Perfect Timing - John 12:12-19

Last week, our narrative recorded a dinner immediately following the Sabbath on Saturday night. Mary, the sister of Lazarus, performed an act of loving devotion by pre-anointing Jesus' body for His upcoming death and burial. Now, the next day, Jesus begins His entry, His Triumphal Entry, into Jerusalem for Passion Week. We know this as "Palm Sunday." Now, there are a lot of amazing things we will observe about Jesus’ triumphal entry, but the most amazing is the timing of it from a biblical perspective. God had this exact day in mind for Jesus to be officially presented to the nation, and He predicted it through the Old Testament prophet Daniel!
