December 4 - Triumphal Entry



Triumphal Entry
Jesus and His disciples were traveling to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. As they neared the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of His disciples to a nearby village, telling them that as they entered it they would find a donkey and her colt. The disciples were to untie the animals and bring them to Him. If anyone asked why they were doing this, they were to say, "The Lord hath need of them," and there would be no trouble.

After the two disciples had brought the animals to Jesus, they laid clothing on the colt's back for Jesus to sit on. As Jesus rode the colt toward Jerusalem, large crowds of people gathered to honor Him and to spread clothing and palm branches on the ground in front of Him. The followers rejoiced and cried out, "Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord".
After Jesus entered Jerusalem, many of the people asked, "Who is this?" "This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee,” the multitude replied.




Why would Jesus need a donkey and it’s colt?(Matthew 21:1-5)
