8 // "New Dawn"

Summary

Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday is contrasted with the unexpected nature of his kingdom, which is not of this world. He instituted the Passover meal with his disciples, foreseeing his crucifixion and their future denial. The sermon emphasizes that true discipleship involves obeying Jesus' commands and abiding in him, as promised by the Father through the sending of the Holy Spirit, who empowers believers to bear fruit.
