels. He could have said, take me back to my father. He could have said I didn't want nothing to do with this. He could have changed his mind. But friends, that day he walked up to them and he let them. I'm sure they probably shackled him, I'm guessing. He let them grab him and lead him out of the garden, of his safe place. The place he had spent countless times with his buddies, with his friends, and doing the praying and talking to his father and fellowshiping and teaching, I'm sure. He let them walk him out of there, headed toward the cross. And I hope this has blessed you as much as it's blessed

Gethsemane: Sorrow, Prayer, Surrender
