Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
Christ's coming into Jerusalem, shows that he was not afraid of the power and malice of his enemies. This would encourage his fearful disciples. He was not disquieted at the thoughts of his approaching sufferings. All marked his humiliation; and these matters teach us not to mind high things, but to condescend to those of low estate.
Mark 11:1-11 (New International Version)

The Triumphal Entry
1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,

2saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

3If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' tell him, 'The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.' "
4They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it,

5some people standing there asked, "What are you doing, untying that colt?"

6They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go.

7When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it.

8Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields.

9Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"

10"Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!" "Hosanna in the highest!"
11Jesus entered Jerusalem and went to the temple. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.


Psalm 118:1-2
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

his love endures forever.
2 Let Israel say:

"His love endures forever."
Psalm 118:19-29
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness;

I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.
20 This is the gate of the LORD

through which the righteous may enter.
21 I will give you thanks, for you answered me;

you have become my salvation.
22 The stone the builders rejected

has become the capstone;
23 the LORD has done this,

and it is marvelous in our eyes.

25 O LORD, save us;

O LORD, grant us success.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.

From the house of the LORD we bless you.
27 The LORD is God,

and he has made his light shine upon us.

With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession

up to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I will give you thanks;

you are my God, and I will exalt you.
29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

his love endures forever.
