This reading includes the event in the final week of Jesus’ life that is called “The Triumphal Entry” (verses 28-40). It was a great thing, predicted by prophets, arranged by Jesus, and filled with praise to the King. It was preceded and followed by many events where He was misunderstood, persecuted, and plotted against. He had entered the world as a King (Luke 1-2; Matthew 2), now He enters Jerusalem being called a King, and on Pentecost He would be crowned King (Acts 2). He overcomes all of the negative and reigns to this day as King of Kings.
“Blessed be the King”
