The King Arrives: The Newly Anointed King

What kind of King rides a colt through cheering crowds—yet weeps over the city that welcomes Him? In this episode of Back to the Bible Canada, Dr. John challenges our assumptions about power, success, and the nature of God's Kingdom. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, He fulfills prophecy—not with force, but with humility. Far from a misstep in a grand plan, this moment reveals the depth of His mission: to bring salvation, not domination.

The King Arrives: Throughout North American history, there have been two main reactions to monarchy: rebellion or apathy. Some believe the Crown should be rejected, while others see it as largely irrelevant. In short, we wrestle with the idea of kingship. But for followers of Christ, acknowledging Jesus as King is not optional—it’s foundational. In this series, Dr. John Neufeld explores Luke 17–20, showing that the Kingship of Jesus is not only central to the Christian faith, but vital for the world.
