Religion & Spirituality
In this lesson (Part III of our look at "Prophetic Palm Sunday"), we look at events that transpired as the Lord Jesus rode into Zion on the back of an ass's colt. Matthew tells us, ". . . all the city was moved". Everyone was stirred about Jesus and what His entrance signified - at least to them. Some people were stirred by the boldness of such a public act and Jesus' acceptance of Hosanna's to His Messiahship. Other people were stirred with unspeakable joy, believing (at least at that moment) He was the Deliverer Who would set them free from Rome. The Roman soldiers in the city were probably stirred with laughter over the seeming foolishness of the whole thing - a "king" who enter the capital city on a donkey, followed by a ragtag bunch of Galilean fishermen! It was too funny!
Then there was the Pharisaical crowd; those religious rulers who were so stirred by jealousy and self-righteous indignation that they rebuked Jesus for allowing young children to hail Him as "the Son of David," a clear reference to the Messiah. We cannot but wonder if there was anyone present that day who was stirred to the core of his soul because he realized it was the very day prophesied in Daniel's Seventy Weeks' Prophecy for "Messiah the Prince" to make His official presentation to Israel!!
