Mark 11:1-11
The Triumphal Entry
The story of Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey is well-known--and repeated in churches around the world every Palm Sunday. It must have been an exciting time as the people hailed Jesus as king and honored him by spreading their cloaks and branches on the road. They shouted "Hosana"--Save us! and looked to Jesus to bring a new kingdom. They were probably hopeful that he had come to release them from the oppression of Rome and set up a new government, ruled for Jews by Jews.
But Jesus' kingdom was of another world. One day he will come again as King and every knee will bow to him and every tongue confess he is Lord. (See Philippians 2:10-11) Until that time, we should worship him and encourage others to find Jesus as their Lord and Savior as well.
