Triumphal Entry: Lenten Reflection Day 39

In today’s reflection on Matthew 21:1–11, we join the crowd on the road to Jerusalem, waving palm branches and crying “Hosanna!” But what kind of King are we really welcoming? Jesus enters not with might, but with meekness — not on a war horse, but on a donkey. This Palm Sunday reflection invites us to examine our expectations of Jesus and surrender to the deeper salvation He offers.

Regina shares a personal story of praying for rescue and receiving something far better — the presence and peace of Christ in unexpected ways.

As Holy Week begins, may this devotional help you open the gates of your heart to the humble King.

Scripture:
Matthew 21:1–11
Zechariah 9:9
Psalm 118:25-26

Reflection Questions:

1. What expectations do I place on Jesus that might not align with His character?

2. How do I respond when His answer looks different than my request?

3. Am I willing to follow Jesus beyond the parade — all the way to the cross?

Prayer:
"Jesus, our gentle King, help us to see You as You are and not as we want You to be. May we welcome You with open hands, even when Your way leads through the cross."
