In Matthew 21:1-10, we read about what is traditionally called the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, which set the stage for the events that rapidly developed over the final week of Jesus’ life on earth, because this event holds a key to understanding the events that unfolded after it. In fact, Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was the event that set the other ones in motion.
As Jesus finally approached Jerusalem, he admonished the leaders and affirmed his mission.
Although the first anointed king tried to kill the second one, the Lord protected his anointed, as he always does.
No matter how long we have been Christians, we can always keep growing more and more in purity and love.
