Event
The Triumphal Entry
Hosanna to the Son of David
Jesus enters Jerusalem riding a young donkey, hailed with branches and “Hosanna,” fulfilling Zechariah 9:9. He is the gentle King who comes in peace; the last week begins, on the way to the cross (Matthew 21).
A different kind of king
Jesus enters Jerusalem on a young donkey, fulfilling Zechariah 9:9, a king of peace, not mounted on a warhorse.
Hosanna, and then
The crowd hails Him with branches and cloaks, shouting 'Hosanna'. A few days later, part of that same crowd would call for His crucifixion.
