Why was Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem on a donkey important?
Help kids understand that Jesus rode on a donkey to fulfill what God had promised long ago through the prophet Zechariah. Remind kids that the Old Testament scriptures look forward to and hope in the promised Messiah.
What does the word hosanna mean? Why do we need to be saved?
Remind kids that the word hosanna means ‘save now.’ Lead kids to discuss how all people need to be saved because we are all sinners. Remind kids that we cannot save ourselves. Explain how we can never be perfect enough to be acceptable to God nor can we do enough good deeds to make God love us more. Tell kids that God loves them and sent Jesus to save them from sin. Remind kids that only Jesus lived the perfect life, and that He died in their place.
How can you praise Jesus like the people of Jerusalem?
Answers will vary. Remind kids that Jesus is worthy of all our praise and that we can worship Him in all areas of our lives. Explain that praising Jesus means that we love Him with our hearts, thoughts, and actions. Encourage kids to always have hearts eager to praise their Savior.
