—Matthew 21:1-11

I see two major takeaways from this reading. First, this event was the fulfillment of prophecy as seen in Zechariah 9:9. Second, Jesus was receiving deserved praise and adoration, even though he came into the city in a very humble manner. The people of Jerusalem honored Jesus as their Messiah and the Son of God. As He continued through the city, the crowd got larger and word spread of the savior on a donkey. Eventually, the entire city was buzzing with news of the arrival of Jesus. How do you show honor and express gratitude to our humble Savior?
