On Palm Sunday, Jesus publicly declared Himself to be the Messiah and King of Israel as He rode into Jerusalem riding a donkey in fulfillment of Bible Prophecy. No attempt by any of those opposed to Him could prevent Him from accomplishing the purpose of His coming, which was to bring salvation through His death on the cross and His subsequent resurrection from the dead. In the eyes of man, the cross appeared to be a tragedy, but in the plan of God it was a triumph. Sadly, the multitudes who received Jesus on Palm Sunday as King, rejected Him in the end when He didn’t meet their expectations. Today, we wait expectantly for the day when Jesus will once again descend the Mount of Olives, as He comes to take His rightful place upon His throne as King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
