OVERVIEW
This week, we are learning something amazing about Palm Sunday.
Palm Sunday was not just a story—it was part of God’s plan that He told hundreds of years before it happened!
God told His people when the Savior (Jesus) would come—and Jesus came at exactly the right time.
When Jesus rode into Jerusalem, it wasn’t random.
👉 It was the moment God sent His Lamb
👉 It was part of His perfect plan
👉 And many people didn’t recognize Him
This teaches us something important:
We don’t want to miss what God is doing.
God wants us to:
● Listen to His Word
● Recognize Jesus
● Be ready for His plan
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
Hear → Answer → Think
