Read Matthew 21:1-11
21 As
Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage at the
Mount of Olives. There Jesus sent two of the disciples on ahead 2with
these instructions: “Go to the village there ahead of you, and at once you will
find a donkey tied up with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to
me. 3And if anyone says anything, tell him, ‘The Mastert
needs them’; and then he will let them go at once.”
4 This
happened in order to make what the prophet had said come true:
5 “Tell the city of
Zion,
Look, your king is coming to you!
He is humble and rides on a donkey
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
6 So
the disciples went and did what Jesus had told them to do: 7they
brought the donkey and the colt, threw their cloaks over them, and Jesus got
on. 8A large crowd of people spread their cloaks on the road while
others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9The
crowds walking in front of Jesus and those walking behind began to shout,
“Praise to David’s Son! God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise
God!”
10 When
Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was thrown into an uproar. “Who is he?”
the people asked.
11 “This
is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee,” the crowds answered.
Think
On Palm Sunday Jesus and his disciples approach the temple;
where he as David’s Son and rightful heir to the throne should be crowned. Instead he is not recognized.
Pray
Lord, help me to recognize your kingship today.
