—Matthew 21:1-11

“It’s finally time!” Jesus entered Jerusalem, which was nothing new, but something was different this time. Throughout His life, Jesus had moved in and out of the city. For a while now, he had been waiting nearby, waiting for the right time to enter. And now it had come! He rode in seated on a donkey, in comfort and security, fulfilling the prophecy of long ago. For a moment, the people recognized His lordship and honored Him properly. While we often think of this as the beginning of the crucifixion week, it was also an event in its own right—a time to freely celebrate who Christ was and is.
